I weighed myself the other day on my Grandpa's 50 year old scale (so, who knows if it's right...) and I weighed 210 lbs. I'll find out a legitimate weight tomorrow when I go to see my physical trainer.
My goal weight is 150 lbs. In order to get there, I will have to lose 60 pounds. Which is the same amount as my best fraaan/weight loss buddy/partner in crime needs to lose to get to her goal weight (see Liz's blog here).
Here's the deal:
Deal #1: I'm going to update this blog at least twice a week. It keeps me honest.
Deal #2: I'm going to work out 5 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time.
Deal #3: Lose 2 lbs every week.
Deal #4: I will drink 10 cups of water every day.
Deal #5: No fried foods. None.
Deal #6: I will walk everywhere that can be walked. I can easily walk to the grocery store, Walgreens, church, post office, library, park, bank and my favorite coffee shop.
If I lose 2 lbs every single week I will get to my goal weight by January 21, 2014. However, I'm realistic.. and I know that sometimes losing 2 lbs every week isn't obtainable because I'm a girl... and my birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are all in that time period... so, I'll say by March 4, 2014 I will weigh 150 lbs or less. That's right before my very last spring break.. and 2 months before I FINALLY graduate from college.
I'm going to bust this goal. So, send your positive thoughts and prayers my way. I know I'm going to need them! The next 7 to 9 months are going to be hard ones. I'm going to want to give up. I'm going to want to eat that whole bag of cheetos, candy, or fried cauliflower. Don't let me. Remind me of what I'm working towards. Remind me that I've wanted this my whole life.. and while those things will feel good now, I won't feel good about them later. This has been a long time coming.. but it's here and it's not going away.
Let's do it!
GO FAITH! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ReeRee! :D
DeleteI read it! I'm so proud of you. :-) I know someday you will want to have babies (as you will be an awesome mommy after all the training we've given you!) and being as healthy as possible before that stage of life hits, is the best thing you can do! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm working off my baby weight from Wyatt . . . yeah, he's 6. lol
Hahaha.. I miss you guys so much! Someday when I can get a fews days off I'll come visit you all. I miss my little boyfriend! ;)
Deleteso i have to admit that i read your blog out of order.. however, i'm thinking that.. we need to schedule a trip together after we both meet our goal weights in 2014 yeah? So the summer in Disney that we were already kinda planning would be awesome, but if not feasible we can work something else out... It's perfect! Also, p.s. you're awesome
ReplyDeleteYes! I don't know if Disney is feasible.. that's really expensive. But we'll figure something out! Also.. you're awesome.
