Update...

Over the weekend, I bought new workout shoes, something I hadn't done in at least 3 years, it was definitely time. So, I decided to try out this running program, called from the couch to 5k. You can find it here. I've tried this program numerous times in the past, but normally only get to about week 3. My goal is to complete it. I did day one yesterday, and it wasn't bad at all. Did show me just how out of shape I really am though. I haven't had any port yet, but, my mom made lasagna over the weekend, and she normally uses ground sausage in it, and I brought some to work today.

Get Right...

I didn't go work out yesterday. But all is not lost, I made tacos with turkey burger for dinner, but I only ate one! There was a serious storm last night, and the power went off, so I got to work super late today, but I have to work out, especially since I didn't go yesterday. It's a must. I also only had about 6 cups of water yesterday, but that's better than normal. I'm taking baby steps.

On Today...

I forgot to put on my pedometer this morning, dangit. But, I brought my water bottle, which is 32 ounces, I've already drunk 16 ounces of water. I didn't eat pork for breakfast, I had a pop tart, not the best breakfast, but I didn't eat pork. I'm eating chicken for lunch, and then I took out ground turkey to make tacos for dinner. Doing good thus far! I plan on going to the gym after work!

This weight...

La and I said that we would blog each day about what we are doing to lose weight, hoping to get and stay motivated. So, here are some goals that I have set.

1. I want to lose 10 pounds by August 29th.
2. I will drink at least 8 glasses of water a day (I typically drink 3 - 4).
3. I will walk at least 10,000 steps a day (I have a pedometer).
4. I will play volleyball on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.
5. I will go to the gym at least 2 days a week (other than volleyball days).
6. And last but not least, I will do push-ups and sit-ups on days when I don't go to the gym or play volleyball.

I've been feeling more and more self conscious lately because of my weight, and I have never been like that. I don't want to be skinny, but I don't want to be where I am either.

Don't talk about it, be about it. That's my motto for losing weight. Starting Monday, I'm working out, at least 4 days a week. And, no more Mountain Dew, or Snickers. It's time, to get my mind right, so that when I go to Punta Cana this summer, I don't have to feel insecure about how I'm looking, and I can take as many pictures as I want to, I take that back, so I can post as many pictures as I want to. There is probably nothing that will stop me from taking pictures, lol. I don't want to be skinny, just in shape, and looking good, in whatever I decide to put on. So YM.CA, get ready for ya girl, the time has come, for me to quite talking about losing weight, and get it done...
