An Actual Goal
So I've just been jerking around on my diet, not really following anything, not gaining, and losing every now and then and I'm starting to freak out a little.
I've lived in the same college town for almost 7 years now (I'll have moved by my 7th anniversary), went to school here (didn't gain my first year, gained like 5 my second year, and then junior year, BAM! Senior year BAM! 5th year BAM!), and now my fiance goes to school here and is graduating in May. And we're moving.
So I've decided that it's time to lose the weight I've gained here. When I moved I weighed 163 (thought I was fat, I'd give anything to weigh that again) and am around 203 now. So that's 40 lbs. We're moving at the end of June, so that gives me four months to lose 40 lbs, 10 lbs a month. It might not be manageable, but I do have a more realistic goal of 20 lbs by the end of May. I figure it's a good way to leave the college life before I move on with my "real life." And I'm also moving to Los Angeles, where you have to be fit. It's law :-)
So I could use all of the support I get. And it's more of a "This would be awesome if I could do this!" but not devastating if I don't. It's still a goal I want to reach eventually. Plus, we're getting married Sept 2011, and I can't be overweight on my wedding day. No way. And if we want to have kids, I *have* to get my weight under control. My mom was like 120 when she had me. And probably 115 when she married my dad. I'm just sick of being overweight and it's not fun. I want to go to the beach when I live in LA. I love the beach. We're thinking of getting an apartment in Venice. How fun would that be to go swimming before work every morning? I just can't continue dicking around. I'm an adult now, I need to shape up, ya know?
