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.

Its Monday!

Goodmorning, Oh boy another weekend has gone by. I am hoping that after a TERRIBLE week this one will be better. I am sad that it is my last week at the youth center, I will miss the kids but school is starting and it is time for them to head back.
I didnt work out this weekend as I usually dont and I am starting to wonder if that is making things worse. I feel like by monday I have to push myself so hard that it almost hurts. I wonder if I should work out on saturday but not sunday. Any Ideas? Starting weight this week my scale said I gained 4 lbs over the weekend. I think it is just water weight or at leaste I hope it is just water weight. So I start the week back at 266.. frusterating. OH WELL! Use it to make me stronger and faster.
I thougth by now I would have some sort of craving but I dont. I am suprised as I always have before. I do dream of watermellon. :) I know its silly but it just sounds so good.
I am going to start a multi vitamin this week to see if it helps anywith my energy. Usually working out gives me all kinds of energy but for some reason I am more exausted. My DR seems to think it is just because of all the medications and all the sickness I have had so i am going on a all natural multi viti.. Hope it helps.
I want to hear how the rest of you are doing? Is it hard to meet your weekly goals? Are you haveing cravings? What is the best and worst part of it all?
I am proud of every baby step that you and I take along this journey.
SO heres to another day, another pound and another step to the new you .

    Your body definitely needs a day of rest, but two in a row might be a little too much. But I also know it's hard sometimes to fit in a workout on the weekend when there are so many things to do (i.e. chores, rest, play :) ) Maybe try something not as tiring, like yoga or a stretch DVD. BTW, I have SEVERAL workout DVD's. You're welcome to checkout my library :-)
    The scale really isn't moving a whole lot for me...I fluctuate up and down the same two pounds every week. But I am being consistent with my workouts. It helps to "make an appointment with myself" in order to get my workouts in.
    Stick with it! You definitely motivate me :)
