Stronger, faster, more motivated!
Okay, so, like most control freaks, I know that any control we think we have over our lives is an illusion. Also, like most OCD control freaks, I do best when my illusion of control is kept strong by check-off lists, attainable goals, and good health. And so, this morning I decided upon a new goal, with a deadline and everything. As many of you know, I do weight watchers, though I've been pretty spotty at it of late. Tonight, I am going back to my monday night meetings, and as of last friday, I have returned to the gym. My goal is to be at my goal weight by July, which means roughly 2 pounds a week, with a bit of wiggle room to lose less. My reward for success? A bikini. That I'm gonna wear in front of people and everything. Bring your shades, because I'm that pale.
I plan to hit the gym at least twice a week, and one fighter practice a week (more is fun, but it does make for a hectic week), and my Sunday walk with pandoramianche and rustedsigns . The only huge challenges I see that will be unavoidable will be the AOKP 30th weekend, and my birthday, in late may. However, since this isn't a big birthday, I'm not super worried, and will probably only wind up partying once for it, as opposed to my week of revelry for my 21st, hehe. So yeah, that is the goal. Wish me luck and lasting motivation, and knock on wood for me that I don't somehow break myself, preventing exercise. *knocks as well* I'd like to try to post once a week with a weight change for the week, as well as any trials and tribulations that I overcame or that overcame ME. Perhaps that will keep me slightly more motivated as well. :) So yeah, that's how it is.
And a quick update, everything else is going well. I still love my new roommate, my cute little pet rat is getting healthier every day, and my relationship is still bringing me huge quantities of happiness, from all the people involved in it. :) In other news, I've been seeing a NEW BOY! :D Yeah, he's dreamy. My mom is coming out in early June, right after Potrero, so it'll be nice to see her on my turf. Dad is doing well, hasn't had any health scares recently that he's told me about. AOKP is chaos, but I still want to hug the majority of the people, and strangle a small minority, so as long as that ratio holds, I think all will be fine. Oh, and also, I want to play outside today, because it's sunny and warm. *mental frolick*
