September 1, 2008 measurements

Weight: 203 lbs
Hips (in inches): 44.5
Waist: 37.5
Bust: 48
Yes, we are a little top heavy, but I am a nursing mother, after all.

I got an article out of the paper on how to be able to jog 30 mins without stopping within a month's time, even if you are out of shape as I am. It starts today...more on that later.

Getting it right

Okay, so I am supposed to go walking/jogging with a couple of other ladies MWF. One of them broke her toe, so she's out for a while. I am sad to say I used that as an excuse not to go. What's really sad is that I have a treadmill in the basement totally gathering dust. So, in the direction of trying to get things right, I've decided that exercising with friends is definitely more fun, but I cannot allow myself to wimp out if someone can't go with me. It's totally time to get serious about it. Next week, I'll get that part right.

Beginnings

Here we go:

Weight: 203 lbs

Getting Started

This is my getting healthy journal. Fat itself isn't even the biggest issue at hand. It's that I haven't been proactive enough with my life in general--physically, emotionally. I need to become a harder worker in many ways. This will track how I do with my health. I don't have "health problems" per se, but I don't want to get there anytime soon. I'm only 28 and I know that I HAVE to get a handle on things before it becomes even more difficult. Don't feel obligated to comment, but positive comments would definitely be appreciated, as well as "kicking-my-rear-to-keep-me-going" comments...just no swearing or tearing, if you please.

I'm going to keep up to date on how I eat (not just what), my weekly weight (I weigh undressed, first thing in the morning, before I eat, after going to the toilet. That way, it's always the same way to go, not dictated by what I've consumed or whatever) every Monday, and measurements as well. I will also blog how I feel emotionally about myself. I want to do this so that I can make connections as to how I handle my eating cravings that usually go along with emotional distress. I think I will also post monthly pictures of myself; please don't gag. :) I will also list what exercise I've done and how I feel about it.
Thank you for your support and caring.
