Well I decided to write down some of my experiences as I work on losing weight,but more than the weight, I want to feel better. I became tired and sadden of my reflection, ill fitting clothes, and generally being uncomfortable. To be able to see more clearly on my why's on what I've been doing (or not doing) to get to this place, writing them down, reading my post may help me better understand my own story.I welcome remarks, call me on my excuses, I would enjoy working on this together.
To start, I let my trials get to me. A job I was good at, but worked in environments of condemnation and backstabbing,. Family heath concerns
Easy to say change, but needing paychecks to support the family I know - blah, blah blah. So starts my new beginnings. New career path, it has not started with gangbusters, economics in the way. I am still pushing through though. Family is also on the path to health.
I see that I need to not only work on my body, but my attitude and not turning to food. Happiness and finding joy is my choice. Many things that we enjoy do cost money, but the small moments of joy, laughing with your loved ones, reading with grandbabies brings us true happiness. Many moments of joy that add up to a bucket full of true happiness. Use this bucket to wash away your sadness and frustration.
So here starts my path. I using the LoseIt app to track my food and exercise. This also brings people together to review and encourage their progress.
Since the 1st of Janurary I have lost 10 lbs. on my road to lose 100 lbs.. I heard of a visual aidd to place the amount of marbles in a jar or glass, as you lose weight, take out 1 marble per pound. I like that and I've been able to remove 10 marbles.
