exercise in moderation

Well,
I am still exercising but only in moderation. I take walks, or I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill and lift some light weights. I just need to keep up with it. Let's see if I can still loose weight this way. only time will tell.

The first week I just wrote down what I ate. now I'm going to assess what I ate and make changes so I can have the opportunity to reach farther then my goal for next week. I'm proud of myself.

Opps!

Well I've decided that I am not going to keep up with the Wii Fit all the time. I will do it here and there but not everyday. I've actually been going back to the gym lately. I've gone Saturday and Monday. I am planning on going today and tomorrow. I have started a food diary. I've kept it up so far today is the fourth day of it! Right now I'm just writting down what I eat, next week I will assess what I eat and make a few changes. I know I would loose more weight faster if I cut out unhealthy snacks and sweets, but I just can't get rid of the sweets. As long as they are in the house I will eat some of it. But I have stopped buying the sweets, so the only person who buys sweets is my father in law. I have no problem with that. I also need to drink a lot more then I normally do. Especially a lot more water!! I've been running and walking on the treadmill at the gym. But you don't burn as many calories as you do if you were on the stair climber or the eliptical. So I don't know if I'm going to get back to the other ones over the treadmill. But I love the treadmill. In my walk/run I did 1 mile in 14 minutes. I want to be able to run a mile in 12 minutes, but I do not think I can run for 12 minutes. I need to loose more weight in order to do that, only because I feel my heart wanting to jump out of my chest when I run for more then a few minutes, at the pace I do. But I'm hoping once I loose 5 pounds that I will be able to run and not have that feeling. Maybe I need to loose 10 pounds. My goal is to loose 25-30 pounds. But that means I will have to change my eating habits and I will need to exercise more then I do. Here's to hoping I can do it. I just need to put my mind in that mind set that I need to loose this weight. fingers crossed!!!!
