The Beginning.

Day One: 400lbs

For those of you that have read today’s blog over at Ruminating On. I have some updates:

First: Over the course of the past two weeks, I have only had two glasses of soda (down from a two-liter a day) and have replaced every other beverage with water. I did this to prove to myself that I could do “healthy” if I wanted to. I do have a cup of coffee on occasion with cream and sugar, but usually it’s Green or Earl Grey tea. I will start weening myself off all caffeine in another two weeks.

Second: I just finished my first in-home yoga session using a beginners chart I found online until my videos get here. These were VERY basic positions, but my muscles are burning. I should have known this would happen given my inactivity over the course of the past five years. Still, I’m so relaxed. Physically, I would liken this to drinking tequila without the drunk part. I feel warm, fuzzy, content.

Third: I’m not on a diet. I will continue eating as per usual. I feeling if I tackle everything at once, I am bound to fail. Once I lay off the caffeine, I plan on cutting salt from my diet. Then, on to watching my carb and calorie intake.

I will keep everyone updated on my successes and my failures, alike.
