First Post!

Yeah, the title is campy, but hey - it works. I need a place to vent, bitch, and brag about my steps toward weight loss that will actually make me accountable. I've been writing in a journal, but even I don't go back and read the entries later. I've got a private co-blog with a few friends from Weight Watchers but know that a few other friends are on this journey also, though they've chosen a different route. I subscribe to an insane amount of blogs on Google Reader (most of them are wedding planning blogs though I'm not engaged or even dating anyone) and read a fair few of "dieting" or "weight loss" blogs. So call me self-centered or not easily satisfied, but here I am making my own.

I've just finished Week 1 Day 2 of Robert Ullrey's Couch to 5K podcasts...it was harder than Wk1 Day1. Are my muscles still fatigued from two days ago? I went super slow and it super sucked, but I still did it. Because I'm having a hard time with Week 1 (i.e., walking faster than I "run"), I'm thinking about repeating Week 1 twice. I'm gonna go on the interwebs now and check some message boards to see if other people have done this or if I should just stick it out and move on to Week 2.

Here's what I've eaten today:
(I might get all crazy and start posting pictures of what I eat, a la Melissa's Journey)
