Week 1

Began September 24th. 5 days past my 33rd birthday. I asked my husband if he wanted to start working out with me again and he said yes. We already own all the equipment necessary. Heck we have more stuff here than lots of start up gyms. And most of it is of superior quality so all we need is to make it happen right? Easier said than done. We purchased the "stuff" in February and March of 2008. Approximately 1.5 years ago. When we first got it I was using it fairly regularly and was making progress then for some reason just gave it up.
My first goal is to get under 200lbs.
When I weighed in on the 24th I weighed 252.
One week later after cutting my portion size and increasing my activity (at least 1/2 hour twice a day on either the treadmill or the recumbent bike) I had GAINED just under 1lb. Very frustrating. I just wanted to go and grab a bag of some salty snack and go to town. Why bother if it wasn't making any difference?
