Time to lose weight....

....or as my physics teacher at BYU would say, time to lose mass. I've needed to lose weight for awhile, but I finally think I have the motivation to do it. First motivation - my sister signed up for Team in Training and completed a marathon last year. A marathon! Then my brother has gotten into cycling and is going to participate in a diabetes ride. There's a third reason, but I'm going to keep that private for now (Kelley might know).

So my plan is to lose at least 50 pounds by the time I go to Hawaii. That's about 10 pounds a month. I signed up for 24 Hour Fitness today, and I really want to sign up for Team in Training, doing a triathlon. That's probably in the future, but I do enjoy cycling and swimming, and I guess I should do running too.

I've already given up soft drinks, and now I'm going to give up fast food and prepared food. I need to get better at cooking anyway.

I know it won't be easy, but I really need to do it to work on my own self confidence, and to prevent diabetes and other diseases from getting me. And sheesh, I can't ride on Roar at Discovery Kingdom anymore. I love that ride!
