Goals

Weight:
Lose 50 lbs by December 2009.
Small Goals: I am going to try to focus on small goals, 2 lbs a week is what I am aiming at right now. Before I know months will go by and it will hit me that I lost 20 lbs. That is what happened to me in November. I just kept at it, was consistent and the weight came off. My pants were more lose than they have been in years. I remember my pants were literally falling off my butt. It was the best feeling. I want to feel that way again. I want to feel strong, little and light. I was 117-130 for the past 10 yrs. I know I am promising myself I will and can get down to 120 again. I won't settle for less. My bones are little and I know I can bust my butt to do good. I want to look in the mirror and be proud and think wow I look pretty today. Instead of being sick and disgusted with how I look. I hate looking in the mirror now. It doesn't even look like myself. I know my husband loves me it's just that maybe he isn't as attracted to me as he was when I was thinner. But I don't blame him, fat isn't really sexy like muscles are.

Another goal is to feel confident like I used to, proud, sexy, healthy, strong, & more energy. When I get off the ground from changing my son it is hard almost every night. By the end of the day I am tired. I know I am still young. I am just completely out of shape. I want to have more energy to keep up with my son or if I can have more kids. I thought I had a problem with my thyroid and had blood work done but nope it is just from being out of shape and not exercising.


Goal 2 is to lose weight so we can have more kids. I had 2 miscarriages in the past 3 months. We were trying to get pregnant for 7 months. I think it is from having weight on. I know a ton of skinny woman who get pregnant at the drop of the hat and other woman who have weight on that have a harder time. I have asked people and I see that. My goal is to try and lose the weight so I can have another baby, we both really want more kids. I don't know if it is from that or not but just another reason to try my hardest to lose weight. Plus when I was pregnant with my son, I gain 40-60lbs and I was at least over 200lbs and so uncomfortable with how I felt. It hurt so bad to move at the end, the weight was unbearable especially on my back. Plus I saw how I looked pregnant and there was nothing cute about it. When I see these Moms that are little and cute it is so adorable. I always wanted to look like that. When you get pregnant you gain weight with the baby no matter what.

Health: low cholesterol, good blood pressure (these are this killers in my family), good blood flow, less colds, less flu's. Since I have gained weight I get sick more often, so much that I caught everything that went by. Growing up I didn't exercise much. Once I started learning to take walks everyday and remained thin, I barely ever got sick.



Exercise: I am going to commit to riding my bike at least 6 days a week and do the 30 day Shred every day.

Food: eat healthier, less calories, no junk food. except I can cheat once a week.
I need to stop eating high fat. Less than 10grams per meal.

Equipment: buy heart rate monitor to track my heart rate as I go and keep track of my
calories.
