Back at it!

So here is the old me...in all my 257 lbs. glory!!

 I know this is answering the question we were all asking...so just how chunky is this chick??  Well lets be honest...it ain't so hot!!!    This picture was taken on a family vacation to the Bahamas, and I love the no parking sign on the porch with the rocking chair!  Story of my life!!!  Since I started 2 weeks ago really going at it with eating better and exercise, I have lost 6.5 lbs.  I never thought I would ever publish my starting weight to anyone...but if I don't hold myself accountable and try to hide it, I don't see myself ever making progress.

So this is the beginning of week three for my working out and becoming a healthier me.  
The "skinny" on today's workout:  I am started from ground ZERO with this whole running thing, and have thought all along...this will never work.  Today I had to take back a Redbox movie to Harris Teeter that is not quite a mile from our house.  Well instead of getting my butt in my car and driving it there, I decided to walk/jog it back.  I jogged for 4/10ths of a mile straight...which is my most yet!  I ended up jogging more than walking throughout the whole thing and loved it!  1.6 mile workout today and after getting some water and hanging out for a bit, I feel like I could go again!!  I am so loving this whole having energy thing!

**Just a side note, you will notice I love to use !!!!!!...its not because I am yelling at you, I just get excited when I type sometimes, and a period seems so boring!**

What am I doing???

WELCOME!!!  That goes to you and to me!  I am so new to this whole blogging thing, and am clueless as to how it really works!  So my sister blogs, and I have really gotten in to reading hers as well as others she reads or follows or stalks...however it is done!  So then I thought, I want to keep track of myself as I am committed to becoming a new and improved me!!

Before you click that X and say...oh lovely, yet another weight loss blog....quite contraire my friend!!  I do want to see my weight loss journey and keep myself motivated, but I want to share what gets me there and HOW I get there.  Not one of those, well duh, exercise and eat right and you will loose weight....(says the skinny person with great running legs or fantastic willpower).  I want to share lifestyle changes I learn along the way;  What keeps me going; and since I looooove to cook, why not throw some new recipes your way that are delicious yet don't leave you wondering why your weight just went back up!!!(Also to share the fun I have on the way with those that love and support me)

I am excited to start this journey, and get going on this blog as an accountability to myself!
