A Nice Surprise.

I got on the scale this morning...against my better judgment, and discovered that I weight 271lbs. I don't know why, I haven't started exercising, but there it was, a 1.4lb. loss. Not that I mind, I'll take it, but it's odd. It's probably just a natural fluctuation, but like I said, I'll take it!

I'm so needy!

The title is a bit of a play on words, but I really do need a lot of stuff...clothes, shoes, health care, exercise equipment...yada-yada-yada. Ughhh...I wish I'd never moved to CA.

And so it begins...

I said I would come do this today and here I am posting all of the ugly unvarnished truth. I am ready for change and whileI may not always be perfect I will give it my best shot.

As of today, December 26th 2008 I weigh 272.4 lbs. , amd 51% fat, and I am about 5'5.5"- 5'6" tall.

I am way too large for my fram and I am beginning to feel it in my hips again. I say again because at one time I was up to 297lbs. I lost all the way down to 193lbs, and then I moved here to CA. and things got difficult and I gained the weight back.

My ultimate goal is 126 lbs. I've checked and it is well within a healthy range for me, so I am comfortable with that goal.

I am in a very tight situation with money right now, but I can at least still exercise even if I don't have the money to eat properly. I am hoping that things will turn around for me soon though. Just gotta keep that positive vibe flowing, you know?

So, just like the title of this entry says, it begins today...well, tomorrow, but you know what I mean.

New Beginnings.

It's Christmas and I am feeling rather hopeful that the new year will be better than the last few I've had. I'm feeling renewed and motivated and that's always a positive sign. I will be back tomorrow with weights and measurements so I know where I am and what I have to do to get to where I want to go.

My best to all of you and hope you have a good holiday.

Getting ready...

So I guess with this new blog should come a new effort to lose weight. I have a slight problem, however. I have no job, (I write, but it's freelance and I'm just getting started with that so no money is coming in), and I have very little money to get the healthy food I need. I am also living on top of a 6200 foot mountain so getting out to exercise is a problem in Winter. Ah....I guess that which does not kill us makes us stronger, eh?

My next post I will detail what I want to do, what I can do, where I am right now, where I want to get for goal, and that sort of thing.

This will be my outlet...

Right now I am in a bad place financially and in some other ways as well. I have created this blog as a way to cope. I have lots of issues that need...shall we say...airing out, and I think this is the best thing next to therapy. Welcome to my odd world people.

Oh, and for the record I have other blogs under another name, but I want to keep that blog and this one seperate for personal reasons.
