Hey, It Really Is Tuesday :)

And here I am. Believe me, I am shocked too :) Anyway I am here and I weighed!  My weigh-in wasn't exciting at all, I am maintaining.  I had a high calorie day on Sunday and I am back into working out.  That usually gives me a quick weight loss, maybe next week will be batter (scale-wise).  But I am just glad that I am finally getting it together and posting! 
I had company over the weekend.  I mentioned that I want to start stepping out of my comfort zone, and I did!!!  I initiated the get-together!  You probably don't think that is a big deal.  But for me it is.  I usually wait for people to contact me, I wouldn't want to bother anyone (ugh!).  But, I just did it!  I am starting to realize that people like me!  When I am just being myself, I am a lot of fun :) 
Plus, a nice thing happened while they were here.  They really noticed how much weight I have lost!  People haven't really said anything (aside from my mom and my sister's), and I was really okay with it.  I figured it was maybe awkward for someone to say 'hey, you look smaller' or something.  Plus, I can really tell a the difference, so it didn't really matter what anyone else said or didn't say.  I didn't think it would be a big deal if anyone did notice, but it was nice :) 
Anyway that's it for now.  I am thinking that I will be doing my very own workout challenge again.  It worked really well for me last time.  I seem to do fine if I challenge myself, I am still not so good at challenging others.  I am not sure if it bothers me so much now.  So, I am going to figure out my plan and post it later. 
I have been noticing some amazing changes in my body lately and I want to add more exercise in.  I miss it! Weird, huh? - LOL!

Bye for now,

The Big Reveal :) or My "Before" Pic

OK, so I have been putting off posting my pics for various reasons. Mainly my reason excuse is that my computer and camera hate each other right now. I have no idea how to fix this problem, so I "can't" post any pics. But really, if I wanted to, I could get off my butt, go to the store, print out my pics and scan them here. A longer process, for sure - but easily doable - at least until they are on speaking terms again ;) Anyway, needless to say, I have just been putting the whole thing off. Then I was looking through my pictures that are already on my computer and realized that there are a few of me already on here. Hmmmm. Maybe I could just post one of these? - uh, DUH!!! :) Sooooooo here goes nothing:


*note* This pic is not very recent, but it shows me before I lost any of my weight (this time) and is at least a step out of my comfort zone, out of hiding. Plus, since I would rather have some of my weight loss pics on here, I am sure this will get me off my butt ;) Anyway that's all for now - I am just going to post this before I lose my nerve.

Bye for now,

Hello

I am actually doing it..... I am going to start a weight loss blog. OMGoodness!!!
I have been "meaning" to do this forever. But, of course, it is a HUGE step out of my comfort zone. I mean, I do not like to even think about my weight, so writing about it is a bit of a stretch. The thing is, I think being in denial about my weight is THE reason I have weight issues in the first place. I know, DUH!!!, right? Anyway so for the last little while I have been working some of my eating and exercise issues out. The main issues with eating and exercise are that:
a) I don't want to think about what I eat before I eat it (that might take the enjoyment out of it)
and
b) I don't want to exercise (whining)
So of course by working them out I mean that I stopped whining and I opened my eyes. I am getting into a pretty regular exercise routine, which I WILL keep up! And I am eating waaaaaay better. Sooooooo I will blog about this journey and it's success :)

That's it for now. I just really wanted to get something down before I could second guess myself again. Here is to the beginning of another journey. I cannot wait to reach destination ME!!!!

Oh and I guess if I am blogging my weight loss we need a starting weight: 199 lbs.
