• Total down 7.1 lb
• Current weight 201.4lb

Brenda

• Down 2 lb

Thought these numbers do not seem very big after one month. If we look at it like - if I can lose this same amount each month I will lose 70 - 90 pounds in ten months. That make it seem a lot less daunting.

Food plan

I am having problems sticking to the calorie count that my fitness plan has set for me. It has set my calorie count at 1290. I  am  not sure if this is possible for me to keep every day. I will try  however even my dietitian said around 1500 cal would be good.  Considering I probably ate a great deal more than 1500 cal a day before. I just have to keep trying. Any weight loss is good and to keep it it off is my real aim.

Mussels

Last night was the first time my mussels were sore. I'll take it that my mussels being sore means  the exercise is working. That's  good maybe my belly will get smaller I am really hopping so.  Hope it won't mean a saggy belly. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Not as tough

These exercises must be paying off, it wasn't as hard today. This makes me happy. Who would have thought that exercise would make me feel that way. Not me in a million years.

Happy

I am so happy to be working on my weight loss.  The exercise is not always easy but I know it helps to me to keep healthy.  I need to keep in mind this is a life  long process not just a weight loss  diet.
Like they say in AA it is one day at a time,  some times moment by moment.
Thanks  Brenda for creating this blog and asking us to work together to lose weight and support one another in the process . I know it will be a blessing to all of us as we work together.

Just finished our work out

I hope I did not complain as much to day.  Hope fully I will get better at not saying negative   words.
Exercising was not as bad as it could have been. I  only feel a little ake in my middle. Of corse that's were a lot of fat sits. Hopefully not of to much longer.
Eventually  there will come a day when I lookin the mirror and will see the results of  all the hard work ahead.
Looking forward to just walking to morrow.

Awakening

Hopefully this is going to work or maybe I need a new brain ?  Maybe it is because I just don' have enough computer experience. Hopfully that is it.
Now to get on with the real issue. Yesterday was a real awaking to just how out of shape I am.  You talk about feeling  old  well  did I really feel it . However  Brenda had to hear all my compling. Next time Iwill have to keep my complaints to myself .  Eating hasn't been to bad so far  however it is just the beginning .
Trying to Rember it is a long process  meaning life style change and not just temporey this is along term process
I must Rember to keep a smile on my face and hope in my spirit.
