Weight Loss Journey

Well awhile back I let all of you know that I was going to start exercising and eating healthy. I have been very committed to doing this so after talking with a friend I decided to go ahead and purchase some exercise equipment because I have never really liked going to a gym and I knew that I wouldn't in the future either. So over the weekend I went and purchased a treadmill and I have ordered a small version of an elliptical. That is just like a normal one except it doesn't have the arm thingys. I also downloaded a personal tracker on my phone so I keep track of all my exercising and food intake. I knew I could stay committed to exercising but I wasn't so sure I would be able to track all my eating but I actually really like it. It has my calorie intake at 1690 per day. It is actually a challenge for me because I go on it every time I eat or drink and I watch my calories. As most of you know I don't like to be beat at anything so my big challenge is to stay under in calories but still eat healthy.  I know that it has only been 4 days since I started but I am so happy with my progress that I want to share. I have been under in my calorie intake and I have been eating a lot of veggies and fruits. Fruits have never been a problem for me but veggies have. I actually find myself liking them and wondering why I haven't done this before now. I have also committed myself to walking 1 mile a night and once I'm more comfortable I will do more. I have met this challenge as well. I will keep everyone updated on this journey as I know at some point I will need as much support as possible.

  1. Good job! Keep up the good work. Once you start seeing results, it will become easier and eventually will just be habit to eat well and exercise
