But here's the thing. I can't afford to buy any more fat clothes. And the ones I have are growing tight. It's time to face what I have been dreading.
In my mind I look like this:
But in reality I look more like this:
I am afraid to step on the scale but here goes:
155 lbs. Shit.
I am joining Wacky Jacqui in her fitness quest and will be posting weekly about my progress.
Here are my basic goals. I am an underachiever and believe that I should aim low and not be put off by my lack of results so here goes:
- I want to be about 135 lbs so I have 20 lbs to lose.
- I will walk for 30 minutes 3 times a week AND for 15 minutes on my lunch breaks (3 days a week).
- If I go out to eat (which we seem to do a lot in the summer) I will take half my entree home because the portions are always too big. And NO DESSERT.
- NO eating after 8pm. We always eat dinner early and there is no reason to snack at bedtime.
- 8-10 glasses of water per day.
- More Fruits and Veggies
- Less ice cream.
Anyone want to join up? I will be posting my progress on Fitness Fridays and would love if some of you joined us.

I should join you. I cried on the scale this morning!! I want to punch my scale!!
ReplyDeleteDO IT! Set a couple easy goals and check in weekly. Even if you only lose a few pounds its better than crying every time you step on the scale.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great plan. And yes, I can relate about choosing the "easier" more indulgent choices. I JUST wrote about that today!
ReplyDeleteI am a total believer in setting the goals that you can reach! No over-achieving :P Working all this myself... but I don't need to lose weight just get in shape :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in. I want to lose 25lbs by Monday. No, seriously I want to lose 25lbs, I now weigh as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my first child. Also, I gave you an award, come to my blog to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteMuah!
Of course i can join you!!
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean one post every friday then about progress??
Following you now :)
I may not be posting every Friday but as a fellow "want to look like this but instead...ohh a Snickers!" underachiever at exercise I'm all in for trying to keep each other motivated. Good luck with it, your goal sounds perfectly reasonable & achievable!
