Updates

OMG,
So I haven't posted in 5 days. Jeesh. OK so there are lots to update you on. Well. Tomorrow is the official start date and weigh in. Every week on Mondays I will weigh in. I need to lose 1.9 lbs per week to meet my goal.
In other news....hehe....I had a hypnotherapy the other day which went extremely well. My coworker is a theraputic hypnotist. She really helped me identify my problem and attempted to fix them while I was in a state of hypnosis. I will probably have a session with her once per month until i really start to see change. She is a very helpful. I would suggest this type of therapy. I have noticed some changes already with not having cravings especially for pizza. Infact, I was just at my friends house and she made pizza for her kids and I didn't even feel the need to eat a slice. It was like the pizza was not there and its voice was on mute. I love it.
Also new, I have moved to another department within the club. I will now be working 3rd shift Monday - Friday. This will definately throw off my eating schedule. But change is good. Well....I went out with one last horrah and had a glass of red wine with my friend hillary.

Well. Here is to a new me. I can't wait to meet him. I love you all.

8 days until start date

My computer blows. I typed out a version of this blog and my computer froze. I didnt save. Argh. Well. I blabbed about my day at work and coming home smelling like a sausage link. I didn't eat to good today. Although, it doesn't count until Feb. 1st.
I am getting nervous to start. I am afraid of failing. But my will power is there and my grandmothers stuborness is there. In the words of John Wayne "I am going in guns Blazing." So here I come.
I have the next four days off of work. So I definately need to find something to do, otherwise I will go crazy in my bedroom. But with the snow coming in I don't think I will be going anywhere. Well until tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in.

9 days until start date

Well...First I would like to thank those that cmmented to my first post. It feels so great that people I dont even know are wishing me luck. You two are great.
So today was a normal day. I worked 9-5 and it was boring. I need a new job. However, while I was at work I was talking to a banquet server. She happens to do clinical hypnosis. I am going to be a willing guinnea (ps my spelling is rouch) pig. She will be doing 3-4 sessions of weight loss hypnosis. I am trying to tap into every resource to make this successful.
So until tomorrow when I can post from my computer and not my phone. Our neighbor moved...so with them went my internet connection. peace.

Here we go....

Ok...So I am 21 and live in the Twin Cities. For years I have struggled with my weight. I have always just excepted it. Although, recent family events have turned my feelings towards my weight. Both sides of my family have histories of heart disease, cancer, high blood preasure, and diabetes. Not only am I concerned but my family is as well.

I was told that journaling about my emotions, thoughts, and weekly activities will help me get through the roughest of times. So why not. The date to start is February 1, 2010. My goal is to lose 100 lbs in 1 year. That comes to 1.9 lbs per week. I believe that it is a healthy rate to lose at. I will weigh in once per week. I will then post on the blog my thoughts and concerns. This is a very large hurdle but I know with the help of the online community, friends, and family it is possible. Please, please, please if anyone has suggestions or concerns on the pace as being unhealthy please leave a comment. Thanks for reading and wish me luck.

The posts will get longer. This is sort of an introduction. Please excuse me poor blogging abilities. This is my first time ever blogging. Thanks all.
