Today marks the first day of the rest of my life. I got up earlier than usual, although not quite as early as I desire to. Still, it is heading in the right direction.
I have already submitted my official weigh-in although I see that our challenge doesn't officially start until tomorrow. Disappointed that I am just about the number that I was hoping to avoid, but encouraged that these next six months are going to turn this all around for me. When (not if) I acheive the goal weight - I will be approximately 10 pounds off of my ideal weight. Just imagining how I am going to feel and look is very motivating!
I have done Day 1 of Daily Burn's True Beginner exercise program and it is my intention to work out every single day - following that program along for these first eight weeks and then seeing what I'm ready for after that. I am trying to be realistic in what it is I will be able to do - considering I have been very sedentary up til now.
I've had my Atkins shake for breakfast along with my cup of coffee. I've taken my Rx and Multivitamin, my shot of Ningxia Red and my shot of Floravita (iron).
I would also like to walk daily and to make it my intention to meet my daily steps using my FitBit, but I have not done that yet today, although the day is young. ;) Actually, since I will be taking my 11 year old to the mall to get her ears pierced today, I may hit my steps just by having them mall walk with me!
So, in summary - I have had a great start and pray that I keep this momentum going!
How is your start?
