One Proud Woman!

Well, my first 15 minutes walk is now behind me and I cannot tell you how good I feel about myself and life in general. Why is it so hard to get myself to get to this point. The goal is to make this type of change in behavior a habit so I don't even have to think about it. Looking forward to my 3 PM walk (indoors).

On my way!

On my way to take my walk. So very proud of myself.

NEW DAY, STRONGER COMMITMENTS!

I woke up this morning full of determination to walk. I have already contacted my break partner to advise her that I plan to walk at 10 am (one step at a time) and that she was feel to join me if she desired. Our conversation regarding our commitment to walk at 10 am today lead to a pact to keep each other on this road to increased activity through walking during our breaks. I will post my accomplishment of a 15 minute walk this morning. Taking baby steps toward changing habits. It won't be easy and I acknowledge that fact but I'm better than I have been allowing myself to be. I will do this because I know I can. I have no one to prove this to but me. There are drug addicts that fight the urge for drugs everyday. I can fight the urge to put foods in my mouth that are killing me slowly. Until later...

Good Evening, My name is Winona. I asked for premission to me an author on this blog to be accountable to someone besides myself on my road to self-improvement through improved health and weightloss. My current goal is to lose 30 lbs by Oct 5, 2011. I'm on day 3 of my journey to this current goal. While I had not been completely compliant with my plan. I have had success in making better food choices. I'm drinking more water than normal. So I h. ave made strives in the right direction. Rather than punish myself for my failures. I'm celebrating the successes I have experienced. If I can manage to continue to make small improvements along the way. I will soon be living in compliance with my plan. The area I have struggled the most with has been walking for a total of one hour a day. My plan was to walk 15 minutes twice a day during my breaks and 30 minutes of my lunch. I'm still trying to get motivated to walk my first 15 minutes, but I know I will get started on that soon. I don't forget and I take breaks. I just don't go walking. Maybe tomorrow will be the day. Since I now reporting my progress, I believe I just might get it done just so I can share one more success with you. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to share my journey first to help myself and second to maybe help someone else along the way to also succeed in making their health a priority in their life and realizing we are stronger than we are allowing ourselves to be by letting ourselves go, even for just a little bit. Until later... God bless us all as we move forward in taking better care of this gift of life.
