Food: I stayed below my 1500 calories. I went out to eat at a mogolian flat round grill and had tofu with lots of vegetables. I have lost 10 pounds so far!
Exercise: I exercised for twenty minutes, not swimming like I had planned--walking.
Thoughts: I could do better in keeping up with my plan, such as planning on swimming today, yet I don't beat myself up when I deviate. There are so many variables that come up--such as a sick mother, needy children, new medication that makes me tired or feel nueseated, or doctor's appointments. Still, it's important to have a standard to live by and daily exercise is an important goal. I want to do better, like swimming each morning to increase my metabolism.

Marathon April 18, 2010
Sometimes we have control of life and sometimes we don't. I want to gain control of my life by "losing it my way".

Marathon April 18, 2010
Welcome to Losing It My Way
My sister, Heather Hansen, Utah's Biggest Loser Season 3 felt like being on the "Biggest Loser" was the only way to get her life back. It worked for her! Although she invited me to audition with her I gained weight instead. Now I want to take control of my life, too. My idea is kind of crazy but nothing else has worked. So, why not try something new? I'm blogging my way to weight loss. That's right. I don't need to be on "Biggest Loser" and I don't need a television show like Kristie Alley to lose weight. I just need a method that works for me. Yes, I am a weak human-being when it comes to yummy-fattening food and I need to hold myself accountable.
My gameplan: There are 365 days in a year and I need to lose 100 pounds. (I don't care how many pounds I lose in a year or what I look like. My objective is to start living healthy!) Every day for the next year I am going to blog a journal entry that includes whether or not I exercised and stayed on my daily menu. Maybe committing to a journal blog and "doing it my way" will be less intimidating and more powerful than anything else I've tried.
GOALS:
May- 1500 calories; any calories above this will have to be burned off through exercise. Minimum 20 min. exercise.

My Inspiration!
April 18, 2010 my two younger sisters entered a Marathon in Sacramento, California, in my behalf. I have been fighting Triple Negative Breast Cancer (www.tnbcfoundation.org)
undergoing chemotherapy for the last several months. Finding out I had cancer was a shock to my healthy family, and when my sisters found out about it they wanted to do something for me. They have! Stepping over the 15 mile finish line in less than 3 hours gave me the motivation to train for my first marathon in October. So, cheers gals, to my blog-a-jog!
