more than just talking about it

It's supposed to be in the 90's here again today. I tend to be a really bad sweater (Gross, I know). I can't seem to remember if it was this bad when I was thinner. It'll be interesting to see if that changes. DS has inherited my sweatiness - isn't he lucky! But it just doesn't seem so bad for a boy.

Day 2 went smoothly - I stayed within my calorie limit (1800), drank lots of water. Didn't get much exercise. I have water aerobics tonight, so that'll be fun. My mom and I started going just a few weeks ago. Just moving makes me feel good. For anyone who feels like they are too big to exercise, please do water aerobics. It is a good workout and anyone can do it. Some of the people even come with canes, but don't need them in the water.

I am feeling good about my journey so far. I just need to stay focused. My first "speedbump" is coming up on Sunday. Pizza party for MIL & DH birthdays. My goal is to lose 50 lbs in 3 months. I had previously decided to give up pizza for that 3 months. I tend to have a false belief that I can eat anything I want and still lose weight. I am one of those people who used to spend her 1800 calories on junk and still think it was a successfukl day. While I believe it's all about calories in and calories out and I could have pizza, it's one of those things that I believe might trigger me. I want to be thin, but this time I also want to be healthy and pizza needs to be kept to an occasional thing. So for Sunday, I will pass on the pizza. I plan to go by the pizza place and see what other choices (a.k.a. salad) they have and plan to bring my own chicken if necessary.
