the beginning

I am going to try to use this as both my food and exercise journal. We will see how that goes. I am not sure how consistent I will be with blogging. Hopefully I will be updating this once a day in the evenings around 7pm or so (but don't hold me to that). Thank you to all of you who said you would support me in changing my life.

I have already finished reading the Biggest Loser book, it had some good insight. I am now moving on to Dr.Phil's book. I have also begun writing in a journal the things I am learning about in the books I read as well as my thoughts, feelings and "a-ha" moments.

I have decided to weigh myself weekly. For me daily is to much. I don't want to look at that number every day and waiting to do it monthly is just too long for me. I am hoping that once Paul gets up we can go over to BB and B or Target to check out the fancy scales that will give you your BMI as I am more interested in that number going down than the poundage. I know right now that on the BMI scale I am obese and have been for awhile. My main concern is to feel better, to know that I am healthier, to have both my BMI and pant size go down. I think I have bored you enough with this for now.
