Updates.

Well I can say this is the first time in a long time I've wanted to go to bed at 9:30pm because I honestly did real physical work and felt tired. Today I bought some 2lb Velcro weights for my wrists for when I play DDR. I used them this afternoon and WOW it pretty much doubles the effort necessary to play that game. I will definitely be hanging on to those things. Maybe I'll bring them to the wellness center with me tomorrow too. I got to exercise with my other T person today and that was wonderful. Next time we go she's going to show me the ropes on the weight-lifting equipment! Yay! I have a long-term goal of someday being able to water-ski.

Furthermore, I decided that when I lose 15 pounds, I'm getting an exercise ball. Then I talked to my wonderful dad today and he said he already has one and he'll give it to me-- when I lose 15 pounds :) That definitely saved me $30. <3

Today I did well with food-- a banana, a bar and (real, warm) green tea for breakfast, eggs with only one tortilla and black beans and a limited amount of cheese for lunch, and homemade soup with lentils, lima beans, peas (all dry, not from cans-- take that SODIUM!), carrots, spinach and potatoes with marjoram, rosemary and green curry powder.

Also I did measurements today-- so next Sunday we'll see if I have gotten any smaller!

I'm surprised (and pleased) by all of the people who've been so supportive of my new endeavor. I appreciate all the support, whether it's in the form of being an exercise buddy or tolerating the pictures of hideous fat people I pasted to our refrigerator, I appreciate it. Thanks for your continuing support.
