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!
