Back in the late winter and early spring, I had been posting a weekly post on how I was doing on losing my weight.  I had gotten away from that towards the end of May as well as gotten away from eating healthier and exercising.  Why did I get away from a healthier lifestyle?  Did I just get too busy?  No, I didn’t get too busy.  I think it was more along the line of me getting too lazy!  Since I have been told that I have arthritis and fibromyalgia, and now it is important for me to get healthy and get this weight off of me.

How am I going to do this?  I have joined in with a group of ladies for a little challenge.  We have challenged ourselves to lose 15 lbs by Christmas time.  However, I have added 5 more pounds to this, because I have since gained a few lbs in the last week and I want to get below 200 before Christmas.  How am I going to do this?  I am going to start tracking my food for the day, drink my water and try to at least exercise for 30 minutes today.

How did I do today?  I was able to eat 3 healthy meals during the day.  I drank 108 ounces of water and walked around 6 blocks in town.  I am really pleased with how my day went.  I am looking forward to continuing this until I reach my goal.
