Back at it

So after nursing an injury for a month (some days using it as an excuse) - I'm back at the battle of losing weight.  Since taking that time off I've gained all of my weight back plus some.  This tells me that I eat way way way too much food.  Something I seriously need to work on.  Join weight watchers??? Do a food journal??  I just don't know where to start.

A family member of mine said once that they were fat because they had reached a certain pound.  I've been thinking about this - my family member of mine is in NO WAY fat and I'm not just trying to be nice.  Other family members and I tried to teach them that it doesn't matter how much you weigh as long as your body is healthy.  As long as you keep your body in shape - the weight doesn't matter.  Not really.  It's a hard concept for this day and age.  So this is the last post that I will talk about how much I weigh.  From here on out - I'm going to talk about how my body feels and occasionally post a picture so you can see the process working.  I'm not going to see how much I weigh.  It doesn't matter.

This time - I've decided to do less impact exercises (in order to not hurt myself) such as biking (man those seats hurt) and playing at an adult playground.  This playground is completely amazing.  It is right next to a kids playground so the kids can play while the parents workout.  I'll have to get a picture of it and put it on here.  I think all playgrounds should have something like this.  Today I tried Yoga with my sister.  It was HARD! By the time the exercise was done I was dripping with sweat.  I wasn't glistening - it was a full on down pour.

I've mad a commitment to my sister.  We've decided to workout twice a week, every week with one another.  I can tell you that it has already helped me more than I think she realizes.  Not only do I AT LEAST get two workouts in a week - I get a chance to build a stronger relationship with my sister.  Its priceless.  My goal is it to be able to look at myself in the mirror and say "You did it today.  You are awesome."

So here's to me and everyone else - who decided to stand back up - to get back on the horse.  We can do it, one step at a time.
