Ok, that’s supposed to be potato, but it wouldn’t make sense with my chosen theme at the moment!
I’ve had many attempts at maintaining blogs, losses, and even just weight loss attempts, but none have been successful or I wouldn’t be here now, starting anew at many different things.
Well, the blog doesn’t mark the beginning of a weight loss attempt – I’ve been at it since January this year, with 18 pounds gone to show for it. I struggle with not being disappointed at the relative lack of progress (18 pounds in nearly 6 months?), but overall I know I’m doing good things even if the scale doesn’t love me regularly. It’s ok.
A little about me before we begin: I’m 24 (25 in 2 months!), been married almost a year, have two senior kitties, and am following Weight Watchers. My primary form of exercise is… hm… sitting in front of the computer. I’m not too great about regular exercise but am going to start making a concerted effort. I realized not too long ago that one reason I was afraid to really go for regular exercise is that I was worried I wouldn’t see a loss on the scale if I started building muscle… Yeah, that makes sense. Talk about thinking short-term. So since I’m not seeing losses every week anyway, what’s stopping me now? I’m finding I really do love running, even though I’m not great at it yet, and I’m working up my endurance to surpass my current 3 minutes at a time status. Otherwise I do Turbo Jam workouts in my living room, or DDR, which scares the crap out of my cats.
That’s it for beginnings… Now on with the journey!
