Early Morning walk!

So got up this morning and went for a walk while the hubby was taking a jog.  It was totally against my will.  Early mornings and cold don't make for a very happy me. But once it was done I felt ok.  I mean it wasn't even 7 am and I had already done 20 minutes of exercise.  Can't beat that now can you. 

I didn't quite get to 5000 steps yesterday. I will today. I figured out how many steps I need each hour that I am awake to get to that.  It is like 420 so that seems do able.  I will just have to walk around the house a few times..not big deal!

Eating was ok yesterday.  I did well considering it was date night. Will do better today. 

After while when I am more awake I am going to get on the exersice bike.  Do a little reading and a little peddling..sounds like fun.

Slow and steady...

Til Then..

Treadmill...

Just spent some quality time with the treadmill.  That was interesting after a long time apart.  So for day on,going along with the slow and steady concept,  I did a mile in 23 minutes.  Not too shabby.  Not too great.  While on the treadmill I did set my first exercise goal.  I want to do a mile in 20 minutes.  I think that is very manageable.  Once I hit that one, I will set a new one.  Slow and Steady. 

Untill then.

Back on the wagon again..Hopefully

So here I am again.  Trying this whole weight loss thing....again.  It is so hard.  I know I have picked a hard time to get started again with the Holidays coming, But I knew if I didn't start now then I would just keep eating and keep getting bigger then in the new year things would be even harder. So here I start again. 

I don't really have any grand plans this time.  I am going to move more and eat less and better.  I started to move more part yesterday.  I am adding the eat less today.  I have also decided to try to cut down on the sugar I eat.  I know I can't cut it all out.  I know me too well, but I know that I can eat less sugar everyday.  I don't drink much soda anyway so cutting that out won't be hard, but I am from the South so giving up my sweet tea...well now I just don't know about that.  I am going to do some research into the whole fake sugar stuff.  In the past I wasn't totally impressed  with Splenda but now there are so many more new products to try. 

I am starting to wear my arm band again. That really did help me last time.  I have set smaller goals for myself this time.  I think I was looking to big picture in the past.  Now it is going to be slow and steady I hope.

Well it is off to the treadmill. 
The goal for today in 5000 steps at least. (I know it should be 10,000 but I am starting slow remember)

Will fill you in tomorrow on how it all works out!
