Diary of an Overweight Sistah

Join me on my journey of weight loss. It will be a long hard road. When I started out as an adult I was a size 0. I am a size 16/18 depending who the outfit is made for. With hypertension and diabetes in my family...something has to give and it won't be my heart nor my health so the race is on! I will log into my blog daily to keep you posted. HOld me accountable. Laugh with me, cry with me, lecture me. If I could figure out how to post periodic pictures I would, but I don't so sorry.

2/9/05

I have been trippin'. Not blogging or anything and the funny thing is I have been taking my lazy butt to the gym. Go figure.

So since I last posted I have changed jobs PRAISE GOD. No more 45 minute drive. I can now catch the bus and with that requires a little more walking and exercise. I now work in downtown Seattle and get motivated to hit the pavement at lunch if I don't go to the gym.

The best part of my new job is the fact there is a gym in my building! I have no excuse. So now my routine is pretty set. Monday kickboxing after work. If I am not doing lunch with someone I go and do 1/2 hour on the bike or step during lunch. Tuesday and Thursday a body sculpting class. A little cardio, but more weights. Weds. lunch kick boxing. Friday I have been taking the day off, but I think I will get in on the eliptical on Fridays.

The last two days I have walked home. It is about 25 blocks. On a slow day like yesterday I took 1/2 hour. The day before I was at 22 minutes.

Water: I am up to 3 liters a day. I still run to the bathroom every few minutes. When do you get used to this I keep asking? I have to stop drinking water by 3 if I plan to be able to walk home and not find a tree to use :-)

Eating it is lent. Maybe I will go sugar free or low sugar. I have the splenda cheesecake from cheese cake factory for my lunch treat today LOL
