Here we go!!

So this is the first blog, of hopefully many, of my attempt at a successful weight loss. I started this to share my feelings with people because that's something I have a hard time with.

I've been going to Cardio Boot Camp since January of this year, and I've gone religiously. I haven't missed a workout, which is a great thing for me. The last time I joined boot camp, I didn't go as often as I should have. I signed up for 3 days per week and would end up going maybe one or two of them.

My attempt at Jenny Craig didn't work out so well. I didn't want to join Jenny Craig in the first place, because growing up, a lot of kids would call me fat and would say "Go join Jenny Craig" as if it were a bad thing. Jenny Craig does a fantastic thing for so many people, and it did work for me but I think I had too big of a goal. I signed up for a year, in hopes that I would lose 100lbs by December 2009. I didn't. And I think if I had joined during those promotions, "20lbs for $20", and did a little at a time, I think I would have been more successful. Either way, I'm currently not on the program anymore, and I am enjoying the freedom I have with eating other foods.

But perhaps that's the problem. Tyler and I eat out a lot, which is something we both have to work on. He generously told me yesterday that we'll get serious about this and that he's going to work with me. And that's what I need -- someone to work with me.

I want to get into running because it has always been something I hate. Ever since I can remember, I hated running. I would like to learn to love it, honestly.

So my goal for February is to start running, and being serious about my diet. I need help, and I need people to support me.

Here we go!
