I am now at my new job and really happy with the switch I made. This is my third week there and I am proud to say that only once did I buy my lunch (and even avoided the more junky stuff by having a turkey sandwich). They have cardio classes at lunch and I had planned to start yesterday, but it was cancelled. So, tomorrow has become Day 1. And what class will I be taking? Boot Camp! I am ready to feel the burn...and to walk around like an old woman all weekend long ~ lol.
I weighed myself quite some time ago and the heaviest I was ended up being 218.1lbs. Yikes! So I decided that if I am going to start exercising, I want to know what my starting weight is. I weighed myself last night and came in at 215.2lbs. I think that paying more attention to my food the past 3 weeks has helped. There is also a water cooler at my disposal at work and I make sure I drink plenty of water during the day. This keeps me from consuming more calories than I really need. I am pleased with the fact that I am heading in the right direction despite a hiccup of gaining. This kind of journey is not always perfect and I know that. I would be more worried if I continued to go up, but I am now heading back down, so will continue to do things that will help that trend to be the rule (rather than the exception).
Here's to FINALLY starting the journey I was hoping to engage in this year!
