New take on life

It's official. I'm started a new way of living. (If I say it's a diet I won't do it and then I'll be in the same place I started...what's the point of that?)

It started yesterday...simple enough. No visits to weight-loss chains to pay big (or even little) money, no fad diets that seems to "work for celebrities", no starving myself, and no being upset because I'm hungry immediately after eating a meal. This time it's different. I've thought for years that I should do this, but just haven't had the discipline or the real desire. For some reason I am motivated this time. I plan to work out a LOT and eat less. No, I'm not switching to all foods that are "lite" or "low-cal"...just making portions smaller (measuring most things out), and paying more attention in general. I'm using an online fitness helper called FitDay. They are helping me to simply write down what I eat (in easy electronic form) and what exercise I do. There is a journal for to me write out struggles, victories, etc. Joe and I are going to do exercises at home, and at the Family Activity Center here in Shelbyville. Tim is going to do the same but at different times of the day. I'm excited to see how we look this summer! Watch out world!!!! I'm gonna be a HOTTIE!!!!!!!!!
