Yep, I did it. I got back on the treadmill today. I went a little over a mile in a half hour and even though it was not a long time or distance, it still made me feel good. I decided that I am just not going to push it too far like I have before, and plus I really don't want to re-injure my left ankle. So I figure I just start out nice and slow and pick up the pace as I go along, and add in other exercises too. I didn't gain the weight overnight and I won't lose it overnight, so I am going to just try and take it one day at a time.
The one thing I need to do though is make some kind of logbook and log in what I've done as far as exercise, what I've eaten, calories, weight, etc, so I can keep track of that sort of thing, so I can see my (hopefully) progress. Tomorrow I am going to look online and see if there is anything like that that I can print out and make into a binder for myself. I have seen actual books like that at the bookstore but not for exactly what I want to put in it, so I figure I'm going to just have to make my own if I can't find any on the computer.
But at least I have finally taken that first step. May 2013 be THE year I get thin. Wish me luck!
