My hope, my plan, my prayer!

Okay, I'm a little slow this week, but at least I have good news. I checked my weight yesturday and I'm so happy. I already lost 5lbs! Now I haven't been perfect. Giving up chocolate (specifically candy,) has been difficult and I have a disturbing weakness for coke slurpees, but I am making good progress. Anyway, how about something a little more interesting. My goals.

My first goal is to loss 15lbs by September 1st and I feel that goal is well within my reach. My next one is to loss another 15lbs by November 15th. Which will have my weight at 209. And since I don't know what the holidays will be like, or how emotional I am going to be, I am just going to pray that somehow God helps me to be diligent enough to get down to 200 by January 1. The next goal is to reach my goal weight. At David and my wedding I honestly weighted right around 170lbs. I want to surpass that. My goal weight is 150lbs.

That really isn't that much weigth. It is only 89lbs. And if I lose 6-10lbs a month than I should be more then able to be get down to my healthy weight of 150, by my 25th birthday (June 5th, 2009.) So that is my hope, my plan, my prayer. I know it is going to take hard work and diligence and I'm fine with that. I need and want to be healthy for my kids. Besides if God grants me the patience and ability to do this then I am going to definately reward myself a little. If I reach my goal on or before my birthday then I am going to have a $500.00 shopping spree! I am going to start putting money aside now because I really believe I am going to reach my goal. I'm certainly going to try anyway. Thanks for reading this. I'm sorry if it is boring. It is terribly important to me though! God bless all!

The Breaking Point

That's it, I'm done. 99% of the time the body I see in the mirror is not what I want to see. It isn't healthy, it can't be attractive and lastly I just don't like it. So, here I am again ready to restart my weight loss effort. I am already exercising pretty regularly and I love it. I am loving the Zumba clases at the Y and I bought the girls a bike trailer so we have been going for rides a few times a week. Anyway, the working out is going good. Now the hard part. EATTING RIGHT.

My plan for the whole food thing is to just be realistic. I am not going to cut out Mcdonalds or pizza. I am going to make better decisions and more importantly watch my portions. However, I am cutting out chocolate and pop totally. These are 2 things that I don't need and I can't seem to control my intake. So, that along with some very nice incentives (that I haven't finalized, but will post when I do,) is my personal plan to not just get smaller, but healthier. And since I want this blog to be honest and truely help motivtate me I am going to do one of the scariest things an overweight female can do...my true weight at the gym this morning was 239.

My first goal is to lose 15lbs but September 1. If I make it I will enforce my effort some how, but like I said, more on that later. Well, that is all for now. Check in when you have a few minutes. I will update this at least once a week to let you know of any progress. Thanks so much for your support. See ya soon!
