Time to start walking

I just went over and checked on our workout room in the clubhouse. There is a treadmill in there amongst other workout equipment (elliptical, bike, weight machines). I'm going to try to start walking on Wednesday after I take Bayou to doggie daycare. Getting it out of the way first thing would probably work best for me. I don't know how long I can walk for at this point. I'm going to aim for 15 minutes to start out. Hopefully I can do that much. If not, I'll just do what I can. There is a TV in there and I also have an iPod so I won't get bored. I'm going to try to go on the days that Bayou is in daycare (M, W, F). Three times a week for 15 minutes is a good starting point I think. I may be able to do more but I don't want to set myself up to fail. My knee is still sore and I still have a bump on the bottom of my left foot that bothers me (I think it's a stone bruise). I probably need to get a new pair of walking shoes though. I've had mine over a year now. I'll have to see if I can look for a pair somewhere here in town. I could also look online to see if I can get the same ones that I have now. I like them and they are comfortable. I can walk in my old shoes for now. They aren't too bad. I'm a little bit scared of making a commitment to walking. What if I can't do it? What if I am too lazy to do it? I know I just need to get out there and do it. If I think about it I won't ever start. I need to just go over there Wednesday morning and get started. I can do this. It won't be easy but being this heavy isn't easy either. I want to succeed in losing weight. Working out will only help me. I have to believe in myself. It's time to start walking!

I also just made my first cup of tea. I'll drink more water today than I have in the last week. And that's no exaggeration. I really don't drink much at all unless I remind myself to do it. I need to get in those GHG's every day (water, fruits & veggies, dairy, multivitamin, healthy oils, and activity) and right now I'm not getting them in. Taking my vitamin and supplements is like torture to me. I have to force myself to take them. I really need them too but I don't take them. I have to figure out a way to make myself take them every day. I can't wait until I feel like doing it because that day may not come. I need to just do it because it needs to be done. I have to remind myself that I am making progress, as slow as it might be. Baby steps will get me there.
