Day 1

So many of us have made a few attempts at either losing weight or becoming healthy. And often times, we do not succeed. I've made "commitments" many times before that I was going to start getting healthy. They all failed. Every. Single. One.

Today, I'm kicking off a few commitment to myself to be more healthy. Not only to lose weight but also to create a habit of healthy eating and exercise. I'm going to be blogging over the next several weeks and months some of my thoughts and tips as I walk through this journey.

I've wanted to do this for a while but I've recently been inspired by a friend that was on the television show The Biggest Loser. I had heard of the show but had never really watched it until this season when Sarah was on. Here is her Before/After:

Amazing right?! Sarah started at 267 and ended at 148! She lost 119 lbs!!  

I'm not quite 267. I weighed in this morning at 230. I never thought 150 was a realistic goal. But now I think it is possible. With lots of hard work, but it is possible. 

Today is day 1. Today I will focus on healthy behaviors. Be more active. Eat healthy food. 

Here is my starting point.
