I have to get this weight off

I am the heaviest I have ever been ( a whopping 295lbs, I look it so why be ashamed to say it except for the fact I let myself get this heavy) and I can't take it anymore. I am so unhealthy. Starting today I am going to do better. If I can beat drugs I can beat this. I woke up this morning and went to the work out room and walked the hill option on the treadmill for 25 mins and did two miles on the bike, and yesterday I spent about 1 1/2 hours in the pool. It's not much but it's a start. I have a number in my head of how much I want to lose and by when. I am not going to tell anyone because I want this to be my thing. I will be accountable if I don't work out, eat better, and reach that goal. I am to lazy and I need to kick that bad habit in the butt. I think I will alternate my work out to were I won't get tired of the same old thing. I'm thinking alternating days. One day exercising in the pool and the next exercising in the workout room. And when we are no longer here at the hotel I will just have to come up with my own work out routine to do in our apartment. Maybe to get myself use to that idea I will find some simple workouts to do in the morning when I get up before I start getting ready for class and for before I go to bed. Yoga maybe? I've been more interested in trying that out lately. Maybe if I get this weight off it will help with my blood pressure and these dang migraines. If not, oh well it was worth a try. So here's my plan: 1. Exercise daily for at least (starting out) a half hour (alternating between swimming and working out) 2. Eat healthier 3. Eat smaller portions 4. Drink more water, less tea (oh my weakness) 5. (TRY) to cut out sweets and replace them with some fresh fruit. Instead of eating a candy bar/cookie I'll eat an orange or another fruit. 6. Do stretches/yoga in the morning before I start getting ready for class and before I go to bed. 7. Weigh in once a week (if possible) to track my progress So I have shared my starting weight. I may post periodically what my weight is so you all will see what kind of progress I'm making. *side note, I need to get a scale lol. May have to snap a picture of the weight and text it to someone so they can tell me what it says since I won't be see it. Well I'm off to search the web for some yoga moves for plus size me :) Onwards and Upwards! I will conquer this! As of 4/27/2013 295 lbs
