This is the first post for my new weightloss blog! Huzza! I've wanted to do a blog for a long time, but never really knew what to write about. Obviously, write what you know, and what I know is a struggle with weight. (Thanks to Val for giving me the idea of blogging again!)

I don't want to get into any of the sappy "woe is me, i'm overweight" crap. I just want to chronicle this journey and give out some good tips and tell you what's crap about weightloss. And I'm sure I'll throw in some grumblings about my day to day life as well.

So! What am I doing to lose weight!? A lot these days.

1) Eating better (duh) this includes limiting sweets, junk food, and pop. I'm proud to say I haven't been drinking pop regularly since June 17th. I used to drink about 3-4 cans of diet pepsi or coke zero a day. :s

2) Excercising (duh, again) My boyfriend bought me a bike for my birthday, so I'm getting into the swing of riding again. It's not like riding a bike....what a stupid expression. Riding a bike is something you have to re-teach yourself....there's a lot of swerving involved the first few times you get back on!

I have the Wii fit, the EA sportsactive for the wii and a turbojam dvd that I alternate between. I'll delve deeper into reviewing those in a later post.

I guess all this to say that I'm trying my best to do this the right way. I guess if you are struggling with this as well you can keep an eye on this to get some inspiration and what not. Also if you're a snoop (like me) you may just want to follow this to get some not-so-interesting gossip.

Cheers,

Steph

p.s. I'll think about posting numbers when I'm more comfortable...or maybe once I reach my goal. LOL.
