Day One-244lbs

Day One

Today I got on the scale and I weighed 244lbs. This is by no point my worst weight but it is time to make the change again. I have been reading some amazing blogs over the last few months ( Jen, Anti-Jared, 266) all who have lost an amazing amount of weight and continue to keep it off. Therefore I am going to use their tools and create my own blog and my own journey...So here goes folks....

So this is one of the more recent shots of me and my chunky monkeyness. I was in Iqaluit Nunavut for the week of May 10th and one of my friends took the shot. I don't think I look to bad actually but I know I can be healthier.  So I am gonna work towards health for a lifetime.

So this is me on my most recent birthday. I turned 37 on the 17th of May.

So this is me. I live in Nunavut and I need to get healthier. 

So today I weighed myself at 244lbs. Today I started to track what I ate and the exercise I am going to do. 

Food intake:

2 large eggs

Marble cheese

Black bean and corn salad with red and green peppers and italian salad dressing

Spartan apple

Trail Mix

Coucous

Peas and Carrots 

Chuck steak grilled 

Lots of Water! I love my water....well with Crystal light flavors as the water has a unique flavor of dirt up here in the north

Exercise

50 mins on my treadmill I did the foothills option. Level 1 

8 mins at 3.3 mph then 2 minutes at 4 mph--so you see what I did

Then I called my friend to see if she wanted tea - she suggested we walk our dogs so - another 1 hour walking on very rough gravel. 

So here is day one...and here are my goals

To lose 60 lbs in a year 

To exercise on a daily basis 

To eat healthier ( a bit of a challenge in the arctic)

To blog daily

I hope that some of you will help hold me accountable and encourage me on my journey.
