Tomorrow

So tomorrow starts the big deal.  Mike and I are hitting the diet.  Not that we should really be calling it that, more a lifestyle improvement.  While Mike will follow the older guidelines of Weight Watchers, I found that counting calories works for me.  I've also decided that on the nights I don't go out to the barn to ride, I will start going for walks.  I'll be freezing my butt off for some of these walks - who the heck irritated Mother Nature that she gave us a beautiful weekend (with tornados), then dropped the temps back into the low 40s for highs???  


But I've got to start somewhere.  I also want to bring in my exercise ball, get it pumped back up, and start doing exercises on there.  I would really like to work on my core area, because I'll be honest, I want to trim the stomach and the butt/thighs down a bit.  I know a few exercises on the ball and just using me that will start helping those areas.  Plus, if I can start trimming my legs, it might make it easier to find riding boots that fit.  2.5 years of ballroom dancing, plus jogging, have rendered my old riding boots too small in the calves.  Thankfully the rest of my riding gear fits.  Just need boots.


Tomorrow morning, I weigh myself.  I got an idea of what I weighed when I went to the doc on Wednesday to have something else looked at, and it's definitely time to get going.  


And the brutally honest part?  I'll post my weight on here too, and when I do, I will also include my goal weight.


Deep breath.......I can do this.
