Time to lose weight

I have decided that I am not happy being fat. I am aware that one person's idea of fat is different from someone elses. I need to do this for me. I am not going to do anything drastic or dangerous. That has never been who I am. Besides, I am still nursing, so my health and what I put in my body is important to the health of my little guy. I have lost 24 pounds in 6 weeks before, so I know it is possible. But I need to lose more than 24 pounds this go round. I am going to track my progress or lack thereof on this blog. This is going to be extremely revealing. I am going to take before, during and after pictures, post my measurements, exercise, meals, and my joys and sorrows. This will definitely keep me motivated.

Here is my plan: I will begin Monday morning, November 10, 2008.

1. I will drink at least 80oz of water per day.
2. I will not consume more than 1800 calories Sunday-Friday. (Saturday is a free day)
3. I will workout for 1 hour Monday-Friday, and for 30 minutes on Sunday. My workouts will include The Firm, Pilates, circuit training, and walking.
4. I will weigh and measure myself once per week on Monday mornings.
5. I will not cry and become unmotivated because I mess up. I will just start over from that point.

Wish me luck, no, don't wish me luck. There is no luck needed, because I can do all things through Christ....
