Goals for this year
The big goal this years is to: LOSE 120+ Pounds. And one way or another it's going to happen.
I've been on the waiting list for Bariatric surgery now for over 2 years, and there is a 2 year waiting list, so I'm certain my date is going to be coming sometime in the near future.
And in improving that one area of my own appearance, I'm aiming to continue that push and again put forward the most professional self I can. It should be easier after the first 30 pounds or so are lost, as None of my 'nice clothes' fit anymore.
It should be noted, that none of this is optional, and none of this is a new years resolution. IT's been something i've been actively working towards over the last 6 months. In quitting Cola/Pop, and Energy drinks previously for several months in a row, I proved to myself I can do difficult things, and improve myself little steps at a time.
Well, this Operation TestRun, is a 32 day presurgery trial. You see, prior to surgery I'm required to lose 10% of my body mass through a Protien Shake diet for several weeks. I know that it is difficult, but after the first week the hunger goes away.
Essentially I'm doing the same, but with a personal blend of vitamins, fibre, protien shakes, ensuring i hit my nutritional needs, and that other then caloric intake I'm still being relatively healthy about it.
1 day down. 31 to go. Then It's my birthday, which, as these are MY RULES, is a free for all day. I imagine it'll be little more then a slice of pie, and an order of Lasagna at ESM, but who knows at this point. I may end up sticking with it for another month.
