Today is D-Day.
I have got to do something. If I don't, I will die. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But I am hastening that day.
I am tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I am tired of feeling sluggish. I am tired of feeling self-conscious. I am tired of feeling limited. I am tired of feeling tired.
So today is D-Day.
So I am making these resolutions:
1. I will use a smaller plate.
2. I will chew more.
3. I will not clean my plate.
4. I will use chopsticks. Well, maybe not - but I will make a conscious effort to slow down.
5. I will drink water.
Plus I will exercise. And I will do my ankle exercises twice daily.
Who will be my task master?

Epic Fail!
Well, we all know what they say about good intentions..... I have failed miserably with my New Year's resolution to get back into shape. I could blame it on the copious quantities of snow, or the cold or the darkness. Shoot! I could find a hundred ways to rationalize my inactivity, but I won't. I've been lazy. End of story!
After struggling to zip the last pants I bought (because everything else was too tight) I had an epiphany. If I don't DO something, it's only going to get worse. At that point, I set my sights on March. Despite the dread I felt, I hauled my large arse to the gym after work Monday. I also hauled it to the gym on Tuesday. One day at a time.....
The gym scales confirmed my fears, and I am at the highest non-pregnancy weight I have ever been. Perhaps this was the kick in the pants I needed. Numerical PROOF.
I'm not limiting myself to the South Beach diet just yet, but I am packing my lunch, and eating smaller portions at dinner. I'm also forcing myself to drink an entire bottle of water each day BEFORE I allow myself to drink my Diet Mt. Dew. I can't believe how much you have to pee when you drink so much water!!!! That's a GOOD thing, right??!!
How is everyone else doing? Let's get this site rolling again......spring is on the way:)
