Hard to believe but I went to the HC on Friday and walked 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill! It helped because I had my headphones plugged in and I watched Law & Order. It really kept my mind busy. I was so proud of myself! I walked at 2.9 mph and it took me 40 mins. WooHoo.

I still can't control my eating yet. But I believe it will fall into place soon. It is like I can only do one thing at a time.

I decided to not do volunteer work right now. I am committed to volunteer to workout 3 times a week instead. I am going to give to myself for a change. It is like going to work because I have made the commitment. I just make myself go. I don't want to go but I do anyway because I am depending on myself to show up.

I weighed 217 when I started now I weigh 219! I am not discouraged. I will continue to go because I want to feel better and be stronger.

Today is Monday and I went for my final evaluation. Melissa, the trainer, helped me work through my weight routine. I got there early and walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes first. After my routine I used the exercise bike and clocked 2 miles! It really helps for me to watch tv. I was sweaty and hot but I felt great that I did it. I called Anne and told her about my accomplishments. She was proud of me too.

I don't know how this is going to end up, but I plan to go back for more on Weds!

I hope this works.
