Baby Steps

Baby steps.

That's how you make changes. One little step at a time. It's the same principal for how I've been dealing with my bf's deployment- each day is one day closer to seeing him as opposed to one more day without him.

I want to make a change in my life. I want to lose weight. I like being a big girl- a girl without curves is like jeans without pockets, you don't know where to put your hands. But I want to be healthy. I want to be a healthy weight, or at the very least be healthier. My blood pressure is a bit hard to control. I only recently got it down but I'm afraid it will go back up. I changed birth control and my new pill might make it go back up. So I need to work to keep it down. So losing weight and being healthier is one way.

I've decided to focus more on the physical aspect first. I don't make quite enough money to buy healthy, fresh food frequently (ALLITERATION!). So I'll start with counting calories so that I don't eat more than I need. I'm going to aim for 1,800 a day and limit sodium intake.

Next, I want to be active in some way for at least ten minutes a day for the next two weeks. I think that's a good start- Mondays and Wednesdays are already covered (swing dancing). :)

These are my baby steps. I'll report in tomorrow and we shall see what becomes of it. My bf said that if I can get to a 12 minute mile (I suck at running) before he gets back that we'll go on a cruise. I'm gonna argue for Disney Land for when we go on our little road trip. Anyways, I gotta work up to it!

This is my super awesome system for motivating myself. I like counting things down obsessively. Each stone is for one pound, each star is for ten pounds, and the disco ball is for my goal of getting to 150 pounds.

you really are beautiful. and "fat" is in the eye of the beholder, and an opinion of our society. If there are health issues it may be of concern. If not, you may be healthier than your skinny friends - anorexia, bulimia & discontent plague skinny people. That is TRUly unhealthy- you rack you organs, tear your esophagus, weaken your heart & it controls your life. Please please don't ever go that route to get thinner. And when you're older - skinny people are not as attractive esp. in the face. Now - ugly people, deformed people, people with skin problems; any of the physical things - we may still be beautiful on the inside. If we have a friend that only loves us for our physical outside suit; those are not really friends worth having. It is difficult in this life not to "fit the mold" of beauty in our society. But look at it this way. If it is so important to others to look the right way, and can't see past our "suits" to see the beauty of us inside, it is THEIR loss. Right? you are perfection whether others see it or not

Thank you. :) I could never go those destructive routes- I want to get healthier more than I want anything. I love the name you used- we are not just our bodies. We are so much more than that- it's who we ARE that is what is important.
