This is a test to see if posting via email works! The pic is one of our dog's Buster. He is full Basset Hound and a very sweet dog. We adopted him from a shelter ~6 months ago.
Keeping a journal is a great tool, this blog is like an accountability partner....Walking is great exercise, you can do it anywhere, dogs are the best walking buddies, they are always ready to go. When you first start you have to make yourself walk.....kind of like a job you dont want to do but have to, the great news is that after the first several days, you actually look forward to it. I started a January of 10 to both change the way I eat and lose weight. 172 then 153.6 this morning. finally in size 12 jeans. I set my first goal at 5 pounds....and have kept that has a goal. I know you can do this...the greatest reward is not the smaller dress size, it is the feeling of self control and success that feeds the determination. I allow myself one splurge day a week..and even that has changed. So you go girl!!!
Hooray for you Fat girl, the first step is the hardest!
