Go, me!

So I'm determined to lose at least 20 pounds this year [I'd like to lose a little more but I'm not setting a specific ideal for how much because I don't want to be disappointed if I don't reach it]

I'm a creature of mostly sedentary habits so I'm begining with baby steps:
Drink more water and switch to diet soda and iced tea.
Nothing but water after 8 pm.
No junk sweets- fresh fruit and low carb yoghurt instead.
Get some kind of exercise, even if it's just dancing to a song on the radio

So I got on the scale yesterday [Brave of me, I know] and was pleasantly surprised to see that I've lost five pounds already!Not bad for only changing my lifestyle about a week ago. Yeah, babysteps!
