Yikes only one month till the big day!! The last two weeks are a complete write off - I was 1.6 pounds away from my goal and I blew it - big time!
Now it's time to get it back and if I work really hard I might be able to make my goal of 140 by August 5th. The big day is August 7th but we are having the rehearsal party August 5th so I would like to reach my goal by that date. I also have my first doctor's appointment that morning and I haven't had a family doctor since I was 8 years old so I'm really excited to finally have one and not have to sit 2 hours in a walk in clinic anymore. I want to make sure I'm 100% healthy in the next year because we plan to start baby making next June.
Ok here's a little about me for any new readers:
I'm 27 years young and will be 28 in August - I love being a leo.
I'm 5'6 and recently got down to 141.6 - I'm not sure where I am at now because I'm too afraid of the scale but it feels like I've gained 10 pounds. My clothes are tight, my belly is loose and my sugar cravings are through the roof.
I was 224 pounds at my highest that I ever braved the scales - I'm sure it was higher because I was dieting for 2 weeks on my own before I finally signed up for Weight Watchers. That was in 2003 - I managed to get down to 180 and then gave up for a while and got back up to 206. Went back on the program a few times and got down to 160 in 2008 for my sisters wedding. Again lost interest in living healthy and went back up. In August 2009 I joined WW again and have been steadily on the program since then however my membership just ran up and I'm debating to join again. I like the accountability of weighing in and the flexibility of the plan however money is tight since we are paying for the wedding and I'm going to work hard the next couple weeks and try to be accountable on my own.
I know what to do and how to do it and it's time to just DO IT! The next problem for me is going to be maintaining because I have a track record with getting really comfortable where I am and throwing in the towel and gaining weight back really quickly because of how bad I am with binging. I need to learn to find balance.
Ok so last night I went grocery shopping and stocked up on only healthy things! I woke up this morning and went on the treadmill for 30 minutes - I wasn't ready to start running again so I just did 4.3 mph and incline 6 and burned 300 calories roughly. I have my gym bag packed but I don't plan to start kettle bell again till Saturday. I just want to go and do some of the weights and maybe the eliptical or spin bike.
My plan is healthy eating, lots of exercise and lots of water!
My hunnie has two weekends in July planned for bachelor parties so I plan to be really good those weekends and just make sure to get lots of exercise. I don't have any parties or outings planned till the rehearsal so I should have no excuses!! 140 here I come!!
