I'm going to be working HARD the next two weeks...I've been sorely disappointed in the scales so I've decided to do low low carb for the next two weeks to jump start me beyond that disappointing number on the scale...I'll weigh in 2 weeks..well, 13 days...because Thursday is a good day for me to weigh in on...My goal is to be below 175 before the first day of summer....I'm about 8 pounds off my goal track so I need to catch up!!! At this juncture I'm hoping to see 159.5 on August 25th...and by my birthday I hope to be at 155 (September 13th...) at that point I'll just take the rest of September off to have another life break then work on October and November for getting down to 148....I know I can do it!!! I'm posting this in my journal and making a commitment!!!
Okay..I put it down...now I've got to DO IT!!! I'll be readjusting my goals on page one and not weighing in until June 9th....I'll be posting my eating daily for the next 13 days of low carbing and then I'll post my official DOWN TO 148 starting weigh in then...Then I'll officially reset my goal...hoping I'll be in the 170's low enough to hit 155 by my birthday on September 13th...then I'll be using October and November to get those last 6 pounds off....This will be the first Thanksgiving where I'll see 140's since 1993!!!! It's about time!!! I feel strong and with the WISH'es help I know I can beat this!!!
Focus for the next two weeks are...
LOW Carbing...will allow raspberries/blueberries in very small amounts...otherwise fresh veggies and lean meats...drinking water lots of it with maybe an unsweet tea every other day or so.
Exercising will be a 4 mile walk every other day plus the regular unpacking and organizing the house from the move. Plus a few days at the swimming pool.
After that I will reassess how the weight loss is coming and put a strategy into place...I may try 2 weeks of slimfast with one good meal...then alternate a week of low carb and a week of slimfast until I'm in the 160's...then I'll just let the exercise and eating wisely kick in....it's easier for me to stay consistent if I spend a good month limiting my food choices or substituting a meal...then it's alot easier to just exercise and eat less.
WORKING towards June 9th!!!!
