CONGRATULATIONS. ( see doesn't this feel good already?)
You took the hardest step so far. Thank you for Michelle (Seashelle) for inspiring this idea. Out of a yo yo affair with Weight Watchers and a fleeting thought to run away to a "fat farm" Seashelle's Cyber Fat Farm was born. Throwing the idea of the lock down in a health resort, out to myself ( Rowena) , I wondered what that would do for the long term, let alone what to do with the 2 kids and husband. Hey, "mere oppression makes the wise man act crazy" and when you have a sack of potatoes that suddenly attached itself to you.. "Shelle" is feeling oppression. Well, after the impracticality and temporary nature of the idea was set aside, a day later, the idea of an at home "fat farm" was raised. "Michelle is serious", I thought. Let' the games begin!!! I love to rally people up and get things together. But, why am I doing this, you ask. Because I believe it or not weighed 200lbs in my Sophmore year in high school. ( Just had to throw out the disclaimer.) And hey, I had a baby a year ago. Enough said.
Let's get on it.
Start Date: Wednesday June 8
What to do:
Under each dates post you will find a "comment" link. Click it and post the following daily: ( If you skin a day you can go back and add)
1)How you did on your eating plan. You can also list what you ate all day. Food diary's have proven success in helping people lose weight.
2) How much and what you did for exercise that day. Don't be afraid to put nothing. Exercise may not be everyday, but posting something, will keep us checking in to what we want to do the next day.
So.. pick your diet of choice and add it to this first post in the comment area.
Exercise goal for first 2 weeks: 4 blocks (30 min of exercise of choice = 1 block) That is a grand total of 2 hours of movement a week..... for now.
And finally.... grab your camera, stand in front of the mirror and snap a quick pic. Nothing fancy. Email it to: rowmandy@sbcglobal.net Send them over by the weekend to start off our next week with a bang!
Let's join Michelle in getting some weight off! Here we go....
