Day One - October 6, 2013

Hello everyone!

I have been over weight for a long time and I am sick and tired of it. I am ready for a change. I thought I would start this blog to not only keep myself held accountable but maybe I can also inspire someone out there to make a change. I have severe asthma and starting to have more back and knee problems. So losing weight would not only help me mentally but physical I would benefit.

I work over 50 hours a week and my commute to work is about 2 hours everyday, so it is hard to find time to exercise but I will make time. My husband once told me that if I truly wanted something, I would do whatever I had to to do it.

So I have devised a plan that I believe I can stick to. My plan to is to do at-least 30 minutes of exercise a day. If that is only going for a walk when I get home or being able to go to the GYM with my brother. 

I will also try and watch what I eat on a budget. That is going to be the toughest part of this challenge. 

So starting today my plan is to everyday write a little something about my journey. I will post weekly updates to my weight loss and give some helpful hints that may also help you to lose weight. 

So here is to the first day, Cheers!
