Who's the fat girl?

--- Not me! Well, I'm still fat, but not for long folks. I've walked my butt off every single day since my first actual weigh in at the base clinic. July 28th, 2009 was my official start date. I started with the track. I walked a lap, ran a lap, walked a lap, ran a lap. It hurt a little, but I wasn't going give into the pain. After the track, I came home to be tortured by my trainer. Yes, my trainer. Free of charge, but definitely not free. My husband is my trainer. NEVER ask your spouse to be your trainer, most especially if he's in the military. He's made me do donkey kicks, monkey somethings, dirty dogs... wth? What ever happened to push ups and sit ups? I thought he was making fun out of it all. He was very serious and so I had to get serious. I asked for the help and he wasn't going to let me give up on the first day, nor the first week, or month. --- I changed up the walking routine. I did the 1 1/2 mile route, then the 3 miles. My two oldest daughters started walking with me and we did the 10K twice and the 5K about 5-6 times. We're on a roll. We haven't skipped a day yet. I'm very dedicated and devoted to the walking, turkey trotting and jogging, but I'm lacking discipline with my eating habits. I'm doing pretty good, but I have an occasional cholesterol buster every now and again. I am very pleased and proud that I've been drinking lots of water and I've not been drinking coffee. YAY!! I've never been a fan of water, and surely had to have coffee daily, but not anymore!! I'm so excited about all these changes. It feels great! --- Next Tuesday, I plan to do a weigh in and note measurements. I haven't lost too much weight, but I have definitely lost inches. I can feel it and see it. My clothes fit differently and there's no more rubbing of the thighs and my "ham hocks" (hips) are shrinking. Oh, I love it. Stay tuned for updates and details.
