My name is Magz, and I've been pudgy all my life. I've always been a fairly inactive person, I prefer playing games on the computer, reading, writing, and crafting as hobbies, rather than active things like sports. I do enjoy walking, though, especially with my boyfriend, Ian, and my dog, Daisy.

I work in a retail pet store. I'm on my feet a large portion of the day, but it's mostly standing around. I am lucky in that I walk to work most days, so that's about an hour of guaranteed walking 3x per week.

I want to lose weight because I want to live a healthier lifestyle. I'm at a point in my life where I want to feel comfortable being active around my friends. I want to be able to feel comfortable in a bathing suit so i can go to the beach in the summer. I'm also worried about my long term health. I figure now (at 21) is a better time for me to change my habits than when I'm 45 or 60 and I'm staring down a heart attack. I eventually want to have kids, and I want to be able to go outside and play with them. That kind of thing.

July 9/08
Breakfast: 2 poached eggs, 1 slice multi-grain bread, 1/2 cup of apple juice.
Lunch: Maple Dip Donut sweatdrop , grilled chicken salad (~12 grams of fat), sm. Fresca.
Dinner: AYCE Sushi (I don't want to talk about it).
Exercise: 15-20min light walking.


So, not off to a great start. I'm writing everything down anyways so I have a record of my improvement. Usually I'd just omit things that I know will slow down my success (ie: that donut), but if I'm going to make a serious effort about this, I need to be honest with myself.
