I lost the will power for a long time, a really long time, but now it’s time to get my shit together. I’m sick of people calling me a mess and saying that my life is just unorganized. I don’t want that anymore.
Today is the second of the month. I want to lose 10 pounds by the end of july. I think that if I just work at it I can do it. It’ll take a lot of determination though. I have been staying up till all hours in the morning and waking up at about 2 pm. That needs to change. I’ve always had a vision of me being able to go to sleep early, wake up at six, and go for a run. One of those people, athletic.
Here are my stats, yet again.
Height: 5’8.5”
Weight: 123.5
Here’s my goal: I don’t want to be bony, I just want to get rid of the fat that’s resting on my thighs and on my stomach, I want to be toned and thin.
How I plan to do it: Cutting back calories, running at LEAST 3 times a week, elliptical on days that I do not run.
The Rules:
-No junk food, at all. If I even PUT something unhealthy into my mouth, it always becomes a binge fest.
(What qualifies as junk food, you ask? Pizza, chocolate, anything that is “candy”, chips, popcorn (the type with all the fake butter), anything that would be considered unhealthy, you know the drill)
- Organic whenever possible, but not necessary
- No soda! Water only, or unsweetened iced tea.
- Drink 8 glasses of water a day. That translates into 4 poland spring water bottles
- Full fat milk is a no-no. Only skim is allowed.
- Alchohol is permitted, just only Light Beer/ Liquor, and not too often
- No sugar substitutes are allowed, because they wreak havoc on your body, but sugar should be used scarcely.
- No “cheating days”, they only mess up your diet.
- Aim for at least an hour of physical activity a day. (That could be walking through town, but at least 30 minutes must be intense, as in running or biking or elliptical)
- Track all the calories that come into my body.
- Track the liquid calories as well!
My Plan: Tomorrow I am going to wake up early and go for a run (3.6 miles), then I am going to shower and get dressed and go shopping for healthy food. If anyone has any recommendations for healthy snacks, I’d love to hear them!
Thanks for any support guys, I know we can do this,
xoxo, H.
