DISGUSTING!!!!

I got on the scales on Monday and was fully disgusted by what I saw.........256 POUNDS (GROSS). I weigh more than most men and I am only 40 pounds lighter than my own husband (how sad). So now that I do know how much I weigh and what size pants I wear, I am ready. I want to loose 20 pounds by March (hopefully more, but that is all I am liable for). I did not work out on Monday due to the weather but I did work out on Tuesday and today. For right now my plan is to work out 5 days a week and eat smaller portions. My workout consist of running from one end of the gym to the other and then walking back. I do this 30 times, then walk a mile, and then do 10 sets of bleachers, and then a cool down walk (this takes me about 45 to 50 minutes). I think my legs are going to officially fall off tonight (I can't even get up out of the chair without moans and groans). At this moment I am not really checking what I eat just how much I eat (instead of a bowl of cereal at 10:00 at night I choose grapes or an orange). Is it all worth it?

You know my weight has always been a issue. I was never a small girl. The smallest I have ever been is 150 pounds and in a size 9 (I would love to be there again). Now I do not like to look at myself in the mirror and I most defiantly HATE for my picture to be taken (let alone seen by others). I talked to Phillip the other night about this and found myself really wanting to make a difference. So here I am. Working out Tuesday was not bad at all, today has been a little harder but I did not give up. I am hoping that by telling others that is will help me stay on track. My 10 year High School reunion is in October and I would like to loose 80 pounds by then, so ladies and gentlemen lets do this.
