Okay, I'm new to blogging but wanted to use it as a tool to keep me accountable. Accountable for what you may ask? Accountable for my weight loss. I'm planning a big trip next spring to Walt Disney World. I was at first concerned about being able to ride the rides at my weight. I didn't want to spend all that money and then not be able to ride any of the rides. So I decided to do something about it. Of course, after doing hours and hours and hours of research, I've learned that just about anyone, no matter what your size, can ride just about all the rides at Disney. In other words, Disney World is very "Pooh" friendly. Okay, so then after doing all that research, I've also learned that I can expect to do a ton of walking -- as in miles and miles in one day. So now my focus has changed from being able to ride the rides to being able to survive a day at Disney were I will no doubt have to walk forever.
Preparing for the "World" is not my only purpose for losing this weight. For right now, it's just one of my goals. I need to do this for my health. I had a very minor heart attack in June of 2010 and that should have been a wake-up call at that time. I had absolutely no risk factors other than being overweight. However, it has taken me over a year to reach the point where I'm ready and willing to do something about it.
I've been on this weight loss plan for exactly nine days and I'm off to a good start, I hope. I'm determined to conquer this one obstacle in my life and be able to do all the things I've always wanted to, but never did because of my weight. Wish me luck!
