This blog was going to be about how I'm mad at myself for getting to be as fat as I am, that I didn't finish CG--in fact, I only went to that camp once. Instead of berating myself for "failing", I'm starting right now. September is always a busy month, but when your last semester of college begins and you are still driving to Dallas about 4-5 times a month to help your parents out the busyness seems to increase tenfold.
I'm going to post my stats here and start everything from today's date, except food tracking. MyFitnessPal has been my enemy lately since it is kind of hard to calculate what you eat sometimes, especially if its homemade. I'm making meatloaf tonight but without bread in it (remember, the wheat allergy? ugh.). I hope it will let me plug in a recipe someone has already made into my counter, otherwise, I'm just starting over tomorrow. One day at a time.
I am taking before and after pictures but those are for my use only. Mainly until I have SOME kind of progress. I really don't want full body pictures of me floating around on the Internet.
Most likely I will not be returning to CG or anything that intense until I drop some pounds. After doing it one time, I royally screwed up my knee. Its tight and is hard to bend all the way, which makes driving and walking up three flights of stairs difficult. With that being said, I'm going to focus my efforts on getting into HABIT.
My husband has utilized the app Habitica, where you are playing a turn based RPG based on your life. It's great for him but not for me. I've tried it and while I enjoy the graphics, I'm not good at setting my goals as different levels...I don't even know. He loves it, so if you're interested in it, talk to him about it.
Instead, I just signed up for a website that is crudely titled and I'm digging it. Entitled "Go F***ing Do It", you basically set a deadline and a goal, create a monetary wager with yourself, and input an accountability partner's email. They don't charge your card...unless you fail. I set the minimum bet, which is $25, just because my goal was super lofty and I can't change it now. Whoops. 60 lbs by February, why not?
Money is a good motivator for me...so we'll see how this goes.
My stats today, September 30, 2016 are as follows:
Weight: 242
BMI: 39.1 (Obese)
Can't find our flexible measuring tape so I can't do those stats at the moment. By February 2, 2017, I want to weight 180 lbs. That's when I felt my strongest and fittest and I think once I get down there, I can figure out if I really want to reach for 140.
The habits I'm trying to create within the next three weeks are:
1. Eating when hungry
2. Drinking water ONLY
3. Exercise regularly (Note: I don't plan on running or anything, because of said knee injury. I will be utilizing Richard Simmons/Leslie Sansone DVDs, the treadmills, swimming pool if its still warm, and free weights in the apartment gym)
4. Positive self-talk
5. Relax
Here we go!
