Day 1

So, I may my decision yesterday to change my lifestyle. I went to a weight watchers meeting this  morning. I'm a little bumbed because there isn't any young people there, but it felt good to get up early, plan my food for the day and not be rushed to work.

The best part of the discussion this morning was making excercise work!

Step 1: Love it! Do something you enjoy, tweak it to your personality and interests. Be creative. I am a social person, so if I'm going to excercise I need something fun and that involves others. So, I signed up for a Zumba class in Grandville on Tuesday nights. And we start bowling again in two weeks.

Step 2: Keep it up! Make a routine and stick to it. Just like you would any other appointment on your calendar. Get your clothes ready and focus on what you like about it. For me I feel accomplishment, energy and in a better mood when I excercise.

Step 3: Kick it Up! Add some extra days or times and vary your routine.

Activity period is better than no activity. So no excuse that it's raining today or that I have class tonight.

So far I've had:
Special K Bar   -   90 calories
Orange             -   65 calories
Water, Water, Water (A major factor in over weight people is that they are not hydrated!)
