Weighing Down

I'm not quite sure if you could call it a 'wow' moment- but, stepping onto the scale after a weekend away with the fam and seeing 2-6-5 flash back at me was an out of body experience. It was as though the reality of how much I've let myself go literally crashed into my own little world. Yes, I have made efforts in the past to lose weight. I've known that getting into shape is a top priority after I get done school, have more kids, make enough money to afford my own workout equipment... you get the picture.
So, here I am. Why I am I publically putting out there my weight? I can't hide anymore. I've finally decided that it is time- time to change.
Here's my goals:
1) View exercise as a chance to de-stress
2) Excerise as much as I can
3) Be focused on the process and not so much the progress
That last one may seem like an odd goal. For those of you who have struggled with losing weight, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say that focusing on the outward progress is only setting myself up for failure.
Last Friday I signed up for a membership with the YMCA. So far, minus Sunday, I've gotten a workout every day. How do I feel? GREAT!!!
Who needs drugs? Seriously! The first day I worked out I felt like I was in 7th Heaven because I had my daughter in the daycare they provide and was able to have two hours of 'me-time'!
I'm going to make an effort to check-in here and post my progress as a means for my own accountability. I don't know if anyone really reads this blog- but, that really isn't the point!
That is it for now :-)
