Day 2

So here I am at day 2. So far so good. I went walking for another 40 minutes today. I decided that Converse All Stars weren't going to cut it for walking everyday so I had to get me some new kicks. Got some New Balance runners in silver and turquoise. They seem comfy. Hopefully no more blisters on my toe. Now all I have to worry about is the pain in my hips. It hurt so bad at one point I thought my leg was going to give out. Hope the Glucosamine & Chondroitin starts working soon! I guess I'm in worse shape than I thought. :(

Forgot to mention that before I even began exercising I started drinking only water. Well, water mixed with the occasional sugar free lemonade packet, but that's it. No more sodas, not even diet. The caffeine just messes with me. So, I have taken 2 steps in the right direction so far. Now, all I have to do is start dieting. That might be the hardest part. :S Next time we get groceries, which will probably be pretty soon, is when I will start. I think I will go low-carb. Not like crazy Atkins style, more like South Beach I think. I want to stay away from white food; potatoes, rice, bread, sugar, flour, etc. I think once I start dieting I will include what I have eaten in my daily post. I've kept record of it before and I think it really helps keep you accountable for what you eat. Guess I've got a couple of more "Mini Goals".

Mini Goal #2: Lower carb intake.
Mini Goal #3: Keep track of what I am eating by writing it down.

I think I need another name for the "Mini Goals" since they are goals in themselves but they ultimately lead to my main goal of losing weight. Hmm, I need to think on this. "Sub Goal"??? I don't know. I'll keep working on it.
