**baxjul** · 01-01-2008, 10:27 AM

Let's get ready to start (I know some are starting tomorrow)! I'm having pork and sauerkraut today, so I shouldn't be too bad, we'll see. Also going fishing, so I'll get in a walk while we are out!

Pork & sauerkraut here, too. Hoping to get a walk in as well, depending on the storm. Gotta make sure I get my water (especially after all the alcohol from last night)

Me

I'm not looking at losing weight. I mainly need to get more active, eat more produce, and drink more water so those are my goals.

My brother dropped off my new (to me) treadmill yesterday and I tried it out and did half a mile in just over 10 minutes

I've had my coffee & a bagel with light cream cheese. Any snack I have (which is rare for me, I'm not a big snacker) will be yogurt or an orange.

dh and i are going to the park this afternoon for a nice 2 mile walk. we're taking it slow since i dont really get any exercise at all. dh plays ice hockey and just had a tournament so he's been pretty much working out for a the past several days in a row. ive always really enjoyed walks with him because it gives us time (without distractions or telephones ringing or funny commercials) to just talk with one another and have quality time.

im contemplating buying a 24 pk of bottled water (i want to say that ive seen them at safeway for $3.99) and then holding on to those bottles for refilling.

I'll check back in this evening to let you know how I did today.

**bumplett** · 01-01-2008, 12:29 PM

oh, lat: I buy the packs of water and refill the bottles - works for us, but there are 4 of us that will use the bottles - and this way, it's okay if we lose a few

I started a couple of weeks ago. I'm using exercise tapes and cutting back. I've lost 2lbs already. Only 33lbs to go to make my goal. I try to eat healthy and stay in shape even though I've packed on the pounds. Today I had a big breakfast:Homefries,bacon(1 1/2 slices), 1 egg and a muffin. Hubby is home so I made something special. For Lunch/dinner we are having grilled shrimp, homemade baked beans and cucumber salad. I'll eat some fruit and/or soup later in the evening.

Unfortunately, I've not started out today very well. I had a Dunkin' Donuts coffee roll for breakfast with a mug of tea. When the boys take their naps, I'll be starting to drink some water and exercise.
