So I am now making quite a bit of progress. I had slacked off for a few weeks, but I picked myself back up when I realized how much weight I was gaining. For my own personal comfort I was getting too close to 300 pounds and thats when I realized I had to get really serious.
One of my best friends is a dancer and a sports medicine major and she is really into health and exercise. I started walking a mile everyday with her and her mom. On top of that I've been walking abou 10 to 15 minutes on the treadmill. I started this week with the kick up in exercise. There is so much diet advice out there and I wanted something I could actually stick to. I was watching the Tyra Banks Show and she did a whole episode on getting healthy with the foods you eat and making them practicle and not something so hard to do. A great snack I learned about was the fiber crackers. Themselves they aren't tasty, but you can add turkey meat and cheese and they are awesome. They say you can also have them with fruit, but I have yet to try that. I even had yogurt for breakfast which was new since I am not the biggest yogurt fan, but it shockingly kept me pretty satisfied.
With kicking myself into gear and being serious I have lost about 2 pounds and I'm very proud of myself, but there will be no treating myself only working harder.
Shannon I hope you are doing good also! We will have to catch up after Wrockstock, which I won't be at :(
