Day 1 cont...

Post workout:


Well, day 1 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! 

First, I'd like to put my goals out here in print so I'm actually acountable.  I'm trying things different this time around.  I've never written everything down.  I've also never given myself small little goals and prizes when I've met those goals.  I'd like to try it....

Starting weight:  lol, did you really think I'd put that up?  I'm honest, but even I've got my limits!
Total weight to lose: 60 pounds
First small weight loss goal: 10 lbs
First small goal check in: 3 weeks (January 24th)
First small goal prize: ? You guys help me decide!

I figure by doing it this way, I give myself small amounts of weight to lose in a time frame that is realistic and hopefully I won't get discouraged.  Generally, I'm a "want to lose it fast" kinda girl, and if I don't lose a considerable amount of weight quickly, I get discouraged.  I'm hoping to prevent that this time around!

My workout says to walk 12-15 minutes today, which I had every intention of doing this evening once Jt got home.... That was until he called me at 7:00 p.m.(he went out to my parent's house to feed after school) to inform me that one of our show pigs had stressed and collapsed.  He was trying to get her up and walking again and trying to comfort our 9 year old, whom was walking her at the time.... (she's doing much better now, just in case you're curious)  He didn't get home until almost 8 and by that time it's REALLY dark out here where I live.  I was going to chicken and not do it and just do double tomorrow, but.... I pulled out my Wii Fit Plus.  I walked and did some boxing and yoga for 20 minutes and honestly, I feel great! 

On a side note, how many of you are irked by the noise the balance board makes when you get on to weigh?  I mean really?  And is it really necessary to make the Mii fatter if you've gained a couple of pounds?  Grrrrr!  Nothing like a little motivation from a video game!

Well, I hope all of you are sticking to your resolutions!  Good luck and let me know how you're doing!
