The Battle BEGINS!!

I believe I have finally succumbed to the battle that is "weight". I have, until recently, been quite satisfied and non-caring about what the scale bespoke to me. I would hop on, giggle a little, possibly frown and carry on. Lately, however, I can't seem to get that little niggling voice out of my head.

I had to buy size 10 pants for the first time ever this last break. I broke my grey pants and had to get new ones. I decided not to squish myself into something that would bulge. I have enough problems without adding cut off circulation of the lower extremities to my list. That one shopping trip made me stop for a minute. I can control alot of things. I can control my shampoo, my midnight snack, my colour of clothes for work. (he he) I gave it some thought and I came to the conclusion that I should be able to control my weight as well.

Now begins the great game of weight control. I have about 20 pounds to lose. That will get me at my ideal (ideal by in my head) weight. 15 would make me pretty comfortable as well.

I have started the following actions to try to lose some of the chubby tummy:

I am going to the gym at least twice a week and I also walk 20-30 minutes a day at school, every day.
I drink 1L of water at school every day. Not including 1-2 cups of tea.
I am eating less food at lunch. Even though it is super delicious food.
I am going to drink less pop and more water.

I hope that will do something to start. I always think it's better to start somewhere than no where.

Here's hoping I have to buy new pants by my birthday :) (and a new bathing suit for Vegas!)
