Figuring things out...

Under the weather so no gym today. Believe me, I would if I could. Should be clear to hit it tomorrow after work.

As for food...I need some help. I'm afraid to eat the wrong things...afraid to eat too much...so I'm not eating at all. Today consisted of 5 pretzel's and scrambled eggs. Not cool. My mind was all foggy by noon and I was shaky. Taco salad for dinner hit the spot. I could have had 10 helpings...BUT I DIDN'T!!!!! yay me!

I'm leaning towards Weight Watchers. Keeping track of points, which keep track of calories for me, seems to be the way to go. Points will be a lot easier for me. I punch what I ate into the app and tada!

Already my energy level is up and my spirits are too. Amazing what cardio will do for ya. I haven't had a regular pop in days. No sweets and no bread. I don't miss them either.

Hitting Woodfield Mall Saturday with my daughter and sister to buy a Jr. High valentines dance dress. A lot of walking. Great exercise! I'll take it any way I can get it.

Made an appointment with my medical Dr. for a check up and diet kick start. Please, anyone reading this who is starting a big weight loss like I am, go to your Dr. first for a check up. I'm afraid to see what my cholesterol is. At one time it was 340. Heart attack anyone?!

I'm going to see my trainer for measurements and an exercise routine. I miss her. I want her to see me hit the big goal. One I've had for years. Break 200 pounds! Haven't seen the under side of 200 since my wedding. Mom died 6 months later unexpectedly and BAM...bottom dropped out. Another post for another time.

I've decided on small goals. 10% of my weight at a time. Of course every 5 lbs I'm getting a new charm for my bracelet (buying it Saturday) so that will be a booster while working on that 10%. I like that idea!

I will post my full before picture with measurements this weekend. Can't wait to share my medical results when I have them (gulp)!

First goal is 28.7 lbs.

Here we go...
