Day One

I started losing weight as of January 2012, when I realized I had reached a total of 322 pounds.  I couldn't believe I had let myself get so overweight!  My hubs and I both started losing weight and as of August, were down a little over 25 pounds!  We went on vacation and I gained about 5 pounds, but I'm back down now.

I plan to weigh myself weekly, to exercise daily, to eat a healthy diet, to curb my emotional eating habits, to drink more water, to smoke less cigarettes,

ALL

to be able to shop in normal stores,
to wear a bikini someday,
to not feel as if family or friends are judging what I'm eating,
to get my belly button pierced,
to get a tattoo on skin I know won't be saggy or funny looking,
to be able to have sex against a wall with J,
to feel sexy in bed or in lingerie,
to be comfortable in an airplane seat,
to not have to wear a seatbelt extender,
to KNOW that I'm attractive to J,
TO FEEL ATTRACTIVE TO ME!!!

Every day, I'm going to fill out a template to use this blog as my journal, that I'll update throughout the day.
Calories eaten: 2651 (WAY too many!)
Cups of water: 13
Cigarettes smoked: 3
Exercise: 1269 calories burned on the elliptical; help make up for overeating.  I'll do better tomorrow!
Basic Metabolic Rate: Approximately 2400 calories
That's a calorie deficit of:  1018 calories burned
Thoughts for today:
       I'm so excited that I'm starting this blog.  I've been slacking for awhile lately and my weight's just been hovering and I'm tired of it.   It'll be great seeing the progress I know I'll be making, and even better having this blog to motivate me.
