May 1st - the starting line

May 1st: 

AM scale reading :  164 pounds (I know it's bad for 5'1... but funny enough, not as bad as I thought !)

Wake up feeling : not too bad... a bit stiff, but overall not a bad morning

I decided that yesterday would be day 1 of my quest.  1st of the month always makes for a good start to any goal or project.

Unfortunately May 1st also included a big family celebration with lots (and lots) of food and desserts. Although I did indulge more than I should have, all things considered I did ok.  Could not resist the tripple chocolate cheesecake or the sugar cookies.  I did manage to stop at a small slice of cake and only one sugar cookie.  

That said, I am convinced that sugar is a big contributer to joint stiffness, and low and behold, today (May 2nd), I woke up feeling extremely stiff in my joints.

Thankfully I am off work to day and have already done 20 minutes of stationary bike (which always helps).
