Week 1 - Starting now

I decided to start fresh. Put all the frustrations caused by the prednisone behind me.

So I'm starting today. Monday.

My goals for Week 1:

Walk at least .5 miles a day.
Drink at least 64 ounces of water.
Get in at least 20 minutes a day on the elliptical.
Keep a food journal


I'm starting out slow with the walking until my body adjusts to it. No matter which way we walk around the house we end up having to walk up a somewhat steep hill at some point. This will be great in a few weeks, but right now my body is screaming at me because of it.

I drink a lot of water now, but I haven't been keeping track of it. Same with the food.

With my appetite out of control, I switched to eating salads when the hunger pains strike (this is a side effect of my medicine and the scleroderma). I figure if I have to give in and eat something, I'd eat something I wouldn't pay for later.

I'm also looking for some different games for the Wii. I have the Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, but I'm looking for other games to keep things interesting. There's where you all come in. I want recommendations. What you like, didn't like, or what you'd like to try.
