Challenge

Tomorrow March 9, 2011, I am starting a challenge for myself. The intention is to blog daily for 50 days. In the blog I want to mention my morning weight first thing out of bed, my diet for the day and exercise or the lack of it.
I intend to blog before going to bed.
At the end of my 50 days I will have a record of how good or bad I have been in regards to what I ate and also exercise and others can also assess the record.
I hope I have had more good days than bad at the end of it. Also it would be great if I could shed some lbs!
I will be counting down the days so my first blog will be #50.
I have a doctor's appt tmrw...haven't seen a physician in a while. Did see my OB in September. I am out of my thyroid medication now for over a month!

Update about why there were no updates.

I have been baaaad! Foodwise and exercisewise. It started out with me not working out for a few days and then my diet went off track and to top it off I pulled a muscle in my back below my scapula. I gained 2 lbs. NOt Thrilled at all about  the weight gain. I hope to get back on track ASAP. My back is better, still sore but better.
I am thinking about applying to grad school to study biotechnology.
When I do not blog regularly you can be almost sure I am doing bad in regards to my weight loss efforts.
