This is what I started out with, the day before I started to be more healthy...
- Starting Weight: Last I weighed (in July), I was 145Kg (319lb)
- Current Weight: I have no idea, but I'm sure its more....
- Goal Weight: Overall goal: under 200. Mini goals: under 300, 275, 250, 225
I went to weigh myself, for the first time since July, expecting to see the pointer tip past 140kg..
Can you imagine my surprise when it stopped on 133kg?!?!?! Thats 292.6lbs!!!!
I WEIGH LESS THAN 300lbs FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!
Im sooo excited!!!
Anyways.. Seeing that really got me thinking that I can do this.. After all, I only have to loose a number that is 2 digits, instead of 3 (for the lbs)...
I have developed a goal and reward program for myself (non-food rewards). Here is a list of my goals.. And I will follow each goal with it's reward (
) or consequence for failing to reach it (
).
Ultimate Goal:
- DROP DOWN TO 200lbs (90.9kg)
Whole new wardrobe. Top to bottom.. I'll be lookin fly
Long Term Goals:
- DROP DOWN TO: 275, 250, 225lbs (125, 113.6, 102.2kg)
Small trip somewhere nice.. Gabes Beach, Matmata, Zerkine to visit the camels
Mini Goals:
- 1kg a week. (I weigh myself Saturday morning.)
Omar (my hubby) doesnt smoke for one day
I fast for one day (Fajr to Maghrib *water is allowed*), and the following day, I add one hour of heart pounding exercise.
I dont get my weekend sweets allowance. (Explained in detail below)
I know that I have a weakness for sweets and carbs (mostly soda, noodles, and bread), and there is ALOT of that here. I have decided that the best way for me to control how much I eat, is to break it down like this:
Soda:
Saturday and Sunday only; One 11oz can (normal canned soda size) per day.
Bread:
One peice, (french bread) no longer than the length of my hand. Once per day.
Pasta:
One cup, twice per day, no less than 4 hours apart.
Still hungry after a meal? :
