I am starting a new interval training program this week.  I managed to do the first in the series this morning and it totally kicked my bootox! The part I did like was just when I thought I was going to die....It was OVER! OK. I loved that part. Yes, you heard me when it was over. HAHAHAHA!  It became painfully and vividly aware to me that I am way out of shape! Just my size alone prevented me from doing some of the exercises completely correct but ya know what?? I still did it and I finished.  I am going to do it again on Wed and I am going to keep doing it until it becomes easier. (BTW it is a 3 day a week program. MWF) I intend on doing my deep breathing exercises every day and will stick to my original plan for my food intake. I wanted to take care of this problem before the engagement of the most cute daughter and now I do even more.  Talk about Motivation!  Who wants to be immortalized for the generations like I am now?   Wish me luck! I am going to need it! 

I have been exercising (walking on a treadmill) since Aug 1, 5 days a week.  With. out. fail.  Hoping to lose weight.  I have had several people who have been there and done it, tell me wait until the 6 month mark.  "It will start melting off"  Well, I have until March 1 to see, and I will continue, BUT it gets frustrating!! I have tried LOTS of diets and programs in the past.  It seemed to me that common denominator with each program is burning more calories than you take it.  I am out to prove to myself that IF I burn enough calories I can have all the freedom I need in the food dept. AND be happy.  Is it better to be thin and miserable? NO.  Not for me it isn't.  Here is my "plan"   1 increase water intake (we have stopped buying soda for the house except for special occasions. BIG CHANGE for me) 2. get enough sleep (easier said than done in my home) 3. really listen to my body. If it is not asking for food do not feed it and if it is satisfied stop eating.
