Every Blog Has A Beginning

I do it to myself everytime. I see pictures, or look in the mirror, or just feel generally unhappy with how I look or feel and I decide I'm going to lose weight. This isn't the bad part, I do need to lose weight, I'm currently considered obese. It's that I sit down and I start planning and adding up numbers, trying to decide what number I'll be happy with on the scale, and how fast I can get there if I go full speed ahead, and how fast I can get there if I'm more realistic...and there's where I set myself up for a downfall. I make these goals and then when I haven't made that goal number by a certain date I get pissed off and give up, and then gain it all back. I'm not doing that this time. I'm going to make my only weight goal be that I lose at least something every week. I'm aiming for 2-3lbs every week, but ya know what, so long as I'm not gaining I'm going to be happy with that.

So here's what we have to look forward to.
Every Tuesday I'm going to:
1. Post my weight with a picture of the number on the scale (hopefully I'm awake enough when I weigh myself in the morning to remember to do this)
2. Post a new small goal for both food and exercise

I'm trying to make this as basic as possible, the more complicated things get the less likely I am to do it.

I'll try to post most days with how I'm doing on my goals, but we'll see how that goes. September tends to be a ridiculously busy month at work, and this year looks like it's going to be even worse, so I guess we'll just see how it goes. At the very least I'm going to post once a week (and if anyone's reading this, hold me to it so I don't fall off the wagon!)

See ya tomorrow!
