MY 2013 NEW YEAR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

Keep at it! Juggling diet and exercize with kids is sooo difficult. I know I four myself. I tried to lose weight and get healthy last year and fell flat. This year I joined a personal training and nutrition program. Instead of spending my money on unhealthy things like fast food and cigarettes I spend it on the pprogram. I tried to do it in the afternoon but found that working out in the morning before the kids get up for school works much better and it gives me energy for the day. I've only lost about 1 pound thus far but I'm optimistic. Another great way to exersize with kids is to include them in activities you caN ALL ENJOY, LIKE HIKING OR WALKING THE DOG(IF YOU HAVE ONE).

I started my journey on 7 Jan...and so far...in 11 days...I have lost 3lbs already. Remember it took us a long time to put the weight on...and it takes time to get it off. I use to crash diet and over exercise...and I always gave up. This time I am taking it slow. I need to lose about 33lbs and I if I lose 1.5lbs a week...I will meet my goal by the end of July. I did a lot of research on heart rate and calories burned...and so I bought a heart rate monitor to help me accurately determine the calories I burn and track it all here on FitClick. You can do...if I can...I'm sure you can...cuz I'm weak when it comes to food and exercise :-(
