obligatory first post stuff

in the past few weeks, i've hit 180 pounds. this is the most i've ever weighed and the most i ever hope to weigh unless i gain some during a far-in-the-future pregnancy.
i feel unhealthy but i continue to eat whatever i want. i eat out with friends a lot but now would be the perfect time to eat better since i'm pretty low on funds.
i enjoy exercise but tend to drag my feet before actually doing it. two days ago i rode the exercise bike for 30 min (343 cal) and walked for @ 3 mph for 30 min (160 cal) but i haven't done anything since. i feel good (and tired) when i'm done but i just don't seem to get around to it.

that being said, i am embarking on a weight-loss journey. one that will not be an all-or-nothing event but one that will help me with better habits for the rest of my life. i'm not anticipating a fast loss of pounds nor will i expect to lose weight by sitting on my butt. i have to use a combination of exercise and smart food choices. no magic pills. i know this. everyone else should too.
this blog is my way of keeping myself accountable. it's bridget jones-ish but not. i'm going to track my weight, exercise and other assorted things on it.
