okay.....time to get serious

I've been reading about good plans for weight loss through lifestyle changes. They seem to be a good place to start. Reading is one thing, working it is another. I'm having a hard time getting to the gym. And walking around outside has not been very appealing (except for the few lovely days, when I was at work!) I do get more time walking now that I am working 12 hours a day. I hardly sit down. It does make me tired. Last time I checked, I was down 5 pounds, but I am worried it was a fluke and don't want to weigh again until I 'feel' thinner!

And I need to work out at the gym for real. I'm planning on Tuesday. I'd love to go to the yoga class at 7 am, but since I don't get home from work until midnight, I'm thinking that if I can make the 11 o'clock class, that would be wiser! :-) I could take the class, ride a bike for 20 minutes and then sit in the steam room. That seems pretty easy, right? The goal will be to GET inside the gym. The rest takes care of itself pretty much.

So, birthday is coming up. This makes the whole 50 b4 50 seem a little closer. I really have to have endurance to reach this goal! Good think I have to walk around so much at work, and it keeps me from eating very much while I'm there, too. Maybe I can meet this goal? I'm going to keep trying.
