foreverHoping

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,

I haven’t been going to bed till 6 am because its summer. For some reason I just stay up all night. I need to define this better though. I want to go be asleep by 10:30 every night for 15 days. That’s when I will have this down pat. These days have to be consistant though. I’m starting today. Wish me luck!

I have been reading a lot, and though I put Mythology to the side, I finished a few books from the library that I took out. I have since returned them :D. Tomorrow I will have a brand new, amazing book to completely sink my teeth into… BREAKING DAWN!!!! AHHH!

I am so excited I can hardly contain it!!!! Yes, folks, for those who don’t know, the brand new book in the “Twilight” Series by Stephanie Meyers is coming out… tomorrow at Midnight! My friends and I are going to our local Barnes and Noble to line up and get the book at exactly midnight… Exciting, right?! We’re having an un-official party, with about 13 hardcore Twilight fans, to celebrate.

Does anyone else read these books? (Twilight, that is) Is anyone else completely PSYCHED!? Fellow fans, please leave your comments, telling me that I am not totally overreacting!

xoxo, H.
