My focus is simple - to lose enough weight so that my summer clothes fit. We are going to Washington DC this summer for Nationals for dance, and I want to be able to wear my cute summer clothes. I weighed this morning exactly what I weighed on January 1st. Gross! At that weight, not only do my cute clothes NOT fit, but I am going to have to go shopping to buy all new clothes. Not happening.
So, this morning, Neil and I got up at 5 am and went for a 30 minute run (left us plenty of time to get back before the kids got up.) I am tired tonight, but feel good about myself. We also have eaten grilled chicken and salads for the past 2 days, along with fruits for snacks and Special K for breakfast.
The goal - 20 pounds by June 30th. 10 weeks, 2 pounds a week. Neil would like to lose 30, which is easy for him whe he tries. Wish us luck!!
Yay for getting back on the wagon! Cheering you on!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I started today too. I am miserable and disgusted that I have gained almost all of the 60 lbs I lost 3 years ago back. Over the last 3 years, I have changed jobs 3 times and have gained 12-15 lbs each time. I also started a doctoral program that has done its due diligence as well. I have allowed everything and everybody to have control over my health and well being except ME. It is way past time for me to take back what is mine. I will keep you posted.
