So its day two and I am a bit excited about this blog. I tend to be that way with new things!! I decided to change the name of the blog today...I wanted something a bit more catchy...so I added 35 and Counting to the beginning of my blog title. Sounds like the name of a television show.
I wanted to add another goal to my list and this is a goal that I have been working on for a long time. I restarted my Weight Watchers program today--it is like take 5,559. No really, it is!! As I mentioned before, I have a hard time sticking to things that are directly related to me and as a result this weight loss/get healthy journey has been very, very long.
I am in a wedding in September and at the beginning of the year my goal was to lose 50 pounds by September. I started going to the gym, hired a trainer, determined that my goal was realistic and I was on my way. Well, four months and two trainers later, I am starting again. I did good while I had the trainer...I actually lost some inches and definitely built muscle--the pounds didn't exactly melt away but I did feel a difference in the way my clothes felt. Great indicator!! But at the beginning of March, my second trainer of the year left the gym and well....so did I. There went working out and Weight Watchers too.
Now it is April 22nd...a month and a few days later and I am starting again or maybe better stated..I am picking up where I left off. I actually did pretty good today...I tracked my food, I ate fruits and veggies and I drank my water. I didn't however, exercise. But maybe tomorrow. Although I will consider today the day that I resumed my journey, I must adjust my goals ever so slightly. So I believe that if I stick with my program and exercise, I can lose 30 pounds by the time this wedding happens in mid September.
Goal #2
Lose 30 pounds by September 1, 2010
How I plan to do it...
1. Exercise 3-4 times per week.
2. Cook at home more.
3. Eliminate fast food. I did this for Lent and was successful.
4. Plan meals for the week and cook in advance.
5. Track, track, and track again.
One Day Down....many, many more to go!! If I can lose these 30 lbs, the rest will be a slam dunk. Well almost!
By the way, I did nothing to declutter and get my house in order today. I have high hopes for tomorrow!!

Namaste!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is wonderful, I hope to keep up so I can be blessed and perhaps even a blessing on your journey. I too need to shed a few pounds and I know we have spoken before, but perhaps we really need to look into how we can get together - or just keep each encouraged.
The food and water is a great start - do not be discouraged, keep it up!!
