I Guess a Treadmill is Made for Something Besides Storage!

It is on PEOPLE! It is official. Since winter weather has come to an end for now, I am out of luck. No more wearing bulky sweaters and coats to hide the excess "ring" around my middle. Frustrating when you truly feel you have nothing to wear, because nothing fits right.

So, yours truly has decided to once again try to loose the extra few pounds that seem to want to stay around. I have tried about every diet under the sun, and do well on most, as long as I stick to it. However, there are a few side affects here and there that leave me jumping off the healthy train a little too early. For example, the eating no carbs, helped me loose the weight FAST, but after a few weeks, diarrhea became too common of an occurrence for my liking. I also can't eat nuts or chocolate, so that leaves out a lot of the protein bars and shakes.

I've decided to just do it the old fashion way. Keep track of the calories, eat more fruits and veggies, limit my "white" carbs to rewards and just try to eat more healthy. We shall see where this all goes...

Actually, I am announcing my plan to the world, because I need the motivation to keep plugging along. So, every week I am going to mention how I am doing, to help keep me accountable and motivated. So if you have any great suggestions for low calorie snacks or meals or exercises for a nonathletic, "I HATE ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU SWEAT," gal like me, comment loud and proud, for I can use all the help I can get.

But here is the real humdinger... I am going to TRY to make myself exercise everyday for at least thirty minutes. (My sister has passed out from shock right now, I know.) I have seriously decided I want to get moving a little. So, to get started, I guess I will have to clean this off...

and move this out...

Yep! After I get a movin', the only problem I will hopefully have, is "WHERE TO PUT THE JUNK!" :) Just keeping it real, sorry you had to witness this, but unfortunately the exercise equipment is in my "junk room." We are once again working on cleaning the room up...

Wish me luck, say a prayer and even consider joining me. Summer is not too far around the corner. Oh, I have to be honest... I can't make myself tell my starting weight. Maybe one day... for now I will just let you know how much I lose as I go.

Want to come along?

On a side note, PLEASE say a special prayer for my Mother-in-law. She starts her radiation treatments tomorrow. Last time she didn't get sick, we are hoping for the same this time. Also pray for my Father-in-law, for her treatments are 45 minutes away in the next town. It will get tiring traveling back and forth everyday. Eventually, my hubby and others will help drive, but for this week he is going to do it for sure. Thanks for keeping them and our family in your prayers.

Hope you had a beautiful day!
