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.

Hello Tuesday Morning,

Goodmorning dear friends,
Another day is upon us and boy oh boy things are looking up. I stepped on the scale this morning to find it sitting at 262 again so happy about that. I am pretty sure that I strained something in my knee yesterday playing ultimate frezbee. But it was loads of fun.
Im excited to say that I got a great new job. I will have to tell you more bout it later.
I was looking over my goals to discover I am only 69 pounds from my target weight. YAY!! I thougth I was about a hundred pounds away but man oh man I need to learn how to do math. I love reading all your comments I love that you are going on this journey with me.
So heres to another Day, another Pound and another step to the new you.

    Well Tuesday has been good so far...but it's only 9:30 LOL. I made myself get up and workout...DVD then a nice hour-ish stroll through the neighborhood. It felt really good! We went up north over the weekend and I was disappointed in myself when I got home and weighed in at 190. :( Sooo, no more excuses...no more being lazy... I hate knowing that I've let myself be lazy this last year. At this time last year I had just lost 30 lbs and weighed 155, which was my goal weight. It seems like I just lost interest after I reached my goal...then gained it all back and then some. At least I have motivation and a larger goal this time. Yes, we're going to Vegas next month, but even more of a motivation is the fact that we are moving to Florida next Spring, and I wanna feel more than good about myself. I think sometimes I don't let myself have fun because I'm so unhappy about the way I look. And this time my goal weight is 125, which will put my BMI at exactly where it needs to be for my height. Not sure I've ever been 125, LOL, but it is my goal and I'm gonna do my best! I'm so glad to hear that you all are struggling to...Not that I want you to struggle, but it helps me realize that it's not just me that struggles. Why couldn't I just have the messed up teeth, where I could have gone to the dentist and get fixed in a weekend? LOL Well, here's to another day on this journey together! Love ya much bestie! :D
