At the suggestion of a friend I decided to blog about my weight loss journey. I’m going to stay honest with my supporters. In return, I hope you will judge and make me feel bad if I cheat (joking) but most of all ……keep me MOTIVATED. Along the way I hope that we can share information that may be helpful to one another.
After graduating from college and starting grad school, I needed to lose the extra poundage I had put on in the last few years. I started in late 2007, going from my heaviest 285 lbs…..and getting down to 235lbs. I had surgery on my foot in Jan ‘09 and it was all downhill form there. No more gym…..more time in bed….and bad foods = FAT ASS. I slowly started to lose all the muscle I built up and put on 20 pounds. So here I am today.. starting all over again…
Current Stats:
Height: 5’8
Weight: 255lbs
BMI: 38
Dress Size: 20
My Goals:
TO BE FIT…..not looking to get skinny here. I’d like to get my BMI below 25 and be able to run 5 miles without stopping
The Initial Plan:
Diet:
ONLY Water….with an occasional vodka tonic when I go out ( thanks Brit)
No Junk food ( McDonalds..Chinese etc.)
No Red meat…this is so hard around the holidays …(I want my Curry Goat lolol)
Eat Fruit and vegetables at least once a day…
Exercise:
Gym at least 3 times a week…..
I love to dance….so I will try to take as many classes as I can.
Here we go…….
