Ah…the fun stuff.

Height - 5′3 and a half, like that seriously makes a difference!

Current Weight - 208

Goal Weight - 150

I’ve started working with my realtor concerning my weight loss. Probably wondering how that happened? He has a degree in exercise physiology or something like that and knows the ins and outs of it all. He had me do a BodPod(anyone had the pleasure of that experience??? It measures your body fat percentage. Anyway, his plan makes perfect sense, it just takes a lot to follow. And so far I haven’t really followed it.

I am going to Mexico in 5 short weeks and would love, love, love to see some changes before then. This is when I wish I was a little OCD and could have tunnel vision and just DO IT!

Today is cardio day. I brought my workout clothes and am going to hit the little gym in our office building for some treadmill time. The plan is 40 minutes and then back to work!

 

A Quick Intro…

Ok, so I’ll tell you a little about me. Probably a whole lot more than you’d ever want to know by the time I’m done, but hey I like to talk :) My name is Emily. I am 27 years old, am a single mom of 2 kids, ages 2 and 7, work full time as an accounting clerk, and am pursuing my bachelors degree with only 6 more classes to go!!! So excited about that I almost cry everytime I think about it!

I’ve started many blogs(unpublished because I couldn’t bring myself to share my thoughts), but never followed through. Much like every thing else in my life. I have these big dreams and don’t pursue them, hence the name, Chasing Pavements. Anyone heard the song by Adele??? Awesome artist and the song to me is about chasing your dreams, but never quite getting there. Sure it’s more about relationships, but I’m applying it to my relationship with my weight loss-It never gets anywhere.  I’m hoping to meet some people through here that will help hold me accountable through all the ups and downs of weight loss. I have awesome friends, but unfortunatly we tend to enable one another, lol.

My plan is to not have this thing all over the place and talk about 17 different things a day, but I am going to try and post about something every day. Right now I weigh in on Monday so there will definatley be a weight loss update then. If I can figure out what all this crap means, I’ll post a cute little weight loss ticker somewhere and perhaps some pictures. Ugh, I wish I were more technically inclined sometimes!

I also promised a friend I would add something about how the morons on Biggest Loser think it is even remotely ok to continue the show until next week. Whatever people, that was not even right! I tend to eat my emotions, so I could probably blame them if I have some binge because I’m so nervous about what happened! Kidding, kidding….probably why I’ve had such a problem losing weight…I blame tv shows :)
