You guessed it, with banana in hand, I am writing my first post. If I am to offer you any disclaimer to accompany this blog, it would be that I am a blogging virgin. In fact, I've never really followed many blogs other than the blogs that my FB friends have. With what little time I have spent in the blogging world I have learned that it is best to have a blogging purpose. A reason to blog, a topic, a mission, a goal if you wish. Not too hard, I definitely have a goal this summer. GET FIT! My health and weight has always been a struggle. This past year has been a real challenge working two jobs. 65 hours a week in the office does not leave much room for a healthy diet and exercise. Convenience has trumped health for entirely too long.
With that said, two summers ago I started what turned out to be a very successful weight loss summer. The key for me was aerobics and counting calories. I lost 43 lbs in a little over 3 months. Sadly, I gained all of the weight back over the past 2 years. Why? I'd say I turned in to "happy hips". I met my husband and became comfortable and happy. Therefore, I lost focus on all the hard work I had put in and put it all back on. My plan is to count calories (yet again) and get in as much aerobic activity as possible. I will focus on toning as well, but for now I want to get the weight off. I can work on the six pack later. I will be posting my daily menu, calories included. I will offer any advice and tips that I think of along the way for my fellow weight loss hopefuls. I have no doubt that I can do this. The most reassuring fact is that I have been successful at it before.
