on plan! yay!

workout: 47 min elliptical, 45 min weights and abs! i have a gym buddy who lives in my house! we’re going every night at 7:30-8ish for 1.5 hours mon-thurs and then i’ll go at least once fri-sun. he’s a huge gym buff and doesnt let me off the hook!

WOOHOO

OK, I’m back and it’s time to get serious! My trip was super duper fabulous fantastic wonderful etc etc. I had a great time, but obviously (ha!) I didnt lose weight….of course.

Funnily enough, it was exactly this time one year when I came back from vacation, saw photos of myself and said “hey fatty, time to lose weight!”. well, I saw the photos this trip and I’m so thrilled i’ve lost weight and look so much better than last year, but there’s still work to be done. time to get on board the weight loss train. i dicked around last quarter, but now it’s time to get serious.

plan:

-gym at least 5 times a week 1.5 hours: 45 min cardio (elliptical or treadmill) 45 min weights and abs

-estimate calories between 1100-1250 per day. Blog ALL food and caloric beverages drunk in a day. every morsel and sip: IT’s what has worked before.

-daily check-in weigh-ins in the morning, weekly official weigh ins every friday.  record weight every friday whether it’s positive or negative.

-say no to all the obvious bad foods. eat healthily, i’ve done it before and it works!

-lots and lots of water everyday, as always..

okay, i’m off to bed, all of this starts tomorrow.

ooh: two very short term goals, once these are reached, I will put more goals out there:

Goal for Friday January 16: 189 (i have no idea what i weigh now, but i should be able to reach that after 4 days at the gym this week)

Goal for Friday January 23: 187.

see you all tomorrow! back to full blogging with all food and exercise!

glad to be back, ready to get the scale moving down!
