Day 1 - Again!

Well, here I am.... back in the saddle again. The "need to lose weight" saddle, that is. Blech! I hate it! But... I have gotten into a good groove with exercise, at least. Now, if I can get into a good habit of eating better right, then... maybe... I'll be able to lose weight and git "fit".

My hopes with this blog is to journal my "journey", as I travel down this weightloss path......again!

I also want to use this blog as a way to journal about helpful magazine articles and things online that I read that will be useful along my journey.

I don't want to list my foods here. I am already doing that on another site. But, I will blog about my daily exercise and the healthy ways that I spend each day, as well as my thoughts.

This morning, I decided that there would be NO MORE EXCUSES! I will eat right and exercise DAILY!

I arrived at the gym before 10:00am. I forgot to actually "look" at the clock, but I know that this is right because it was 10:15 when I decided to get on the "bike" and cycle for 15 min.

I did some other "weight" machines before that. I need to take paper and pencil with me tomorrow so that I can write down the machines that I like and how many reps that I do, since I can't remember what they are called.

Today, I also went to the grocery store and bought some fruits and veggies. Instead of CRAP to snack on, I now have some better options.

I also bought another (I have bought several lately) fitness magazine. It is called SHAPE. Here ae some article titles on the front that caught my eye --

- 10 Minutes to Thinner Thighs
- Sexy Arms, Perky Butt, Firm Abs and More... How the Stars Get Them.
- Fat Blasting Food Combos
- The Healthiest Movie Munchies

Today, I also went to Walmart after the gym and bought a protein bar and a Gatorade "after workout" drink. I bought some more of those drinks at the grocery store.

I just typed and printed a "Fitness Log" for myself so that I can take it to the gym tomorrow and record the machines that I do and for how long.

Yesterday, I downloaded the Jillian Michaels app for my Ipod. And... I signed up for her newsletter.

When David got home today, we took a 4 mile bike ride thru the neighborhood. I haven't biked in a while, so it kicked my butt!!

For a snack, when we got back.... I ate two strawberries & a few grapes with some light whipped topping. YUM!

I think I have done pretty good today!
