Hi Everyone!
I'm getting ready to take my first cruise
and I want to look good.
According to my Days Until app on my phone I have 101 days until boarding and that should be more than enough time to make a change.
Now I'm going to tell you all something that not many people know.
This is hard but you know what life isn't always easy.
Know I now you are wondering what is she talking about? Well I'm about to tell you how much I weigh. I know .... but I think I have to. How do I expect to change if I can't be held accountable? I need to face reality and reality is I'm overweight. Not just overweight but obese. I am ... wait for it ... 274 lbs.
Woo that was hard and kind of freeing. Keep in mind as I type this I still haven't hit the submit button.
But you know what it's ok because this is the last time I will see that number and be unhappy.
Ok so what is the plan you ask .. well the next 11 days will be my start up time. Starting tomorrow mainly because it is 11:30 at night now I will begin my daily treadmill workouts. Why treadmill? Well I recently left work due to a work injury and literally cannot lift any weights. Doctors orders! I even have to wear those yucky arm, wrist, hand supports (not sure what there called but they don't seem to help at all... even after 8 months). So right now walking and hopefully move into running or at least jogging.
Warm Up Week (Days 1-5)
3 miles a day min.
Warm Up Week (Days 6-10)
4 miles a day min.
Everyday I'll post a workout update and at my 90 days I'll post a weight update ... again still a little scary.
I welcome any encouragement and comments you have to offer and would love to have you join me if you are in the same boat.
