Hey guys!!
First post and I'm nervous about actually putting this in black and white!
I Need to lose 25 Lbs.
* Boo * * Hiss* *Cheer *
There it is... not so bad in comparison to others amazing and inspiring goals/acheievements .
But for whatever reason saying those words out loud feel like i just said " I'm going to climb Mt. Everest Naked and on one foot !"
I'm not sure why... it's so odd.
I have had weight " issues " "problems" Disorders" "complexes" whatever you'd like to call them, lost weight, gained weight, lost TOO much weight, was kinda normal ( a word to use with careful consideration ) for awhile etc. but for some reason it always haunts me. I love food, healthy food I have very much learned to appreciate ( thank the gods... no shortage of vegetable and fruits in my fridge
I'm also a vegetarian which in it self lends a certain extra "attention" to what I eat and the nutrients I feed my body on a day to day basis. ( not to imlpy every veg is that way but... in the recent months 1/4 pounds , 1/2 pounds and then finally " Pounds plural " have snuck their way onto my unsuspecting body and today I woke up and said " Hey!? when the heck did you guys show up??" well, it didn't exactly go that way but you get the idea. I'm sure some would laugh and say ... What are you talking about you look great! It's not always how you look though... it can be how you feel... I feel unfit, and I'm so tired yet don't sleep well. I'm not as happy as I usually a mand I get headaches more often and ( had to throw this in ) my most favourite awesomest jeans are so tight my face turns blue and I pass out before I even get them off the hanger to try them on anyway.... the nitty gritty facts of life...
I am 5 foot 8 inches
I weigh 155 Lbs
I Will weigh 130 Lbs
My goal date is -> 3 months from tomorrow ( Feb 17 )
And you may ask how will I do this ??
well... the grand ol' scheme includes running ( which I HATE because It makes me feel old and out of breath. BUT I just know I can lean/force myself to love it )
Yoga... Lots of it ( I'm actually in school to be a Yoga teach... graduate in May 2012... another reason for this " naked journey up everest" I want to be a fit amazing teacher so I can motivate others by being a living example of what I believe in.... you know... practice what I preach and it be OBVIOUS )
I will keep a journal here on WLF
I also will do some swimming
and strength training.... I love the bodyrock.tv videos... thinking about giving them a try...
I'm also trying to do this without getting suckered into joining a gym... ( I have been a member of countless gyms ) I go for a month or 2 at the most religiously and then get soooo bored of staring at the wall, the same people, listening to the same music and walking down the same street to the same gym that I stop suddenly and make up every excuse in the book to never ever go back.
It's terrible and a perfect example of my generations need to be entertained at all times.
Oh well...
Moving on!
I will do this.. I just need to summon "The Will" from deep within me and make all these words fall off the page and become real time living actions.
