Monday, I decided it was time. Time to stop being lazy. Stop playing computer games and watching TV. It was time to start exercising. Since I haven't done an actual "work-out" since high school (HOLY COW - 8 years ago), I needed to start small. My theory is any movement will be an improvement. So I powered up our Wii, put in the Wii Fit disc, and then realized the wii remotes haven't been charged in a long time and the Wii Balance board's batteries were dead. I nearly said "oh well, this must be a sign... right?" but I didn't. I plugged in the wii remotes, and went on a mission to find batteries. Replaced them and grabbed a remote in hopes it could last for the mere 20 minutes I planned on doing anything. I erased my old character and started over. I got on there and got my starting weight. Which I really don't want to say out loud because its a huge number. But I will, I'll say it here. I'll say it because now only 3 days later I have hope that I can stick to it, and eat healthy-ish, and continue to lose weight.
Monday, I weighed 178lbs. I have weighed 178lbs since 3 months after having Keira. Granted when I was pregnant with her at the end I was just over 200lbs. But through the holidays, I managed to stay at the same weight... which is impressive to me, because I love the holiday food and fill myself to the gills!
So Tuesday, I got on that silly balance board and got my weight = 176lbs.
Wha? I lost 2 lbs in ONE day? Is that possible? Is that healthy? It can't be - It just can't be.
Today, I got on it again (yes 3 days in a row - and I plan to do it everyday at least Monday through Friday)... my weight = 173 lbs. SERIOUSLY?!
3 days and I've lost 5lbs.
Well then - lets keep our fingers crossed that this keeps up, because my goal is to be down to 150 lbs. I don't have a time-line. I would just like to be down to that at least at some point. And stay around that. I think technically for my height I shouldn't weigh over 120 lbs. But realistically? I'd be ridiculously tiny at 120 lbs. And its just an unrealistic goal, unless I completely change my diet - and I think that is nuts. Food makes me happy. Cooking it, Eating it, Sharing Recipes, Grocery Shopping - these things make me happy! So if I have to sacrifice a few pounds to make myself happy and not suffer through eating gross foods - I'll do it! Dropping Pepsi as it is, for me, is pretty impossible. Seems silly to make everyone around me suffer through my crabbiness, and make myself suffer. I still want to cut down to 1 a day - which I am close. I'm at about 1 and 1/2. I also need to make a conscious effort to drink more water, and maybe a glass of OJ a day. I'm officially drinking a big glass (12oz-ish) of milk a day... That's a big deal for me, I have NEVER been a milk drinker.
Time for lunch now - and I really have no idea what to make. Maybe tuna salad... or turkey salad... or turkey sandwich. Hmmmmm.... oh boy - and what to make for dinner tonight! Dilemmas!
