Hanging in There

Well I've been doing the diet and exercise thing for 12 days now and I've lost 6 pounds so far. It's hard not to be impatient and want more but I guess that's pretty good. I have noticed that I have more energy lately and that's worth it all.

Our Family

Well, I finally got started. I was slow getting started because I was sick and I started worring that if I didn't get started then I never would. So, I started eventhough I'm not completly healthy. I started with walking on my treadmill 2 miles a day plus I went skiing on Thursday night. Today I walked 31/2 miles and I have lost 3 pounds so far this week. I was feeling quite shocked at how out of shape I have become. Walking has never been a work out like it is now. Usually I have to run to feel like I have had a good workout. But, everybody has to start somewhere. The fact that I have ran a half marathon before, and I have been where I want to be, helps me to hang in there. I know it is possibe and I just need to hang in there and take baby steps.
Rodger has not become too involved yet, besides weighing me on Sunday and telling me he loves me and thinks I'm sexy not matter what size I am. Tommorrow is my second weigh in and things are going good so far!

Before Picture

Well, this takes some guts to post this picture but I'm hoping to have a dramatic after picture when I'm done with my weight loss journey. I decided it was definatley time to do something because I have gained probably 55 pounds since we got married over 5 years ago. I have asked Rodger to be my personal trainer and train with me for a half marathon in about 16 months. I also thought it was a good way to strengthen our relationship. Hopefully we don't kill each other before were done. Wish me luck I will need it!
