Lose 15 more pounds (read all 7 entries…)
It's Always the Same

I’m still trying to get my weight down to 130. I haven’t really been putting in any effort toward this goal, but I’m feeling energetic this week so, hey, why not lay down a brand new plan of attack?

I’ve decided it’s beetter not to look at the big picture. Maybe I’ll make more progress if I break this big goal down into smaller, more manageable ones. So, I’m going to aim to lose 5 pounds and get myself down to 140 by the end of July. I think that is more than enough time to accomplish my goal.

And what will I do toward that end? Well, lemme tellya:

1) I will stop drinking soda. Caffeine and carbonation make my tummy hurt! I swore off of soda for three years, and I can sure as hell do it again.

2) I will walk the half mile home from the subway whenever physically possible.

3) I will try to walk more in general. I like walking. It makes me feel good. Sure, my nerve injury means I can’t do as much walking as I used to, but my body is capable of far more than I give it credit for. As long as I aim for moderation I think I’ll be okay.

4) I will not eat any more than 1200 calories a day.

5) I will only eat when I’m hungry.

6) I will track all of my food consumption and exercise on FitDay.

7) I will try to weigh myself at least once a week.

There. That’s enough to start with.



catch the bouquet at a wedding (read all 4 entries…)
Another Chance

My super-senior year college roommate, Gemma, just got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding next May. Though I’ve never been part of a wedding party and that’s plenty to get excited about, this wedding will be my second chance to catch a bouquet! I may have failed to catch Gayle’s, but I will not fail to catch Gemma’s. No way.



tone my arms
Try

Okay, assuming I don’t go and permanently injure myself in any way, from now on I’m doing as many push ups as I am capable of doing every night until I start to see some results. Furthermore, I will continue to eat healthy, count my calories, and engage in low impact cardio to help things along.
