The Ever Dreaded Weight Loss Journey

I have often thought of creating an online journal to document my progress in losing weight. The problem lately has been that I haven't been trying very hard to lose it although I have spoke of it often. Another reason I have not created an online journal is that I thought it would be embarrassing to have everyone know my thoughts about my weight and I was afraid I would be judged on my weight loss actions. However, I have reached a point where I am very uncomfortable with the way I look and the way my clothes fit me. I am the heaviest I have ever been and I hate it!!! My back surgery recovery has reached a great point to where I am in less pain than I have been in several years and I believe that if I can lose the weight that I put on after my surgery then I will feel even better. I am going to try to be as honest as I can although I don't think many people will be reading this.

So, in being honest I will say that I have put on at least 30 pounds since my back surgery in December of 2006. I am not yet honest enough to post my actual weight! :) Sorry!

My boyfriend, Zac, is also going on this most wonderful adventure with me! We've decided that our most important goal right now is to become more active. We don't eat great, but our activity level is absolutely horrible! Today was not a great day as far as activity goes. Zac and I didn't do anything but watch television while he was here. After he left I did get out my Swiss exercise ball and do my back exercises, so that's a plus!

I realize that this is going to be hard because I have let myself go too long without watching what I eat and without exercising. It has to be taken one day at a time. Hopefully, having this blog will hold me accountable. Even if no one reads it I can pretend that someone does! :) Now, I'm going to get my house clean so that Jaime and Amanda can come over to scrapbook tomorrow!
