The Plan

I need to monitor my activity and how much I am eating.  I am super excited to say that I have gotten a cheap used treadmill. I would really like to become one of those people who likes to run.  My goal is to become a more capable runner. I have NEVER been able to stand running. Even when I was a thin little girl. I need to work on building up my body's stamina.  I have decided that every night I will walk/run on the treadmill while watching a Biggest Loser episode on Netflix.  This way I do not get bored with walking, will get at least 40 minutes of exercise a day and hopefully cultivate some motivation :)

I also ordered this BodyMedia Fit thing from Amazon. It's like the Body Bugg they use on Biggest Loser but it is cheaper! It will cost me a monthly website fee of $7 but I think it will be worth it. It will keep track of my calories burned in a day, my sleep patterns and the like. Hopefully it to will motivate me to get my butt moving. Sad thing is its not going to be here forever! They haven't even shipped it yet.

As for my meals, I plan on following Weight Watchers to monitor my food intake. I know from experience that the Points Plus Plan really does work. On top of that, WW recipes are the only Light and Healthy recipes that I have come across to date that don't taste like a$$. 

I'm not entirely sure which day should be my weigh in today. I weighed in today (Sunday) at 254.8 lbs (*cry*).  I have my reservations about weighing in on a Sunday. My intention was to weigh in yesterday, but I forgot :(

This morning I had a WW Ham and Cheese Omelet and WW Apple Cinnamon Pancakes. Usually I will just have one or the other, but I didn't get a chance to make yesterdays brunch. Good thing I made both or my family may have boycotted. The way it was they felt that there wasn't enough food.  By the way, both dishes were very good.

Tonight I am going to make WW Shrimp Po'Boys and Coconut Green Beans. I have my reservations about the Green Beans (as does my husband who hinted that regular green beans were perfectly fine), but I am trying to branch out and try new things.  If we don't like it, we will never make it again. No worries.

My plan in to try post to my Blog each day. At the very least I will post on Weigh In days.
