What better place than on the DIS is there to have a journal?!! :cloud9:

My journey this year, 2011, is to not only loose some unwanted weight, but also unwanted debt! :thumbsup2

Where to start??? First with they weight. Growing up I was never over weight, but once I had my first baby I gained a lot and ever since, 9 years ago and two more babies later, I'm still having a hard time getting motivated enough to get serious and get rid of it for good! :headache:

But that has all changed! :goodvibes
I'm am SO motivated and have been on a pretty good streak this last week with getting up early in the morning and getting at least 20 minutes of exercise in. Now, this is just a start I didn't want to push myself too hard too fast because I know that is calling for disaster.

Next I need to work on my eating habits. But like a said, one thing at a time!! :laughing:

And then there is the debt. :rolleyes1
It's not a massive amount, but it is to our one income budget.
But I'm SO thankful to have found Dave Ramsey and all of his common sense help. :worship:
If you haven't heard of him yet you should check him out!!

So here are my stats:
(I'm doing this to keep accountability! And I know that here at the DIS would be a great place to do this!!) :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Weight: 175 (not a for sure, but pretty close!)
I'm 5'6

Work out: Mon.= 20 min. Denise Austin DVD
Tues.= 22 min. Run/Walk on treadmill
Wed.= off
Thur.= 20 min. other half of DVD
(I suppose from now on I'll do my stat check in on Monday? Along with a weigh in?)

Debt: (as of April 7th)
'02 Honda Odeyssey
2 Credit cards
2 Student loans

(not exactly sure on the total amount right at this moment, but I will update once I do- which will be tomorrow- pay day, bill day! :surfweb: )

I'm really looking forward to reading others WISH journals and also getting feed back on mine, hopefully!! ;)

Oh and did I mention that this all has a connection to Disney!!
One I'd like to be a bit more in shape and look better for our next trip........
which will be once we pay off our debts!! :cool1:

So the more support the better to getting this done on my family on our way to a debt free healthy Walt Disney World trip!!

:flower3:
 
It's Friday!! :cool1:

Got on the treadmill again today!
Think I'll do the DVD again tomorrow. I know if I don't change it up every once in awhile I will get bored.:sad2:

Did a quick weigh in and I think I might have actually lost a couple lb's this week! :thumbsup2

Hopefully I'll have some time tonight to look through some of the other journals on here to get some extra inspiration!! :worship:

Trying to find some that I can post comments to.

Happy Weekend all!! :tinker:
 
Hi Sara,

Welcome to the WISH journals and congrats on your dedication to getting the weight and budget under control at the same time!!

I think you will find lots of great support here. I know I did when I was first starting out. Also it is a fabulous way to keep accountable and stay motivated. I find I'm much more "on plan" when I have to report to myself (and the nebulous cyber world) every day.

Best of luck. I'll look forward to following along with you.

Thanks!!

These are the reasons I decided to do this journal.

Today I had a hard time getting up- so no exercise- yet anyway.

And when I weighed in I got two different results!! :scared1:
The non electrical gave me a few pound loss while the electric on gave me a couple pound gain!? :confused:

I'm not too worried about it. Hopefully I will be able to see results in the way my clothes fit eventually. I know that matters more! :banana:

Happy Monday!
