Hi,
I"ve been a lurker on this board for a while. I've also been a lurker when it comes to my weight. I've been watching it (go up and down), but haven't been doing much about it. I've decided I need to get a hold on things and get serious about my weight loss and healthy lifestyle. I'm 37 years old and I've gained about 30 lbs. since I hit my 30s. I'm 5 ft. 5 in. and this morning I weighed 165.5 lbs. That's my heaviest, and bigger than I need to be by far. I'd like to lose 30 lbs. before I'm out of my 30s. I've got three years (and truthfully I'd like to lose it before I'm 38 which gives me 11 months).
I thought about writing a blog to make myself accountable for my weight loss journey. Then I decided that the safety of the Disboards was better. Afterall, anyone who loves Mickey Mouse surely won't be too critical of me, right? I've been getting up early to exercise before work, but I know I need to step it up a notch. I've been trying to watch what I eat, but I've got to do better. That's obvious after I binged on chocolate this week and spent the next day in bed with a migraine. When will I ever learn?
So, I am pledging to write in this W.I.S.H. journal every week and let the whole Disboard know how I'm doing - successes and failures included. Here goes nothing (or 30lbs.)
