Let's Do This
So I know it has been forever, but I'm trying to get serious about this again. Lots of cleaning and prepping to do today, so this entry won't be very informative but rather I'm going to share the e-mails I've been having with my mom.
-------
Okay Im getting serious about this weight loss stuff again, I mean really serious. I know the past two years I've just thrown it to the side as things get tough emotionally and I just want to give in. But I'm tired of allowing myself to not have any control over anything. I'm tired of never fully accomplishing what I have set in mind, never reaching the finish line.
Are you with me?
I'm 203 today (January 06, 2009) and my goal date is for July 19th - the Sunday before my 24th birthday. I can get to 150 by then (about 2 lbs a week) but I'm mostly aiming for 160. I will make goal weights for each holiday and weigh in every week on Sunday (maybe eventually every two weeks).
I'm already making graphs and charts and I'm ready for this. I want to be healthy in all ways so I'm making many goals. But I just want to let you know that I'm really ready to start taking this seriously again.
I'm going to start blogging, July 19th is exactly two hundred days from New Year's eve/day so my blog is called "In Two Hundred Days". I'm going to really do this. I can't keep letting myself down.
Do you want me to bust your balls too? I'm tired of us all being unhealthy. Sick of it. I've already started keeping track today of everything I eat, and I'm going start all over.
Once you read this and if you are ready to vow a commitment to me and yourself (and everyone else) we will discuss numbers and goals.
----------------------------------
Okay I've entered all your information into my charts and all that. Our first mini goal is for MLK day, I know it isn't far but I thought maybe we could make non-number goals to commit to until that date (the 19th). Also, I know Jade's birthday is that previous Friday and I have a birthday party that weekend so I want a reason for us to stay on track (if you end up celebrating Jade's) and know we're counting on each other.
MLK Goal Weights:
CD: 199
Mom: 292
My goals/habits I want to maintain and keep until that date are: brushing my teeth every night, going to bed by 1am at latest, tracking all food, and I want to exercise at least 3 times each week.
What are yours?
Our next goal will be Groundhog Day which is February 2nd (195 me, 288 you).
I ate brownie yesterday even though I was really trying hard not to. It wasn't even good brownie! We used banana because we didn't have an egg and it didn't look cooked so it got overcooked and was all gunky gooey and hard. The good news is that I only had some of it (though I can't measure how much exactly since it was all weird) and I had celery with a little little bit of cream cheese afterwards and that’s it. Usually I snack all day long and I didn't do that. I've been refilling my tea with hot water and using the same bag with no extra sugar so I'm definitely drinking more too which is good. I didn't work out but I did do calisthenics while watching tv n- sit ups, leg lifts, running in place, etc. Today I'm going to clean a lot. The day before Chris and I did DDR together and I tried to do eyetoy but it doesn’t really work well in our living room.
His dad is coming tomorrow supposedly so I will be VERY tempted as I know we'll probably go out to eat a few times and buy goodies. Please mom, please please please give me the strength to not give in. If I can make it through the next few days with him here, I will finally know that I am on the track to success again. I have to make rules and stand by them. Both of us do. If one bite leads to another and another, should we even allow that one bite? They do say sugar are addictive and I believe it.
Okay sorry so long but I want us to take this seriously, it is important VERY important. I don't want to lose you or dad. Please.
