The beginning

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE YO-YO mentality. I am sick and TIRED of being addicted to food, seeking comfort, satisfaction, relief from boredom from something I stuff into my mouth.

I AM finally going to do it....I'm going to eat right for a long period of time for the first time in my life since I can remember...probably infancy? toddlerhood?

By eating right I mean vegetables, fruits and lean meats and whole wheats. No sodas....my only vice will be coffee...and lots of water to drink!

I also plan to exercise 1 hr each day. 45 minutes of that will be cardio=walk/run and 15 will be toning.

I'm not so sure how to gauge how it will affect me.

The reason for doing this is to find out if it makes me feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally. I also want to see how it will affect my body.

Tomorrow will be day one. I'll take a picture and take my measurements.

This will continue for eight weeks and at the end I will reassess to see if I want to continue this for longer, indefinitely, for a lifetime....

Today is April 25, 2007.
Each day I will check in.
I'll measure myself once a week.
May 19th will be the ending date so almost eight weeks.
