Every Day is my Day One -

OMG getting to 215 was so easy! Now that I'm diagnosed diabetic - I have to loose some weight. Not really motivated otherwise. I love food! I love chocolate cake, good hot chili, soda pop, greasy buttered popcorn, well - ya'll get the point. I'm lazy by nature. Thinking the occasional dogwalk is good enough. Really, I have got to trash that line of logic right now!!! The focus will be that every day is my day one. Most of the time I notice my greatest motivation falls on the first day...... first day of my diet I rock it out, first day of my excercize plan I can conquer the world. Goal setting and planning for success will be my best strategy. I'm hoping FATSECRET and all the support I'm banking on will get me there. Don't care about the numbers of my weight - all though I recognize it is a way to chart success and failure -- I'm interested in my clothes fitting better, my blood sugars going down and stabalizing, and my general health haing a boost. I'm interested in being complimented by my husband. I'm interested in feeling good.

Goal #1 = Walk. Walk everyday. No excuses. I have a treadmill to walk on when the weather is bad. I have two dogs to walk outside when the weather is nice. The excersize journal on FATSECRET will help me keep track.

Goal #2 = Journal my food. FATSECRET's food journals are all ready helping me watch my food - and it's only day one!! ha ha

Goal #3 = Remember to take my meds. The diabetic medications won't do me any good if I keep forgetting to take them. I will set a timer on my phone to remind me of my pills.


WISH ME LUCK -- I'm going it..... :)
