I have to start somewhere. I am 90 lbs overweight. I'm over 40, 5'1" and have PCOS.

I know how to eat a balanced diet from years of reading, gestational diabetes and many different tries at eating healthy.

I don't know how to exercise. I'm inconsistent, lack motivation and get plain lazy when it comes to an everyday plan of exercising.

I decided I have had enough. Time to tackle that gremlin of consistent exercise and healthy eating.

Sssstttreeessssss....ssst

Scrap the natural crap. Had to go to the docs today to get a form that says I'm allowed to lift so and so and walked out with a prescription for high blood pressure meds.

I'm am super pissed. I feel like I shot myself in the foot and walked around unaware of the wound. I obviously have too much stress in my life. My body and my heart can't take it anymore. I'm clearing out the stressors.

Starting with no alcohol or caffeine for three months. None, nada, zip, zilch. Crap, going to miss the caffeine.

Added, exercise in the morning. More specifically start with pedaling for a half hour on the stationary bike.

In the afternoon go for a walk for twenty minutes.

That's a good start, yes?

Motivation...

I'm doing it wrong. So I decided to make myself a couple of posters to help me get it right. Which do you like the most? Although the first one makes me laugh, the second one seems more true. Ummm, I would just really like to wear those shoes without my knee trying to give out on me. I have nothing over two inch heels right now.
