I really did move it move it :)

Well a lot has happened since my last entry here. So let me catch everyone up to date.

Bruce, Kody and I on a spree of the moment packed up a U-Haul truck and moved back to Las Vegas, Nevada. We arrived late Wednesday, May 19, and moved into our new apartment on Thursday, May 20. The following Monday I had a job interview and was called back and hired within a couple of hours of leaving the business. I started my new WONDERFUL job and my new weight loss adventure on Monday, June 1. My starting weight was 298 pounds.

I really haven't been weighing myself but I could tell I was losing weight because the nursing scrubs I bought when I started my new job are now beginning to fall off of me. So today I finally decided to get on the scale and to my amazement I discovered I have officially lost 25 pounds (273). I have planned to step up my exercise starting tomorrow and plan to do a weekly weigh in on Mondays (but we all know how that goes).

So tomorrow is the start of another week. Another week of challenges to stay on track. Stay tuned here to see what my new week brings.

I got to move it move it!!

Well it has been a while since I updated my blog. Sorry I get like that sometimes, I will try to do better. Today I am officially 10 days caffeine/pepsi free and its my second day of my new exercise routine. I am making a real attempt at getting back on track with getting my health back.

Kody and I have walked around the city block the past two morning. It really isn't that bad and he enjoys chasing the birds, cats and whatever other small random creatures crosses our path. I will not say I enjoy it as of yet but I have made a conscious decision to start. I hope after a week of this I can start twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

The next step is going to pay the fee to get access to the on site workout room here where we live. I am glad we have a workout room on property because I will be more likely to use it since it is so close. I can go throw some clothes in the wash which is right next door and then exercise for 30 minutes while they wash and then put them in the dryer and do the same.

Well that is about it for now. We are under a winter storm warning and expecting rain today (snow above 7000 feet). I will be happy when it starts I just love the rain.

Happy January 1, 2010

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you had a great holiday season and you are ready to embrace a new year and new decade. 2010 presents a fresh new year with three hundred and sixty-five days full of possibilities. When you look at the clean slate it presents, it’s only natural to resolve to make the most of the opportunities to come.

This year I hope to achieve the following goals.

• I’m going to be the best, loving, supportive partner that I can be for my wonderful husband and love of my life Bruce.

• I’m going to surround myself with positive people. Toxic people have no place in my life and I will not let them in, whether they are blood relations or not.

• I'm going to do what makes me happy, not what others believe I should do.

• I’m going to join a gym (again) and start going at least 3 times a week.

• I’m going to start buying healthier food (again).

• I’m going to get as close to my goal weight as possible in a safe and healthy way.

• I’m going to increase my fitness levels so I can have a great time exploring Arizona with my wonderful husband Bruce. There is so much to see and do.

• I’m going to go back to school to better myself for a more secure future.

• I’m going to take a photography class. I love photography and would like to learn all about it.

I'm feeling hopeful that my life is headed in the right direction. Moving forward I accept that I may occasionally falter in my journey. I know it will be very difficult, but I also know it will be worth it.
