Day 1 joined a Gym

I have decided to make another hugh commitment, joining the dreaded gym.  I need to find a place where I can exercise and begin my process of losing 100 + pounds.  I always thought my self  of over weight but never would consider the O word.  No it’s not Oprah but Obese.  Clinically I have realized that I am clinically considered obese and that is something I don’t want to be.  I know if I had my exercise it would be easy to drop the weight when I was in Japan, I had lost 50 lbs from bike riding and just eating more veggies, less bread and potatoes and more fish and more liquids whether it came in a soup or tea form.  Over the next few years I will try to lose my goal weight, and maintain it.  I know it’s possible but I want to know that I can maintain it.  It will hurt my pocket book more because I am investing in the gym and since it’s so close to work and home, I have no excuses to not use it.  It’s exciting to know that I have made the first step.  Now I need to commit and lose the weight.  I know that I can never be the super skinny but I know there is weight to lose and realizing I need to do this for myself is good as well.  “Hello, my name is Laura and I am obese.  I know I need help and starting on St Patty’s day I am going to start.Also watching the Biggest Loser for the last few years I realize that with my excersising at home plus going to the gym will only help me in the long run.  I need to challenge my self to lose 100 pounds by my 30^th birthday in 18 months.  So the challenge begins!
