And we're off

Ok day one. How many day ones have their been?? So I got on the scale....210.8 BLAH. That is horrible. H O R R I B L E. How could I let myself get that way??

On a good note, I pulled out all my credit cards. I would pull my debit card as well but I dont' know my pin so I need that for Gas........

First Major Goal - Get to 199.8 which means lots of water. Better start now.

To Save Myself

Ok so I am starting this blog to motivate myself. I always start off with good intentions and have yet to fully finish something. My goal by starting this blog is to accomplish those goals...you know those small ones that are everyone has - spend less money and lose more weight. So do I have a precise plan?? No. But I need to start somewhere and be able to track my progress and set small steps.


So...


I am taking out my credit cards. No need to use them. I am starting if it's not edible or a necessity such as toilet paper than I do not need it. So no good deals on clothes or new scale I don't need to track how much water I'm retaining.


My weight HA that's another story. I'm now (30) and metabolism is not in my vocabulary. So I am starting small. Giving up to one diet pop a day and drinking in all my water. And moving. I am one of all those all or nothing people. If I dont' workout for a full blown hour at least then I dont' work out. And since my gym closed (thanks a lot Powerhouse) I have no choice but to take advantage of Mother Nature while it cooperates so I plan to walk at least 5 days a week.



Ok so no credit cards - no purchases - no diet pop - and walking. I can do that....
