Doesn’t it always seem like just when you get started on something good along comes a speed bump to try to slow you down. A nasty bug hit our house with a vengence this past week taking us all out of commission for a few days.
Of course, being sick screwed with the diet and exercise plan—big time. Plus we got another couple of inches of snow and some nice slush to cover the snow and goopy mud. Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Back on track though—and I’m going to start journaling my food intake this week. Anyone else out there tracking their food intake? Do you just use the old fashioned notebook approach, an app, or something else? I would love to hear some suggestions.
And, while we’re offering up suggestions, I would love to hear what kind of music you listen to when working out. I need to make a playlist so that I can avoid the Dora the Explorer songs while I’m walking.

Watch Me Shrink & Time to Get Moving!
You may have noticed that I added a new page today called Watch Me Shrink. I plan to use this page to feature of my weight loss related information. I posted my weight as of today, a few goals to start out with and, eventually, progress pictures
One of my main goals has been to get out and start walking during my lunch hour. I want to make the most of my precious time during the day and I might as well take advantage of the impending spring and summer weather (because around here it sure doesn’t last long)! I also need to start getting ready for the Relay for Life. I committed to walking with a team this year in honor of my mother-in-law, who we lost in October to lung cancer.
It’s been a difficult couple of months to watch my husband’s family deal with this loss. And, while her cancer was the result of year’s of smoking, her experiencing brought to light just how dangerous it is for me to continue to neglect my health. Cancer and obesity have been closely linked, expecially breast cancer and cancer of the reproductive organs. I know that even the healthiest of people can get sick with one disease or another but I just can’t bear to not do everything I can to prolong my life rather than just sit idly by and take my chances with laziness.
