No Sugar Journey: Day 1

 Well today is the day!  Although it is only 11 AM, I am feeling good about this. I weighed myself this morning and it confirmed my decision that I NEED to get serious about this.  I know I can do this!

The kids and I went on a walk this morning.  Holy hat rack.  Where we live, anywhere you go, you will eventually have to go up a hill to return home.  My normal route home is a steep hill, but not super long.  But to change things up a bit, I decided to go a different way.  Huh-uh, yeah...bad idea.  It was all fun and games until I came to the biggest hill of. my. life! Ha! I felt like it was a mile long hill and that at any moment I could collapse, and the stroller would roll over me and down the hill.  Although, let's be honest, if I did collapse, I would quite likely be the break for the stroller to stop. :)  Once I got to the top of the hill, I felt like dying, but I was proud of myself!  I even said, "Good job, Lish," to myself.  I am a good cheerleader. :P

This will take self discipline, which I clearly lack.  But I want to prove to myself that I CAN do this! I have a goal to lose 40-60 pounds. Oy!  I will need all the cheerleaders I can get! :)

My motto is going to be: "Move more, eat less." I've got this! :)
