Refocusing

Soooo I double checked and its reaching my goal by August 12, 2013. A looong time, but less time than it took me to get here :p That will be perfect actually, right as I am starting my career in nursing! This time frame seems more attainable and less drastic! This means consistency and losing more weight the harder I work! The people around me are so encouraging and so willing to help! Can't wait to continue Day 2 of this journey tomorrow!!!

Fit > Skinny

I mean come on, I'm gonna be a stinkin' nurse! How will I tell my patients they need to get healthy if I can't do it myself. I've always worked better to earn things for myself if they can motivate other people in the process. So here we go :)

I started this blog a while a go, but I think I will keep up with it much more! I found a "good ways to get started losing weight" blog from matchstickmolly and I'm used one of her blogs as a starting point for a healthy idea for my weight loss!

First thing I learned, I have a large body frame and I endomorph body shape. What does that mean-CURVES. I will never be a Cameron Diaz, but I mean honestly, wouldn't we all rather be Beyoncé? For my body style and height I should weigh about 143-163, and considering my weight in high school we're gonna shoot for 163! I'm weighing in at 242 now and wear a size 18! Can't wait to see what fit and healthy looks like for me, because it will be different from everyone else.

I'm supposed to eat around 1850-2100 calories a day to healthily lose weight considering if I do nothing to working out 3 times a week. This means that by AUGUST 12, 2011 I should reach my weight loss goals!!!!!! In the scheme of the rest of my life-what is 7 months???

I was going to start this new years day, but why not NOW???

Some things I promise to to DAILY to achieve my goals from now on are as follows:

1. Write down EVERYTHING I eat (yes, even if it is embarrassing)
2. Eat more fruits and veggies than anything else.
3. Do AT LEAST 30 minutes of exercise EVERYDAY.
4. Continually educate myself about nutrition!
5. EAT OFTEN
6. Never drink soda
7. Be moderate with my condiments.
8. Be accountable to 2-3 ppl about my binge eating.
9. Stop calorie counting February 1, 2012 and just continue what I have learned from this month!
10. Love myself and who I am each and every day <3
