Beginning......again.....

I have been sitting on the couch since I was married on May 26, 2007. For several months prior to the wedding I worked really hard at losing some weight but was only able to lose about 10 pounds. After the wedding I quit working out and my sweetie and I began to spend much of our spare time sitting on the couch in front of the tv and fooling around on our laptops. It really has been a nice year but we have both gained weight. I was afraid to look at the scale and wasn't going to until I had walked regularly first for a few weeks. So the walking began on Sunday, March 2, 2008. We walked 2 1/2 miles and then did some work on his house. Monday morning I was not able to get out of bed. And I was psyched to begin early morning walks either with my sweetie in the neighborhood or on the treadmill...whichever worked out. I am so depressed to be in pain just when I was beginning to get motivated. For some reason, before I got in the shower on Monday morning, I got on the scale. Yikes!!!! 193 pounds!!! A twenty pound gain in less than a year. I have never weighed this much! At at 5'2" that is so very unhealthy and unacceptable. It is definitely time to get serious.
