today is day 1 of my challenge to myself.

last night i read the book by Bob Greene Total Body Makeover. it basically gives me the structure that i need to get my ass in gear and drop this weight for good.

i really did not want to get up and start working out today. it's sunday and we slept in a bit, it took a lot of just sitting there w/ my DD and DH before i got moving.

so i drove to the gym and did my cardio. i really pushed myself harder than i have lately.
