Drumroll....
We have the official starting weight! It's 251. So, if I reach my goal of losing 100 lbs this year, I still will be about 20-25 lbs from my "ideal" weight. But hey - something to do next year, right? Nathan, who joined me at the gym tonight (yay!) is checking in at about the same. The VERY BEST PART about trying to lose weight is when you have someone in your house who is doing the same thing. That way, we can support one another all the way. I made us a wonderfully healthy breakfast this morning, and will be doing the same thing every morning. My new plan is to shower at night, so that's one less thing for me to worry about in the morning. I think it's going to make it easier to stick to this, and NEVER ever ever skip breakfast. I ate two small meals at work, plus a protein shake right before working out, and I felt satisfied all day. Sliced grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli for supper, plus some power-shopping at Wal-mart, and I'm about ready to call it a night.
One month from today I will weigh in again and let you know what the results are. I'm so excited about my new lifestyle. I think it really just took me looking in the mirror at myself and going, "okay, come on. You're better than this."
Well, I'm off to get a nice warm shower and then some much needed rest. Catch you on the flip side!
