Progress

Okay, 5 minutes on the eliptical. The saddest part is that is twice as long as I could do it last time. So, I'll add some time next time (later today? Tomorrow?) But this is better than nothing, and it is a start. You have to start somewhere!!

Day 1

So today I did about 15 minutes of floor exercises, using two small balls and one large one. Mostly stretching. Tomorrow I hope to at least walk a mile, but I have to say the stretching sure felt good and my back felt much better and more relaxed.

Before

Here we go.

Hips 49"
waist 42"
bicep 14"
thigh 22 1/2"

This was painful, but I am going to do floor exercises, elliptical and walks something for at least 15 minutes for now, every day except Sunday. So we'll see. I really am having lots of anxiety and need to work it off.

Progress

Two bags of clothes to Goodwill. One full trash can of clothes. A few pair of shoes purged. About to tackle the classroom. Lord have mercy!

No progress in exercise yet. But I am still thinking about it =P

Pervasive Hoarding Clutter

Wow. Everywhere I turn there is evidence of my hoarding tendencies. Too much weight. Too much stuff. Too many books. Too many clothes. Too much debt. Too much everything. Needy, needy, empty hoarding me. Where to begin?

Massive de-clutter

Realizing weight is only part of the clutter I must tackle. Today deleted massive amounts of e-mails. Next, my desk. No more stuff for me. Must declutter. Every day. I'll try to keep track of what is going out vs. what is coming in. Maybe if I can get a grip on this materially, I'll be able to do it financially and with my food intake. Seems like it all might be related!

It's been 3 months, and I still resemble a bowling ball

Soo, off I go. I must reclaim my shape (round is a shape, right). No, seriously. I am unhappy with my overall condition since Melanie's birth so I must do something. This will chronicle my journey to fitness. Tomorrow I will measure my waist, hips, thighs, and take my heart rate. At some point I may weigh myself, but for now, measurements will be good enough. Tomorrow, then, we get a starting point. Til then...
