One day down....

Well I made it through my first day of this diet competition. Yee Haw!!! It really helped to have such supportive friends around me. Even the ones competing against me. I didn't reach my goal for water, but I did get at least 2 bottles down. I didn't get to do any sort of exercise either because my day was just too packed. But I did fabulous with the eating and I am totally proud of myself! Tomorrow I will have to make more of an effort on water. I signed up for a really cool website called Nutrimirror. It helps you track your food, water, and exercise. It also has alot of support type stuff that I've yet to use. It's a free site so that's even better!!
Tomorrow is a new day......

I don't

1. I don't have any will power when it comes to food and money!
2. I don't like judgemental people
3. I don't do mornings
4. I don't drink milk
5. I don't drive the speed limit
6. I don't take compliments easily
7. I don't like public speaking
8. I don't like to exercise even though I MUST!
9. I don't want my kids to grow up so fast
10. I don't know how to use the link thingy so you'll have to visit Jenna over @ Jenna's Journey to participate in this.....guess I should add that I don't really know how to blog! HA HA!

Battle of the bulge!

So tomorrow a bunch of girls at work are starting a weight loss competition. Each of us will put in $20.00 and whoever loses the most weight in the next four weeks wins all of the money. I decided to blog this to somewhat keep myself honest, but mostly to make myself aware of what I'm eating and how much I'm exercising. I've decided I will commit to drinking 64 ounces of water a day; doing at least 30 minutes of some sort of physical activity; and keeping my calories below 1400-1500 a day. I'm going to try the low carb thing. After we weigh in tomorrow I will post my weight on here. YIKES!!!! I have never admitted my weight to anyone! Hopefully letting that out of the bag will further motivate me to get the fat off and keep it off!!! Wish me luck!! Any good weight loss suggestions???
