Starting Out

If you are here you know I am participating in a huge competition between now and April 6th. I have had serious struggles with my weight and I am sick and tired of it. I feel like if I can figure this out I will be on the road to a healthier life.

When I was little I had the job in my family to be the big smiler, and I have decided that I will always be the big smiler, but I want a smaller body.

My goal is to keep a daily record of what I ate and what I did for exercise. I may have to force myself to not blog until I have done my exercise because that I think is going to be the hardest part for me.

I'm not planning on making this blog anything supper fancy and I'm not looking to have any of my words affect anyone but me. I may put things on here that are just encouraging to me. If people come here and want to read and see how I am doing, that is fine, but I will probably get into a lot of things that no one else wants to hear about.

I want to use this blog to talk to myself a lot so I can figure out where the root of my weight issues stem from.

I was on the official biggest loser site and I found the application to apply to be on the show. I am thinking one of the first things I will do is act like I am applying for that show and answer the questions on my blog to get into my head.

I was working with a nutritionist a few months ago and I had a lot of success with that, so I am planning on implementing that into my goals.

I want to figure out exactly what I need to do exercise wise. I have decided that for one thing I will be just practicing. I want to participate in the Susan G. Koman race for a cure race that will take place in Salt Lake on May 9th, so I need to get ready for that.

I have a lot in my mind that I want to say and you will see if you read for long I ramble on about things, but I think that is all part of my process, so if you don't like it...don't read it. :-) Seriously though, I will probably not make much sense to anyone but me. ;-)
