Side Notes and comments:

I am changing my rewards and punishments...
Reward: green paint for the kitchen/play room. And the bonus here? All the exercise I will get by painting.
Punishment: waking up early everyday to do the elliptical (since it should be in the house by the end of the month). And this is in addition to my plan of 3 nights/week on the elliptical.

Also, Thanks to a great friend of mine donating use of her Weight Watchers account I can now use their Points Plus program. Obvioulsy I know my eating habits are bad. Now I will have the help of the program to help me. :) Yesterday was an eye opener for me as I went over my points for the day. Now I need to work on keeping that in check. I will work on my eating this month. Then at the end of the month I will have the elliptical and ab machine set up and I SHOULD be able to add in the exercise piece. I am mostly going to focus on the healthier eating for now.

A weeks worth

I need to get better at updating daily. But for now...

The Beginning

So here it is. My weight loss blog. Started to help me on my journey. It will serve as my food diary, exercise tracker and a place for me to post weight and measurments. It will also be where I post my goals and celebrate my accomplishments. If you are along for the ride I am glad you choose to help cheer me on.
And away we go...

Goal: 130lbs in a year = 11 lbs a month
Start: 7/27/11 End:7/27/12

Weight: 266
Height: 5 foot 1 inch
Bust: 50 inches
Waist: 50 1/4 inches
Hips: 57 3/4 inches
Pants size: 24
Bra size: 48DD (the last time I bought a bra was 2008 so this may have changed) (and geeze, maybe I should go bra shopping!)

First month goal 11 lbs:

Punishment: Hmmm... I want it to be to meet Steve to swim laps since I really DON'T want him to see me in a swimsuit anytime soon. BUT I would want it to be at a public pool and not his private pool. With the public pools closed for the season I haven't figured this one out yet. Maybe book at room at a Marriott and use their pool? What a waste of money to have a room just to use the pool. Hmmm... ideas?
Reward: meet Steve at a café for coffee or lunch

Food Diary:

Breakfast: Everything bagel with cream cheese
Snack: Trail mix: peanuts, M&Ms, raisins, peanut butter chips
Lunch: Peanut Butter and strawberry jam sandwich and an apple
Snack: trail mix and beef jerkey
Dinner: Spaghetti, salad, bread and butter, banana cream pie

Exercise:

Took the kids swimming. Got a few laps in inbetween playing with them. Did a lot of tossing the kids and chasing them down. Cop out? Kinda feels that way. Oh well, tomorrow I pick up my new elliptical. :)
