Fessing Up

December 31, 2008.
Today is New Year's Eve. This morning I did about 20 minutes of the "Billy Blanks Tae Bo Live! Basic Volume 1" video. The entire video is only 30 mintues, but I'm not there yet. It's a good start, right? For breakfast I ate 1/2 cup of oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar. (I should have skipped the simple carbs) For lunch I had a large bowl of vegetable soup with 3 biscuits. (I should have skipped the biscuits. Those dang simple carbs).

Tonight I may eat a 2 slices of pizza and a salad, if I'm a good girl, maybe 1.
At bedtime I always have a glass of red wine.
My goal is not to necessarily limit calories. I'm miserable when I do that. Instead I'm going to try increasing fruits, veggies, and whole grains while limiting unhealthy foods.

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
~Albert Einstein

Day 1 confession. I never weigh myself. I have no idea how much I weigh; I don't even own a scale. My best guess is that I weigh around 170-175 pounds, and I am only 5 ft/5 inches tall. What I do know is that I don't like what I see in the mirror. I also don't like the way being heavy makes me feel.

I only weighed 135 pounds 15 years ago. . I never thought I would be over weight, but I am. Over weight is not a proper description, I am obese. So I said it...I am obese! Reality is only an illusion. Huh?
