Well, not off to a great start. 251.8. Exactly 1 lb more than last week. Of course, I only wrote in my food journal for 2 1/2 days. We ate out about 5 times, including fast food lunches. I'm and idiot because how the hell do I think I'm going to lose weight doing stupid things like that. I did get outside almost every day though. I feel better physically. I can feel the weight on my bones and I know they need some relief.
Short and sweet!

Day 1 - DOWN FOR DISNEY
I thought about our Disney trip all night last night. I am so excited and I know the boys have no idea what to expect but I do. I think part of my excitement is to see them experience Disney. What a blessing that we are able to do this with our family.
As promised I am posting my starting weight: 250.8
OMG! It's in print. I want that number to just go down on it's own, just like it went up - on it's own! I have brought out my food journal - again. I have written down my breakfast for the day, which, did in fact include a donut, before I realized what I was doing. But, because I went to the grocery store last night I had lots of other options to complete my meal. I have lunch for the week and my hubby and I sat down together and came up with dinners through Saturday. Good plan, at least where the eatting is concerned. Now I need to get moving. The weather is nice outside so a walk around the neighborhood could net me at least a mile. Plus I have that wonderful Biggest Loser game for the Wii. The right answer for the day is do the BL game. My youngest is sick today so I don't want to take him outside but he can sit on the couch and watch me work out. Then, maybe I can play Mario Brothers with him.
Day 1 - here I go!

Begin Again
Wow, I am not very good at this blog thing. I have so much to say and I just don't make the time to blog it.
Damages part 1:
So a few weeks ago I went to the Dr. and had a similar conversation with this new Dr. as the one 2 years ago that sent me into a depressive tail spin. The difference. 1 I am already working with counselors and on good meds. 2 - the delivery. The new Dr. was more helpful and old Dr. and seemed to want to help me rather than criticize. Either way, the result is that I will be seeing new Dr. soon and he will be working with me very closely for the next 6 months to really get my weight under control.
Damages part 2: Also a few weeks ago I was in a bad car accident. No one was injured but everyone was shaken up. I was coming home from Ohio to Illinois and not even 30 minutes into my trip I lost control of my car (it was really snowing badly) and a semi clipped my tail end and sent me spinning into the grassy/ slushy median. My kids were terrified and there was nothing I could do but call the cops and thank GOD we were all still alive. I didn't cry then, by holy crap, the next day, I couldn't stop. I just thought of all the bad scenarios that "could have" happened. I am still so pissed at myself for letting that happen. Could I have prevented it, probably, yeah, but I was simply driving to f**ing fast. I still have a lead foot but I catch myself and get it under control quickly now. I feel like my car is jinxed. It's had multiple dents in it since we've gotten it. I get one fixed and another shows up. Now, I've decided jinxed is a bad way of thinking about it. I think a better option is God is trying to tell me something. Mostly, slow down and be careful! That makes much more sense.
Ok, on to part 3 of this blog. Like I said, I have a lot to say and right now I'm just trying to get through the big chunks. Today my husband and I started really planning our family trip to Disney. This will be the first major family trip for us. The boys are 4, 6 & 8 and I know they will love it. Jumping back quickly to my weight, I must say, I am nervous about this vacation. I mentioned in my first post that movie theater seats are getting a bit uncomfortable, I can only imagine how a roller coaster will feel. I may even be over any weight restrictions. I want to have a good time on our trip and being to fat for fun is a real possibility.
So, I came up with a plan. Maybe not a good one, but lets just say that plopping down 4g's on a vacation is as good a goal as any to kick my ass into gear.
(also, I begged my hubby for a treadmill for my birthday)
I even made some better food choices when I went grocery shopping today. My new montra is "Down for Disney". Isn't that a catchy tune?! I am going Down for Disney. I'm still kind of a wuss so I was only going to go for 10lbs but that is just silly, I am so freaking fat that just 1 walk, 2 bottles of water and a partridge in a pear tree could get me down 10 by June. Oh yes, I guess I should put my time frame goal here.
Today March 14, 2011. Date to leave for Disney, June 7, 2011. That is 3 months or more specifically, 12 weeks. Going by the average of 2lbs per week I could be down 24lbs by the time we leave. That would be AMAZING! So, as of this second, that is my goal. 24lbs by June 7th.
I will wake up tomorrow and weigh myself and post my weight. (If you know me please don't look). I will post my weight every Tuesday. Wow, putting it out there is scary, even if it is only for my 3 followers :) But I will need the encouragement so any love would be appreciated.
Oh yeah, one more thing. I bought the Biggest Loser Wii game, still in the box! Gosh, I just need to get moving and I'd feel so much better.
I like to move it, move it...
I am going DOWN FOR DISNEY!!!!!!!
