I look forward to tomorrow, It's a new year! What will it bring? I'm not usually one of those people that make new year's resolutions, and I don't think I'm going to start now. But, I'm using the new year as a starting point to get me motivated to take good care of myself.
I'm looking forward to getting more exercise, I love to exercise, always feel so much happier after a good walk or work out! Anyone want to walk with me? I walk down at Lake Hodges with my dog Nari, sometimes I go over to Kit Carson Park and then there are days I'll go to Felicita Park. Today I started down to Kit Carson, wanted to take some pictures of the birds on the pond, but half way there, Nari puked in my car, YUCK! I made a U-turn and took her home. But I still made it down to Hodges for a bit of picture taking. With Hope doing her own driving, my schedule is pretty flexible, so call me if you want to do a spontaneous walk!
Tomorrow I'm going to drag the scale back into my bathroom, I took it out a while back, but I think I need the daily reminder. I'm going to measure myself, you know all the places that my fat likes to store it's self. I've read and been told not to care what the scale says, it's the measurements that count. Muscle weighs more than fat! I'm going to use a pair jeans that are way to tight right now as my biggest measuring stick!
This would be a good time to say a prayer for me and yourself if you decide to join me!
Love you all!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
