An Early Start

I was going to wait until after vacation (which is in 2 weeks) to start my new diet, but I started today. I got a new bike for an early birthday present and I'm loving it. I went bike riding for 35 min. today. I'm also going swimming today. Between these two activities I will have burned 750 cal. Thats a lot. I have my eating planned out too. I'm also going to drink my six glasses of water. I am also using sparkpeople and weight watcers to help me watch what I eat. So far so good today!

I Can Do It!

Today I joined this blog. That was step one. Then I did a work out that was step two. Step three is filling out all the information so that I can be serious with my challenge. I will admit, I am very proud of myself. I did a kettle bell work out today. Thanks to my friend, she has encouraged me to get back into kettle bell training and to try and eat better and lose weight. I know I can do it and with her help (Stephanie) I know I can do it. I am going to be using this site to post my workouts, post my eating habits, and to post my progress and thoughts. So here I go!

I am pretty happy with what I ate today. I didn't have any ice cream and that is a big accomplishment for me. I love ice cream. My goal for tomorrow is to drink more water and to continue to eat good. I am going to do some type of a work out tomorrow, I'm just not sure what yet. Until then.....
