So, I have been reading a lot of success stories for weight loss today. Everytime I read some I get so pumped and think about how I would right my own story when I succeed.. So I just thought, why wait? So here is the start to my weight loss success story:

 It was July of 2008 when I finally realized that my weight problem wasn’t going to fix its self. I had been over weight my entire life, and had very little success getting and keeping the weight off in the past. This fateful month I had bought a new camera, but could not believe the pictures that were showing up. I couldn’t believe that I had let myself get to that point. At 310 I knew I couldn’t allow myself to continue on like this. My first steps were to use that camera after all. I took pictures of myself in a pair of sweats and a sports bra. I let it all hang out and hung it on my wall with my measurements on it. Finally I vowed to myself that in a month, when I took new pictures and measurements, there would be a difference.

The following day I stopped drinking soda, and swore off ice cream. I started doing some kind of activity for 45 minutes every day to get my excersize rolling.

Stay tuned buddies!! Additions to my success story to come in the near future

Welcome back from the weekend everyone!!

Well, most of my weekend went well- I only ate out once. So that what good. The really good news is, My dog had her puppies on Saturday!!! We had some complications and had to take her to the vet, but her and the 2 pups are doin great. I have to admit the whole thing was pretty stressful, and I have been turning to the ice cream for comfort. It hasn’t been really terrible, only slightly terrible- LOL

I really need to work on my activity. I think that is goin to be the key to my success. I do pretty good with the food and the water as long as I stay concious of my goals. So, activity is my big hurdle. I have some great DVDs, I really just need to apply myself and get some cardio in. I know that if I focus my efforts on my cardio, then I will get down to a weight that is comfortable enough to focus on strength training. 

So that is where I am at… I work for a few more hours, then I am going to go home, check on the puppies (all of them including mama) and then work out while my laundry is in the dryer.

Well, I am off like a herd of turtles! Have a great day guys!

You know, I never planned on ballooning up to 300 pounds. And then I never hit 300….I shot right past 300 and hit 310 with a resounding thud. Sigh….I never ever thought that I would be this weight. This sucks.

 I have a plan, today I am going to take progress pictures….well, non progress to start out- but we all need to start somewhere, right? Hopefully I can use it as a motivation tool. I am going to take my measurements and work on those as well.

Well, today is the 4th of July, Yay for independance!! I am planning on staying home with my pregnant dog, she is ready to have these puppies any time and I want to make sure she doesn’t have them while I am out.

Have a great weekend!!!
