Today begins week 5 for this whole diet and exercise change.
Weight today – 229.8lbs
These last two weeks were not filled with exercise and fun as I had hoped. My spring break was relaxing but all I did was lay around and read. I was really hoping to lay around the pool and read! Unfortunately, south Florida had a odd cold front come though to make it 40 degrees at my parents house. I did well on my diet while I was away. It was arriving home that really did not help. I might have lost more weight if I hadn’t been a pig this past weekend. Yesterday I simply ate my emotions, lol. The only truly redeeming thing about Easter Sunday was that I ended up getting to spend it with M. My dinner plans feel through because…well I don’t want to get into that here. If you knew what my plans were, than I am sure you can guess why they fell through.
Today starts my official count down to summer vacation. We are into 4th quarter and past spring break. THANK GOD! After work today, I have 37 days left. I eagerly await for summer vacation.
I have to really get on the ball with my weight loss these next couple of weeks. I have to go bathing suit shopping next month for my family vacation in June. Today is April 13th….I would like to lose another 4 lbs by the end of the month. It’s all about goals!
After drafting this entry this morning, I read my horoscope…
“Everyday you achieve major victories, whether you realize it or not — so why are you looking for a specific excuse to celebrate? You don’t have to wait for permission — pick a date, find a hot new restaurant you want to try, and then call up your friends for a fun night out. When they ask what the occasion is, simply tell them ‘life.’ Without an official reason, you’re free from the pressures of expectation — and no one will feel guilty or jealous about success.”
My victory (so far) today…getting everything done at work that I needed to..a truly victorious day will end with me at the gym and food store!
Short term goals…
Goal 1 – Week 8 weigh-in (5/4) to be 225 lbs
Goal 2 – Week 12 weigh-in (6/1) to be 220 lbs
Of course goal two can change pending on goal one! If I can achieve goal 2, that would provide a total weight loss of 20.8 lbs in 11 weeks!
