Another week has begun.. I went to 24 Hour Fitness to get weighed and measured. I will have to wait till Monday morning 7am. I have no problem with mornings since I get up at 4am during the week.

 

Chuck has had stomach cramps and caught some bug. He is not keep anything down. He just wants to beat me this week the easy way!

 

I can't believe I am not feeling tired during my time off work. I ususally would take a nap for 30 minutes or longer.

 

 

Thinking of leaving for work a little early to walk on the treadmill.

Today was my first day to actually work out at 24 Hour Fitness. I asked to be weighed & measured but there were not any trainers available. I made an appointment for Monday morning when I finish my bus route.

I did walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes and then did the epillital for 5. I then went swimming and swam 6 laps. I can tell I am really out of shape!!! I ended my workout with a nice soak in the hot-tub. Awwwww that felt so good after exercising.

 

I feel so much better since I've been watching what I eat. I plan to go to the gym at least 6 days a week.

 

It was so nice having "ME" time at the gym. I'm doing this for ME & no one else. If you don't have your health you don't have anything.

Today I had a trip on the bus and was gone from 9:45am till 5:00. I planned all the food I was taking and tracked everything. I even walked the track at the school. I only did one lap... I was too full from lunch to walk any more.

 

Chuck has been taking his lunch to work . All the food is measured and makes his life so much easier at work. He works 12 hour shifts.

 

I don't seem to be so hungry that I just inhale my food. I have started to eat slower and have at least one fruit a day. 

Today I signed up for 24 Hour Fitness. I love it that they have a lap pool.

 

Eating small amounts  of food all during the day. I post my food on WWW.Sparkpeople.com  It really helps me know the calories, carbs etc I am eating in a day.

Chuck and I are starting to walk aound the neighborhood every evening. It really feels good to walk. This is just the beginning of our walking routine. You might say this is our warmup walks.

 

Taking one day at time.

Well today was a good day. Lots of planning and good choices. We both drank lots of water.

My husband Chuck and myself are tired of feeling tired and being overweight. We are making lifestyle changes. You need to plan ahead on your meals and enjoy the company you are with. Focus on the time with family and friends rather than the food you are eating.

 This is the start of a new year and a new beginning for myself and my husband. We both want a healthier lifestyle to enjoy life to the fullest.

We want to be around when our children have our grandkids. Diebetes runs in my family along with strokes.  We are tired of buying large size clothes.

I drive a special ed school bus and need to get more exercise in my life. Just this past Monday a group of 35 people started a Biggest Loser challange at work. We will have our last weigh in May.
