DAY 1

Today is the day to start my journey.

Let's see if this works.

My Experiment :
 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 x's a week.  Will it make a difference in my life?

I will give this experiment a try and see what 30 days will do for me.

Current stats:

* 184 pounds
* high blood pressure
* ringing in my ears
* feeling frumpy

Goals:

~ lose weight
~ lower blood pressure
~ stop the ringing in my ears
~ feel healthier

Morning Check in ~
*I had my 2 coffees as usual. Milk & 1 level tsp. sugar.

*I did my 30 minutes on the treadmill. YAY! :-)
I feel now like I can do anything!!! I really feel great that I accomplished the 30 mins.
I almost didn't do it. But I went to Dr. Oz's website as I find it so inspiring.
I looked at some of the pages on his website that interested me, and followed some links to other websites.

I followed DR. OZ on Twitter.
He tweeted about Declutter Tips.

Dr Oz is associated with RealAge's website as noted by his Retweets on various topics.

I found some really good videos on RealAge's website

I'd like to watch these videos while I work out on the treadmill to make the time pass easier and quicker.

Today I found a 30 minute video on youtube that helped the 30 mins whizz by.

Not that I am a Michael Jackson fan, but it was kind of interesting and got the time to fly by.

I grabbed a shower after my work out and hopped in the truck and went to town.

Came home and cleaned the kitchen and watered all the potted plants on the patio. It's a scorching hot day outside today, but I feel really good now that I've done my 30 mins for today. :-)



Afternoon Check in ~

*turkey sandwich 2 thin slices with mayo, butter, 2 sl brown bread
homemade iced tea, lemon, & honey

cleaned bedroom

vaccumed upstairs

Evening Check in ~
