Just Stick With It...

I found this awesome quote that made my day so I thought I would share it....

New Beginnings

Hello- Welcome to my blog, my journey through dieting and weight loss.  I am a little late to the game because my journey started March 14^th after I had my annual doctor’s appointment.  That appointment changed my life forever, I wasn't happy with any of my results including blood tests.  My doctor and I discussed diets and what I can/should do.  The biggest advantage I have is my age,   I recently turned 30 so the good news is that I can turn this around. 

When I started this journey, I could hardly walk a mile without getting tired and now three weeks later I can walk 5/6 miles without any harm.  That just proved to me that I can do this and I will do this.  So far, since I started, I have lost 9 pounds with simply eating right and exercising every day.  I have been actively using the LoseIt app to log my food and exercising daily.  I also have a fitbit which tracks the number of steps and stairs I climb.  I contribute my 9 pound weight loss to these two items especially my fitbit.  It gives me the motivation to reach my goal of 10,000 steps per day. 

Don’t get me wrong, I have my days when I get depressed and wonder why this all happened and I just want to grab a cookie from the jar but that’s when I rely heavily on my husband to provide me with love and support.  Bless his heart, he has been eating my leafy greens with me.  I have to remind myself of what Dory from Finding Nemo said I have to “just keep swimming” hence the title of my blog J. 

I decided to start this blog in order to document my progress and keep track of my accomplishments.  One day when I reach my goal, maybe I would like to look back remember my journey, maybe not.
