I have decided to keep a blog of my progress towards a healthier me!  I'm still learning about the blog thing, so bear with me. 

I actually started this journey back on January 2nd.  You know, the whole New Year's Resolution thing.  But I actually did it this time.

We bought a recumbent bike for Christmas and I have been riding it faithfully since January 2nd.  I then added in workouts on the bowflex every other day about a week after that. 

So, how's it going after a month of exercise?  Well....I haven't lost any weight at all.  But I do feel better.  And I think I might be losing inches.  I've actually hit a spot of frustration because of the non-weight-loss thing.  But I'll keep trucking on. 

In fact, one of the things I want this blog to do, is inspire me to keep on going. 

Quote of the day:

      "The secret of sucess is having the courage to begin in the first place!"

And I hope to be able to add pictures here as well.  Let's try it!



I'd say that worked pretty well! 

The other thing that I think would help me with this journey is to try and think of things I'm happy for or thankful for.  I think I need to be reminded of all that is good in my life even when I'm unahppy about what my body feels like at the moment.  I have to remember that I am doing this one day at a time and that I'm not going to look perfect over night.

I am thankful for:  Cold rain - it's refreshing.  Hot sunshin - it's decadent.  Snowflakes - each one is unique.  Spring flowers - triumph over winter.

I can do this.  I need to keep it up.  Don't give up.
