Journey Begins....I'm Scared

Hello fellow readers. It's time to start a new journey. Now how many times have you heard that from one of your friends or told yourself?! Come on, lets be honest with each other and say I have said that to myself about a thousand times. More times than most I usually quit, get distracted, or find something better or worse to begin. It usually doesn't involve writing my heart out on the Internet, it usually doesn't involve sharing my experience with a great friend to help me through, and it definitely doesn't involve much of a reality check and making goals so they are attainable. I am hoping this experience is different. What I want to do on this blog is write about my journey through food, exercise, bad days, and anything else that pops into my mind. I am also doing this journey with my BFF. We decided to start a blog together and her's is chachisfitjourney.blogspot.com. Sometimes you need a friend to help you through the hard things. Accomplishing challenges alone is scary and unmotivating. I have read some good inspirational blogs recently and one message that stands out the most is "Don't judge yourself on how others are doing, Judge yourself on how you are doing". I think i like that one the best. One blogger wrote about the pressures of how friends were losing the weight so quickly by just eating salad, skipping meals, and exercising several hours a week. WWWHHHAAATTT!! Ummm no thanks to all of that! She said that she took each day as it was. Did not focus on the week or month goals. She focused on walking down the street and back, cutting out soda, and she did not think about what she has to do in 6 months. TOO MUCH PRESSURE! My journey will be similar to her's. I am hoping to stop with all the pressure and just focus on one thing at a time. Here goes nothing......
