Monday Check-in (a little early)

Okay..it was the big moment. My weigh-in for myself and for you all...and it was just a bit early since I ended up having to go to work Sunday night shift but that's okay because I lost 5 pounds! Woohoo! I'm still haven't added in the exercising which is coming...this week for sure but I have stuck to eating well mostly, I'll admit to having a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and I had two apple dumplings (no ice cream) for The Dude's birthday earlier.

So I'm off and running/waddling! Ya'll keep rooting for me and it is nice to know that I'm going to have to post on this each week...it's kind of like my own 'Biggest Loser' contest with myself. I just need a Bob or a Jillian to really get me going!

I've been debating.....

and I think I'm just going to take the plunge and do it. I have to do it. I. Have. To. Do. It. The oh-so-terrible IT I'm talking about is....losing weight. I'm not exactly sure what has happened but my weight has just snuck on and snuck on and then dog-piled on and I'm by far the heaviest I have ever been in my life!
So what I'm going to do is this...I think. I figure that the only people that see this blog is family and friends that love me or at the very least, I hope they do! (laugh) I'm going to start a weekly check-in about getting fit and you guys will have to hold me accountable to it. I've always done better if I know I have to report to someone sooo you guys have just been deputized! Woohoo! I should run (did I just say run!? ack!) right out and get you some tin stars to pin on your chests this very minute!
I'm thinking it will be a Monday check-in but since I've made this decision and I DON'T want to back out...I'll tell you what I weighed today. This is the number that has made me decide that I have had enough and it's time to do something about it. (gulp) 209. OMG!! 2 - 0 - freaking - 9! How in the hell did that happen?!
But I'm done, I'm turning this pizza train around right now and you guys have to watch me do it! Muahahaha! Okay, I'll weigh in on Mondays and keep you updated periodically. I'll even post pictures once Dan gets that darn wireless router up and going.
I'm going off to scream now...catch ya'll later!
