Day 2 - February 2, 2012

Well, eating half was interesting.  Of course having the other half sitting on my plate was so guilt inducing from old "scripts" my parents taught me about starving kids, etc.....that I just couldn't handle it!

As far as skipping goes, I couldn't get over 2 skips without tripping.  I'm getting old.....I used to skip hundreds without fail.  I could not do one push up.  I honestly gave up after that and sat back down on the couch to continue working....like I always do.

So far this has been less than encouraging.......

Day 1 - February 1, 2012

Well, it's only 8:30am on Day 1 and I'm hating this already.  The gmail account setup is hard to get used to when you've worked with Outlook all your life and so I find myself missing messages because I can't follow the trails!  I checked out the pictures of the rest of my group, and so far all you guys are already skinny (in comparison) so I feel a bit mismatched here!

I finally found Kevin's new email and read all the things we need to find to get going, and I'm feeling discouraged about even finding a sturdy door in my extremely small batchelor apartment that has only one door and that's the front one that opens up into a 3x3 hallway!

I took my Day 1 pictures this morning, NOT in the way Kevin wanted because I haven't owned a pair of shorts or a bathing suit in over 10 years!  I basically looked at the pictures and had a melt-down about how my butt looks in a pair of jogging pants (something I also haven't worn in years but had buried in the closet).

So Day 1 is not turning out to be the exciting "I can do this" day....in fact I want to quit already and haven't even started.  If this is the easy part I'm never going to make it to week 4.   DAMN....I am usually the great big cheerleader person of any group and this is the most negative post!  Sorry everyone, but I think I'm in the wrong group!!

By the way, you will probably see me say "GACK" a lot!  It's my favorite word for things that I either don't feel good about or situations that are less than ideal.   Right now I'm saying a great big GACK to Day 1.....seeing my pictures just felt horribly bad!
