Okay ladies,
I’m going to be honest with y’all, I’ve fallen off the wagon big time and I’m forcing myself to get back on by posting my goals here and holding myself accountable this month. I was doing so good? What happened… well, my mother died a month and half ago and when that happened I think I let myself go.
My mother had been in a coma for 32 months I was not upset when she died, I was happy that she wasn’t in anymore pain. I only feel guilt that I did not visit her in the hospital as often as I should have. Yet I know my mother and she would completely understand my reasons. I think it is this guilt that caused me to fall off.
I gained back all my weight. 20 pounds in a month and 3 weeks. I haven’t been this heavy since summer of 2003. I’ve slacked in my gym time… I still went almost everyday, but found myself hardly working hard at all. I ate whatever crap was set in front of me and didn’t care about calories. I’ve started to run out of clothes to wear because my new wardrobe wont fit me. Yet the strange thing is the few clothes I still have from the last time I was this size still look like tents on me. I guess the fat distributed differently.
I haven’t been taking very good care of myself as well. As some of you know about the little scare that had me going to see a doctor. I won’t go into nasty details but I’m sure y’all remember.
So here are my goals. Hold me accountable for this month. (May) And I promise myself not to set myself to fail, or feel like a failure if I miss a few goals. These are only to jump start me back where I need to be because I’m the kind of person that needs guidelines. Not all of these goals are for weight loss.
Weight goals:
Lose five pounds. (no real time limit for this, just a mini goal)
Calorie goal is around 1650 calories every day. No more than 1800 no less than 1400.
Nutrition goals.
NO FRENCH FRIES!! McDonalds are the bane of my existence; I could live off fries as they are my favorite food. The only fries I can have are my father’s sweet potatoes fries. I know once I cut myself off of these grease sticks, I’ll lose my craving for them.
Drink at least 60oz. of water every day.
No meals before bed over 300 calories.
No fog eating (eating while reading, watching TV, talking on the phone…ect..)
Take a multivitamin at least every other day.
Must have at lease two servings of fruit and veggies every day.
Limit red meat to 2-3 times a week.
I will watch carbs!
I will NOT make bad choices because those around me such and friends and family are making bad choices.
No more eating right out of the bag, carton, box..ect… I will give myself a serving and put the rest away.
No more buffet style restaurants, only places where I can box my meal and take it home.
Exercise goals.
I will try and go to the gym at least 15 times this month.
I will spend at least 30 minutes on cardio and 15 minutes on weights (To slowly increase )
I will attempt to run 1 minute on the treadmill at least once a week if not every time I go to the gym.
Personal Health goals.
I will brush my teeth, floss and use mouthwash twice a day!!
I will shower right after work instead of waiting until the last minute to run around and get ready.
If I wear make-up to work I MUST wash it off after work.
I will not pick at every little pimple and blackhead because no one will notice it until I make it turn into an angry red spot on my face! ( it’s a gross habit I have when I’m stressed, ya’ll should see the scars on my arms >_<)
Free Time goals
I will give myself a block of time to read or write at least every other day.
On days off I will spend only 1-2 hours on video games. (it’s like crack.. I can’t stop once I start lol)
I will NOT count my play time on the Wii as a light workout! LOL
Okay, so there are my goals for this month. It looks like a lot but most of this I do anyways and just need to remind myself to not slip up. I will continue to post my successes (and not so successful) If you also want to post goals feel free, we can all help each other keep on track.
p.s. LOL I read these to my best friend she said i sounded like those people yelling in boot camp. so I was very determined.
Hold me accountable in May
I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. You can do this. And getting back into a good routine may even help. You might even like to join a small challenge to help keep you on track in some areas (like the 100lb club monthly points challenge). Keep us updated. We're routing for you. 
You can do it!
No just kidding. It's awsome to know someone here is gonna keep a eye on me. lol
You're doing awesome! 
I took it easy, did weights for half a hour and skipped the cardio because I felt so icky. But I'm glad I didn't stay home on my butt. 
Now sakai, you get you to that gym! 
We went to breakfast again, but ate better than I normally do. We're just gong to have to limit out breakfast mornings to 1 a week. ave money and save calories ^.^ I'm doing pretty good on water, I don't even worry about it anymore because it's all I drink even when we go out to eat.
