It's so hard to start...

I find the hardest thing is to START and stay consistent.  I keep thinking that the only way I can truly change is by STICKING to the plan.  I think this has to be more about a lifestyle change and not a quick fix to my health problems.  There's a great objective here:  Being healthy to have a baby.  My PCOS cannot be cured, but at least I can reduce the severity of some my symptoms and this will improve my chances. 

I've always been a little overweight and I've only had a few times in my life that I could call myself skinny.  This would be: the summer I was 18 and the year I was 21---the only times I was actually slim.  After I got married I gained a lot of weight...like 50 lbs in a 2 yr span.  I would say some of it was wishful thinking that the extra pounds could mean "pregnancy", but this was really naive of me.  My comfort "eating" was just me being stressed.  So, the weight kept piling on...an average of 10 lbs a year.  The only time I had some significant weight loss was...wow...I think it was 7 years ago when I lost 15 lbs after a regimen of running 3 times a week and juicing a few times a week.  So, any time I have ever lost significant weight it has been with a combo of diet change and exercise increase. 

I did some necessary changes to my daily schedule, so I have more time to concentrate on priorities....one of them being my health.  So, today I went for a 40 min walk and ate an apple.  That's my effort for today...hope to repeat tomorrow. Let this be this be the beginning of sticking to the plan!!!
