Welcome to Finding the New You!

Dear friends,
Thank you for joining my journey to find a better me. I am so proud that you wanted to join me. Let me explain how I would like this to go.
Each day I ask that you work out 20 min. Thats all ! Every friday is a weigh in. I will be POSTING my weight. You are welcome to do that as well, but if not then just let us know if you gained or lost. :)
I am starting this blog to host our feelings and our thoughts about this process.
Also to post great recipes, or workout tips. This is a great place for support, and comfort, as each of us is going through tthe same thing.
So Aug 1 2011 is the first day. I will be posting my starting weight, no lies, no excusses.. Just the raw me. I will continue to post every friday for one full year.. after one year on AUG 1 2012 if I have reached my goals I will be heading to Vegas. Where I am hoping with all the hard work you have put in you will be able to join me.
Now I know it seems like a lot of time and money. BUt if you commit to just 20 min a day 5 days a week, and every 2 weeks put 20 dollars aside. THen I know this will be a piece of cake.
MMMMMM CAKE! . So what are you waiting for lets get this show on the road..
Im here for you as I know you will always be there for me.

Good Thursday Morning!

As you can tell from my very different looking post that I am quite happy today. Its thursday another beautiful morning in the Colorado Mountians. Well lets see what drama I can come up with today. Yesterday while at walmart a crazy man grabbed me and caused bruising on my left arm.. AWSOME! OH well. This world is crazy.. What does that have to do with working out? Well I'll tell you.. I can now run faster and better then I could a week ago. So I can get away quicker. :)
Today is my timed mile. I am not allowed to run according to my dr. So it is my walk/jog mile. One week ago today I posted my first time which was something in the 18 min range. I have seen changes in my body. I sweat more, smile more, fit in more, sleep more and am just more happy with my life.
Breakfast- Peanut butter toast( im on a kick )
Lunch- Salad ( another kick)
Dinner( Carries house :) )
To all of you who are following my daily ramblings I thank you. I know that without this blog and the thought that others are reading it I might not be doing as well as I am right now. And I also know that through the help of the lord all things are possible.
On a side note, Aug 4 2010 I weighed myself and found out I was at my heaviest at 372 lbs. I am not proud of that number but I own it. This morning as I weighed myself I was blessed to find the number to be 267 lbs. I am so proud of the work that I have done. I am thankful for my health, and for the chance to better myself. For those that never saw me at my heaviest be greatful. LOL and for those that love and accept me then and now I thank you. Thank you for coming on my journey, thank you for making me responsible.
So here is to another day, another LBS and another step to the new you.
