Hey all.
I know that I haven't been on here in a long, L.O.N.G. time.. So, here's an update on my life. I currently weigh 224 lbs. (when I weighed in this morning).. I had gotten down to 220 after a bout of serious stomach flu, but then had a tough time keeping it off as most of it was water weight. I kept 3 lbs off however! Yay!
As I believe I've mentioned before, my ultimate goal weight is 160 lbs. That means I have about 60ish lbs to lose. With that being said, I would like to update my short term goals.
1. Lose 2 lbs a week.
2. Work out for at least 20 min. 6 days a week.
3. Eat better (more fruits and vegetables. no fried foods. etc.)
4. Run for 15 minutes at least once a week working on decreasing time and increasing stamina in preparation for running my first 5k on July 5th.
5. I will blog here at least once a week.
With these new goals, it would make the date to reach my goal weight January 26, 2014. That would mean I'd be pretty stinking close by Christmas.. 10 lbs away exactly. This is if I don't ever gain and meet my 2 lb weight loss every week. So, to factor in realistic expectations of not meeting weight loss goals every week and possible holiday set backs as well as the fact that losing weight gets harder as you go along.. My goal is to get down to 160 lbs or less by my 24th birthday. That is March 15, 2014.
Wish me luck. Send me prayers. Encourage me tons. This will be a long journey of 6 - 8 months. Your help and encouragement is always lovely to hear.
Until next time,
Liz
Hey Liz, Andrea Gressman is starting a 'group' weight loss thingy, called The Beautiful Life. It gives you a list of things you can eat, and has some rules to it. But we are in groups and get points for things, so it's sort of a competition, and accountability at the same time. That works best for me! :)
