Thanks for the welcome Audrey! I'll be sure to get in there and post.
cactuschyk,
I have to loose about 50lbs.
*sigh* I got myself into this I have to get myself out. I'm a Policy Studies major, but that's just what I do so I can get a job after I get out. I'd really like to come back to school next fall looking fantabulous. But it'd be nice to lose like 20lbs by summer... but.. I'm not gonna whine if I don't.
As for what steps I'm taking, I want to keep things do able. I don't want to set myself up for a fall. I've done that so many times before. I always plan out the ideal route but then fail because I overdue it. I'll plan to exercise 5 times a week and eat great and not snack and it's just too much all at once. And when you do a ton of stuff you expect results 5x as fast. And I wasn't losing a dress size a week (like i wanted) and I was stretching myself to thin (not litterally of course
). So I'm gonna start slow with gradual points to incorporate into my daily regimen.
Points to Incorporate: 2/25/04 - 3/2/04
1. Drink Only Water (I carbonated beverages, so it's not that hard a switch)
2. NO Ice Cream
3. Never buy two of anything. 1 is enough. (I tend to make double orders of honey bbq chicken wings, six just ain't enough ~ but I guess now it will have to be eh?)
Once I do that for a week then I'll add more for the week of 3/3/04 - 3/9/04. I want to be able to maintain whatever I chose to do. I feel like going to the gym today though. Just to walk on the treadmill, no running yet. I've got to get into the swing of things.
cactuschyk, how is Dr. Phil's book? Does it help? For, exercise are you walking, or do you have a gym membership? We can definitely be accountable to each other. Good Luck!
