Day Two - Walking to Lose Weight

This is officially day two of an uphill battle I am waging against myself to go walking to lose weight. Since becoming the mother of two and moving 1,000 plus miles away from my children's birth place, I have put on about 30-40 pounds. This obviously didn't happen overnight. I have been living in South Florida for almost three years and have gained enough weight that I don't want to even write home about it anymore.

Now that there is a basis for losing weight, that is my goal. It's a goal I know that I share with many bloggers, bloggers the world over, I'm sure. I have decided on a deadline for losing, at least, 30 pounds - September 1st. That is a long way off. On the Biggest Loser, it seems like they have to lose an enormous amount of weight in a much shorter time, so I'm thinking that my goal is definitely reachable, with a few cheat days in between.

Look at that, I'm already planning on cheating. Well, I guess that's not really true. You have to live in order for losing weight to work. I think I've just been doing too much living. Anyway, there you have it. I walked today twice around this track at a park that is five minutes away driving distance. Yesterday I only went around the track once, so I improved today. Maybe tomorrow I'll walk three times around the track.

So, here are the facts:

Starting Weight: 189 (This is what I weighed the day before I started.)
Day One Weight: 188.5
Day Two Weight: 187

Let's see what tomorrow brings. Of course, I know it's not all about walking, but watching what I eat. I'm not really going on a special diet or anything, or maybe I will. We'll see. So, are you with me? You want to go walking to lose weight?
