Well, the house didn't burn down, so that's good. Unfortunately I was completely right about having gained weight. I've gained back just about half of what I had lost. Totally awesome. :-/ My weight is 170.4. That means I have to drop 20 pounds by September 17, approx. 10.5 weeks from now. So, instead of it being a little over 1 pound per week it's now a solid 2 pounds per week. Still, it should be doable. Check that - it IS doable. I can do it. WE can do this, people!!
So, here's my plan:
Friday July 2: lose 2 lounds (168.4)
July 15: be down 5 more pound (163.4)
Aug 1: be down 5 more pounds (158.4)
Aug. 15: be below 155 (154.9)
Sept. 1: 151
Sept. 17: 149.9
I know it's going to get harder to lose the lower I get, which is why I've tried to top load my goals if that makes sense. It's going to be super important that I drink my water and track my calories. Not only track but eat things that are healthy and will help me reach my goal. And of course there's always exercise. I need to work out an exercise plan. I work at a gym, so coming up with a plan and sticking to it shouldn't be so hard. I'll report back with my exercise goals maybe tonight, but probably tomorrow.
Goals for today:
Drink 4 bottles of water
track calories
exercise
Good luck everyone!

Sounds like you have a good plan here. You can do this!
ReplyDeleteYou can totally do this! It's good that you weighed yourself, and just got it over with! I am going to check on your food tracking.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys! So, yeah I totally had Qdoba nachos for dinner and a couple glasses of wine. The thing is, I don't regret it. It was exactly what I wanted. So, I ended up being about 550 calories over my goal (just under 2000). But I'm feeling really good about my goals and really ready to be on track.
