Shared on Sat, 05/26/2007 - 13:25A while back I titled a post "And so it begins," and then nothing happened. The post was about losing weight, exercising and eating better. Shock and amazement, I continued to eat out for every meal, did nothing to exercise, and sat on my ass. Well done! All things considered, it was a huge success.
So, I'm not going to boast that I've lost 100 pounds or anything, but I have started exercising, and it feels great. I can never remember why I stop exercising, but I can always remember how good I feel when I do. I've been walking about an hour and a half every day (which is a lot for a slug like me) and cut fast food out of my diet (which means a complete revamp of my intake) for about a week now. I think the proverbial switch has finally flipped, and I can't wait to be in better shape.
I took my "fat" pictures today, so I can have an image in front of me to remind me why the hell I should be exercising. I plan to take the same pics about once a month, to try to keep track of progress. I'm not overly concerned with hitting a weight goal (yet), I'm just more concerned about seeing some progress. I feel more energy and feel like progress is being made, but the pictures are a great way to motivate myself. I wanted to post this here, so I can come back and have a reminder about how good it feels to be active, to have a slight burn in my legs after a long walk, to be out in the sun. Walking for now, more to come later. Keep at it!
