This is the beginning of my journey to drop 30. I am not anorexic but I wish I was because then this would be too easy. However, I like to eat too much, which means this will be difficult. I won't go into how I got here and that doesn't really matter, anyway. What does matter is that I don't stay here.
The idea is to keep track of everything and by making a note of it, I will be able to stay committed. Nothing new here. Well, I'm new but I guess that's about it.
I will do aerobics everyday unless something dreadful happens or I am overworked but I am generally pretty committed once I get going on the exercise wagon. I actually like it. I have a step aerobics tape that's over ten years old that I LOVE. It's just perfect in that you don't jump around too much and there's not much of a chance for injury. I like the routine, too.
I will be restricting calories. That will be the most difficult aspect of this journey. I love to eat and I eat when I am stressed and when I am bored. Like I said, if I had just a teeny bit of anorexia in me, I could do it this, no prob. Food gets me though. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do any other types of drugs so food is really good sometimes. 
It's funny, I like to psyche myself up for it and I guess I have - I've been doing my aerobics almost every day for about a month. I've missed a few days but, overall, I did very well. It's the frame of mind that counts. I like to think of calories like money - except in the reverse. Calories add up, so you must spend them before they pack up on you.
I do count calories. Always have - it helps me stay motivated. I count what I take in and I count what I burn (as much as I can).
I don't know how thorough this journal will be. I'm just doing this for the heck of it. I'll keep count of calories on my computer's calendar just because that's how I've always done it and I'm too much in the habit to try to change it at this point. If i see a reason to expand this journal, I will. I might even post some pics. I took a "before" shot and I do believe it is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Seriously.
I don't have a goal date in mind. A goal weight, yes, but not exactly a date. I know one can lose two pounds a week so it must be at least that.
I have no tricks and, as of now, I have no pills to take. I do have these little things that you put on your tounge to numb your tastebuds for about five minutes. 
Well, here we go.

I love that attitude. You CAN do it. But why stop at thirty? Why not go a little bit farther. Your goal is set and you and your mind is focused. Good luck and keep me updated on your progress.

Thanks, Jose! I just might go a little bit farther. I'll have to see how 30 goes.
