A little twist- Kell's Journey

I decided I'm going to make an attempt at making a little twist with my blogging. In addition to posting about my family, I'm going to include you along on my journey to weight loss. So, my weight loss journey will be labeled with "Kells Journey" and the others will be family posts.

Yes, I am throwing myself out there, almost as bad as being thrown in a cage with lions. Haha. I am doing a lot of self-analyzing and really trying to figure things out with emotional eating. I'd love to hear any of your comments and ideas. I'm hoping to lose a pound a week....with a long way to go! So I will tell you whats working, whats not...and my weaknesses.

A friend of mine and I are going to start focusing on 3 areas of healthy lifestyle changes a week (but we complete each daily). With this we're going to get $1 a day for each day that we complete 3 of our specific areas. It's things like: eating 3-5 fruits/veggies, drinking 6-8 glasses of water, exercise for 30 mins+, binge free, etc. Hopefully this will help the focus to be with making healthy changes, versus "going on a diet", or the such...none of which seem to last any significant amount of time.

So once I get a get a hang of this, my posts won't be near as lengthy. I saw someones blog before that was dedicated to her weight loss journey. She was dedicated and took pictures each week in the same outfit and it was amazing to see the noticeable changes along the way. I am not brave enough to do that...but I hope this will help me to be more accountable. I was grateful that she shared her story...with the ups and downs. It makes you feel more human and dare I say, normal?! :)

So for today...nothing real noteworthy...other than the fact that I remained binge free for the day and really limited unnecessary eating. The next 2 days I work and those days seem to be easier on me, why is that?! Tomorrow I'm going to be binge free, drink my water, and exercise for 30 minutes.

Please leave me comments of any sort. Ideas, inspiration, even to let me know if in any small way I help you want to do better. Makes it all worth the while.

I am so proud of you. It is a good thing to be healthy, and I can't wait until I can get on my tread mill and feel like I am actually TRYING to be healthy! (I have to wait at least 6 weeks my Dr. Says) So I am using my housecleaning as my excersize and some days that is a lot!! You will do great! I am so GLAD you have a blog. you should do a before & after picture...
