Still trucking!
I weighed in on Monday for "my" weigh in. Down to 243.8 on my work scale. This makes a total of 11+ pounds for January. Something has finally stuck with me. I am not sure what is different this time, but it is. I'm not complaing, just thankful!! I even got up one morning this week and used the new elliptical before I got ready for work. If anyone knows how much I hate getting up in the morning, this is BIG news. I need to get into the habit of it more often!

Still going strong!!
I am still on the right track!! Saturday, my Dad and brother went and picked up the elliptical I bought from Sears and put it together while I was working. It is HUGE, but will be a main decoration in my living room until I buy a tv for the extra bedroom that it will end up in. I used it Saturday and Sunday already. My goal is to get on it every day, if only for 10 minutes. I need to move more and eat less! I have no excuse to be lazy when it is blocking my tv view from the recliner!!
I just finished my Phase 1 of the South Beach diet. The only bread I had all week was last night at Red Lobster, where I had one Garlic Biscuit. I couldn't resist the little sucker. But, I made healthy options. We got the shrimp cocktail for our appetizer, a salad, wood grilled salmon, and brocolli. In a different time, we would have gotten the stuffed mushrooms, I would have eaten 3-4 biscuits, and I would have had some sort of fried platter. I was just as happy and satisfied with my meal last night as I ever have been, so that should tell me something!
I just finished The girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday. I made sure that I read while on the elliptical. I think that's going to be one of my motivators. I can only read something if I am on there. I am a huge reader, so that should be pretty good motivation!!
2 weeks down, a lifetime to go!! I'm giong to the office on lunch to weigh in for the week, for sparkpeople. I will be weighing in on Friday's at home or at my sisters for my biggest loser challenge with my Brother-in-law. That is fun, but my real challenge is to once and for all get healthy!!

A New Year
I CAN'T believe that I'm saying this, but I'm starting over again. When I started this blog I wanted it to be the chronicle of my last lifestyle change. Unfortunately, that wasn't meant to be, so I'm here again. I have a few things going for me.
1. I have bought an elliptical machine that will be delivered tomorrow. My biggest problem with exercising is that I will not leave and go back to the gym once I'm home. I'm sitting this sucker in the middle of the living room floor so that I have no choice but to use it.
2. My brother-in-law and I have started a biggest loser contest starting today. 13 weeks. Wager is $100 to the winner from the other player. If I have to hand over $100 I'm going to be so mad!! It's just the motivation I need to keep on track!!
3. When we weighed in for biggest loser tonight, I only weighed 6 pounds less than my brother-in-law. He's at least 3 or 4 inches taller than me. And I see him as "bigger" than me. I guess not, huh? I've lost at least 7 pounds in the last 2 weeks, prior to this starting, so I was heavier than him. That is like a slap in the face to me. I need to wake up and take control!!
Here we go!!!
