Lori's Post

This Post is for Lori...
I have a friend at work who's mom is a blog guru. Now mind you, I only know Lori in passing, but I love that she was passionate in helping me achieve my goal. She had some suggestions to make my post a little more worth while. :) So you'll notice, I have added a "ticker" to track my progress. Which was a great suggestion, I wasn't aware I could do that. (I did notice that my cousin's wife Jana had one on her blog after I heard about this). You go girl!
Second, Lori wants to know what my plan is. How am I going to do it? Well I have already had a minor set back this week... I was run over by a 100lb rotweiller, we call her Monster. She made me spin around 360 degrees and I landed on my face! In the process I hurt my neck my side and my right leg. But I didn't want this to be an excuse, so I still got on the treadmill and walked until I couldn't walk anymore... making it at least a mile before I quit. Which is not how I wanted to kick this off. Today was the first day I made it over 2 miles. Walking the whole way, but doing it none the less. I do plan on going to water aerobics tomorrow and then every Tuesday and Thursday from here on out. Hitting the treadmill every other day but Friday. I am still taking it off for myself. I would like to get up to jogging at least 3 miles a day, but like they say, "one day at a time". As far as eating goes, I am going to be realistic, I'm not going to starve myself or eat Broiled Chicken and Broccoli every meal. But I will eat in moderation, control my portions. Make better choices in what I do eat. I am a Biggest Loser fan and one of the tips was to eat Fiber One bars as snacks. They are pretty tasty. So instead of going for chips I'll grab one of those or maybe some fruit. If there is a choice in white or wheat for something, I'll eat the wheat. But if we are having pizza for dinner. I'm going to have a piece of pizza. I want this to be something that I can continue to do. But not deprive myself of everything just to gain the weight back because I'm not used to eating pizza. But I can't wait to see what happens! Lori, I hope this is what you were looking for! :)
