Collecting the Pieces

By MJ

In order to be successful in this life changing endeavor, I need to have all my ducks in a row…

Today I signed up for the Biggest Loser competition. They made me weigh in with my shoes on! I also weighed myself at home and will be reporting(and recording) that number since I will have my scale to compare it to on a weekly basis. You can visit my weight log page to see my progress.

I also talked to my Dad and we ordered a recumbent bike. Why? I wanted some machine at my house that I can just “go burn a bunch of calories” when I feel like it. Sure, I have a jump rope, but I’m in NE Ohio (brrr) and our ceilings are not high enough for proper jump roping… Plus my hopes is that both Mom and Dad will find themselves using it as well. I’m hoping Dad’s back will allow him to use it, and Mom can read a book while she pedals if she likes. I would have loved an elliptical (I used to have one) but they are too expensive for my budget right now. And I wasn’t sure if Dad would be able to use it or not. So it should be arriving tomorrow… a fun project for Dad and I to put together.

I will be creating a food log page of some sort. But for now, let’s say today was no where near perfect. But there is something to be said for NOT having bad stuff in the house — you can’t eat what’s not there!!

It doesn’t look like I’m getting a snow day, so I better head to bed.
