Seriously, Already?

I can't believe I'm already frustrated. It has only been one week. One week! Well the truth of the matter is I'm obsessing about the numbers. I've been working out like there was no tomorrow, for instance yesterday I worked out in the morning (40 minutes of Kettlenetics), walked at lunch (40 minutes), and went on a 6-mile bike ride (another 40 minutes). So I guess I expected to see me go from fat to thin in one-week flat. Yes, yes, I know that is ridiculous. The last time I went through this process the weight just fell off, I was picking it off the street in clumps! But this time I'm older, and I'm wiser. I know I can't do it the same way - which was healthy but too quick - because it'll just come back again. Boy don't I sound wise, that is the problem its easy to sound wise on the outside, just hard to be wise on the inside.

Today I only worked out for 20 minutes doing Kettlenetics this morning, and I didn't do a very good job at it. But I hope that when the furnace guy gets here and leaves that I can hopefully get another workout in. Maybe its too much, but if I start off gung-ho, maybe the enthusiasm will carry over and I'll last longer on this path then 6 weeks.

It helps that my husband, Nick, is on board. He also needs to lose 50 pounds. I also found a couple of neat online tools to hopefully help out. They are fun for now anyway. They are www.fitday.com and www.caloriecount.about.com. They have tools to track your weight, food journal, excercise journal, charts and graphs, and all sorts of stuff to keep myself interested.

One day at a time. And I must stay away from the scale. I'm weighing myself too much which is why I'm frustrated. So one day a week, Monday. That is the new plan. We'll see how long I stck to it. After all, I'm very good at sticking to things, for a second.
