Well it's been an interesting couple of days. I have done fairly well on eatting and very good on exercise. For those of you that do not know I bought myself an Elliptical machine for Christmas. I have not used it enough so I am going to be working on that. Monday I exercised for 20 minutes on one of the trainer settings. Trust me... 20 minutes is tough. LOL Especially when 5 of it is on the 5th level resistance.
Tuesday I walked 2.5 miles home from work. To walk all the way home from work is going to take some time to build up to because the 1 mile I didn't walk yesterday is almost completely straight up and down several hills. I am hoping by July I will be in full form to do it.
Thank you all for your support. I am really looking forward to making this happen. Woot! :-)

Hey! It's me!
So you know when life stops and gives you a good kick in the pants?
Well here I am. This weekend I found out that my wee little brother (all of 28 yrs old) is getting married in November. Well for the past yr and a half or so I have been trying to change my eating habits and start losing some weight. In 2006 I lost 30 pounds but then I went on my lovely road trip and gained 20 back over the next few months. I have maintained the last 10 pounds and many of my eating habits but I am not getting the exercise I need to in order to lose this extra weight. Well it is going to be tough going home and losing some weight would be awesome. So here goes nothing…
I am going to lose 50 pounds by October 25. (This is the weekend before my little bros wedding.) My current weight is 242. So WHEN I succeed I will be at 192 or less. It has been about 16 years since I have been on the under side of the 200 pound mark.
What do I need to do to reach this goal? You. How can you help? Well that’s the easy part. Just encourage me to lose it.
If you would like to be a part of my weight loss goal and helping me reach it just post a little note. I will be trying to keep a journal here more regularly and I will post pictures and share recipes.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on things that would help please feel free to share.
Hey if any of you out there want to lose weight too come on with me on my journey. We could all stand to be a little healthier. Heh
Love ya,
Leslie
