Making Plans, Setting Goals

I will agree that this is quite an undertaking! No not the blogging thing, the losing weight thing! I have learned that the best way to tackle such an enormous task is one day at a time or one bite at a time. You have heard the old saying, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!”

Well, I am not looking to eat an elephant but I am looking to accomplish a huge goal and the only way that I am going to do it is by having short term goals and working daily.  We already know my long term goal(lose 145 pounds) but what are my short term goals?

• Walk (eventually Run) on my treadmill daily
• Cut my daily intake of calories
• Blog everyday

So  what do you think? I would like to have this weight off sooner than later but I have to be realistic. I am giving my self until my birthday which is in July.  So a little less than one year! If I do it sooner, great!

One day at a time! Off to the treadmill for me!

And So It Begins!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

I can’t believe that I am going to do this, but here goes.

I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember! I have no problem admitting that.  I have tried many different plans and I have never lost a significant amount of weight, but I will be honest, I don’t think I have ever put my heart and soul into as I am about to do now.  Something about putting this out on the internet is both scary and motivating.  So here goes!

I need to lose 145 pounds! Wow, that sounds so daunting! One week at a time ~ that is my plan. I do not want to have weight loss surgery because I know that I can do this on my own without surgery.  I know that it will not happen overnight, it is going to take a daily effort.

So I invite you to join me on my journey!
