Introduction
ok, so initially my Goal was to “lose 7lbs by the end of the year [2008]”...clearly, that didnt happen. but then i figured, if i choose to change my life style by “dieting” then its already the WRONG way to try and stay healthy and MAINTAIN this. so, instead i have removed the initial Goal, and changed it to “Lose Weight and Be Healthy”.
right, so i didnt lost any weight last year…in fact, i might’ve even put on a pound or five! grrr…which wasnt the plan! so, i sat down and really thought hard about wanting to check this goal off my list, and doing it the RIGHT way! im mentally and emotionally prepared for this trip, and will try posting something on here (as i dont have an official “blog”) everyday.
what i need to explain to everyone, is that i am not overweight. my BMI (Body Mass Index), even indicates that i am a “healthy” weight according to my height. (I am 5’7 and weigh 150 lbs/10st 8lbs). This goal is for me to be more healthy, and if i lose weight during this healthy living, so be it. i have some area’s i’d like to “tone up”, so hopefully i can manage to do this through my healthy living lifestyle.
Weigh In
im going to weigh myself every monday morning from tomorrow (05/01/09), and hopefully watch my weight go down and feel myself toning up. i have my healthy eating in order (all the crappy food has beenremoved from my home, and i have bought all healthy food).
BreakFast
my main “wrong doing” is that i skip breakfast, and then by lunch feel i need to eat an extra big lunch, seeing as i didnt have a breakfast! that is stopping as of tomorrow! i have semi-skimmed milk and cereal and fruits and low-fat yoghurts, so my kitchen is filled a’ plenty with healthyness!
Fitness
not so sure how the “fitness” part is going to fit into my whole “healthyliving” schedule, as i “dont feel i have the time”. clearly this is a lie, and im just using this as an excuse because when i get home, im sitting infront of the tv doing NOTHING, indulging my mind with crap, and just being lazy…so, im going to start with the eating for now…then i shall start experimenting with different methods of exercise.
Picture Blog
also, i need to keep a picture blog too, so will post a picture of me sometime soon. i dont actually have a camera as of yet – the old one broke just before christmas, and i am in the process of buying another one, so the first picture i post may be about 10days after i post this.
Ok, so im ending this “introduction” to my Healthy Living Goal for now. i will be back to post a note on this tomorrow evening.
Good luck to anyone who also has a similar goal!
