PM:I am getting used to navigating the site. I have recorded my food today and that is a good start. Although, I ate tons of Thanksgiving leftovers. I am not going to be too hard on myself. I am here, getting to know this site and what I need to do to succeed, that should be enough for the first day. My goal for tomorrow is to watch what I eat and try to get some green check marks.
I should make a goal to start working out, but I feel so fat and bloated from Thanksgiving and today, so I will make my goal to start working out on Monday. Hopefully I am recovered from all of my food abuse and can get on the treadmill. I need to really do this. I am 35 years old and feel like 65. My feet hurt all the time and I am missing out on activities that I would normally do, but I am too embarrassed to be seen in public. I have gained 15lbs a year for several years, adding up to almost 100. I say it crept up on me, but in reality, I should have been doing something about it after the first, second or third year of gaining. I also feel responsible for having an overweight child. He is not morbidly obese....yet....but if we let these bad habits go, I see no other result.
He likes to respond to forums and blogs, so if you see BEAR123, give him a shout! He is a great kid. I am going to try to help him get a picture uploaded.


AM:
I just joined along with my 14 year old son Bear. This is the first day that Bear and I are signed up for Calorie King. He is liking the program so far. He likes that he can communicate with people. He is also learning a lot by reading through his lessons. I hope he keeps his enthusiasm.

I can't help but feel responsible for his weight issues. I have my own. Together we will change our habits and lifestyle starting today. I am proud of us.
