A day of firsts
Today was my first Doctors appointment of the year. Also... my first pap and breast exam. AWKWARD! She kept trying to reassure me that she wasn't putting anything big or weird in there... but that wasn't my issue. My issue was... she didn't buy me dinner. I just don't like the idea of the first person to ever see me being a woman twice my age feeling my boobs and sticking Q-tips in my vagina. Call me crazy.
I also had my first HPV shot today and will have another one two months from now, and another one four months from that. WooT.
Also! So me of you know I've been trying to loose weight (and save money) by packing healthy lunched for myself everyday.
Next step is to work out. I've lost 8lbs since I began packing lunches and it's time to kick it up a notch.
Most people who have known me or read my journal for the last few years know that my weight is a constant issue and has been a life long struggle for me. I've pretty much tried every diet out there and I've been active, but for some reason I can't seem to manage my weight. Over the past year I've become a lot less active, and it shows. I'm going to begin working out a MINIMUM of a half hour a day, five days a week. My goal is to loose 95lbs by this time next year. I know that sounds like a lot of weight, it seems like a lot to me too... but according to the chart my doctor gave me... losing 95lbs will put me smack in the middle of the healthy weight zone according to my height. In the interest of not turning into some weight obsessed crazy, I have also decided that if I become happy with my size before I reach my target weight, I will stop there. Weight isn't everything.
So! I stole this nifty little ticker from a friends journal and am planning on employing it to track my weight loss. I'm also hoping that posting this in my public journal will keep me interested in doing this. So that everyone can see my progress. I will now post a few pictures so you get an idea of my size. Along with my stats, which I will be updating once a month. For a year. So... 12 posts with my weight and pictures once a month to catalog my progress. Here we are. Number One:
These are the most recent pics of my I have.
Things to note:
Flabby/chunky arms. Extra chin. Giant knockers. These are my main concerns and hope to see them shrink over the next year.
My stats:
I'm 5'2'', I weigh a shocking 217lbs (after losing 8lbs these past couple months), I wear a size 16/18 in most cases. My bra is a 42 DDD (if my boobs don't shrink to a C cup or smaller by the end of this I plan on getting a reduction. These monsters have been the bane of my existence since I was in 6th grade and I'm sick of it!)
My ticker!
