So far so good...

So I have started the week out on a good foot by getting up at 5 AM and working out this morning. Back when I was fit and trim several years ago I used to do well with working out in the morning versus the evening. I am also hoping that working out in the morning will also help kick start my metabolism again. Jess & I are so excited to be able to do this together, I think we will make a good team even though we don't have the opportunity to cheer each other on in person.

Well today is the day I vow to start this journey and make changes in my life to lose weight and get healthy. It is time (far past time actually) for me to be facing this head on. As I look at my "before" pic plastered on our spaces page I am filled with so many emotions - I am embarrassed, ashamed, and disappointed with myself for just letting myself go like this. I have not always been this "plump" and I faintly remember what is was like when I was healthy and thinner. But to see this picture is good for me I think, I had refused to take a pic like that in the past when I "said" I was going to do something about my weight. This time is different though - I am fed up with my weight and appearance and I really want to do something about it.
