Day 1

A road trip is a journey we take with a destination, a goal at the end. Let's say we are moving from California to New York. Well, we have to plan first and execute next. Of course when we reach our destination, how do we survive, what is our strategy for sticking with it? Starting today I am executing my own road trip. Debbie's Weight Release Road Trip. Weight "Release" because when we lose something we usually want to find it ;).... Just like a regular road trip, a health plan involving eating and exercise require the same types of actions. We get started off smooth but are assured that throughout the trip there will be some stops, maybe some detours or even road blocks, not to mention the distraction of others in the car. How do we handle ourselves? How do we keep it positive even when the going gets tough? This will be my journey and I hope you will join me so we can all make it successfully to our own destination.
I started a Weight Loss Challenge today with the Kroc Center. It's a 12 week challenge, like Biggest Loser. We meet once a week on Wednesday and have an official weigh in. After that, for the rest of the week, it is up to me to manage my eating and exercise. The female and male with the highest percentage of weight loss wins $300 toward membership to the Kroc Center. I really feel like I can win. So, for the next 12 weeks I will be talking about the challenge and what I'm feeling throughout and how my road trip is going. My destination,....80lbs in 8 months....My starting weight.....240lbs! Here...we...go!!!
