Weight Loss Wednesday: Excuses & Kitty Pic

     Well my first documented week has been a dud.  In my defense I've had a couple of bombs dropped, a family friend died, I've gotten the stomach flu and because it was J's birthday this past week, I've had a nice sized Randazzo's King Cake calling my name all week.

   Okay so here's what I've done to help myself along in my goal:

1.  I choose to do a 10 min. workout once this week.
2.  I forced myself to drink a glass of water for four of the past six days.
3.  I divided my steak and baked potato dinner in half instead of scarfing down the whole thing.
4.  I only ate eight raw oysters on .25 cent oyster night instead of the full dozen.  (I'm not sure that raw
     oysters have a whole lot of calories, but in my defense they weren't fried, or charbroiled)

Weight lost:   None, (Okay really?!  I mean I had the stomach flu for pity's sake!  Grrrr.), on the other hand I didn't gain any weight either.

  Sigh.  Baby steps.

Weight Loss Wednesday on Thursday

I know, I know, everyone and his brother have done the New Year's resolution thing, but FYI this is not a New Year's thing.  Actually I started at the beginning of December so HA, end of year resolution!

Anyways I'm just sick and tired of being fat, feeling lazy and slow.  Some people like being large, and I like that; it's really awesome actually.  It's just I don't feel 100% at this weight.  So I decided to do something about it.  In baby steps.

This is my chunka munka self.
I'm still feeling a bit shy about putting my face up, but maybe one day I'll get brave.

So here's the basic plan:

1.  Drink more water.
2.  Exercise.
3.  Change some eating habits.

I've decided to add this to my blog to keep me honest.  I'm going to try and consistently put my epic struggle on here every Wednesday, (oh Gawd that means I have to be responsible and make a commitment).  Yeah it's an epic struggle, me drinking water and forcing myself to exercise are near miracles.  Believe it or not the eating habit thing isn't such an epic struggle.  I hope to have lost twenty pounds by June.  Is that reasonable?  Hope so.

Okay hitting, "publish post" with much trepidation...
