I also went grocery shopping tonight and bought all kinds of fresh veggies and fruits along with lean meats and whole wheat bread and pasta.
i'm so very serious about changing my lifestyle from this day forward.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Keep up with eating right! Especially since the Seasons of Sugars are about to begin (ie, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas= food!) Portion control was my best way of loosing. Hardest when you go out to eat, but just look at your plate and decide to take home half of it. Good luck!
