Hey everyone! I'm back from a loooonnnnnggggg hiatus. And from gaining back the 10 pounds I lost last summer (). Anyway...as the subject of my post states, I want to get down to 125 lbs by June 21. Why? It's the first day of Summer AND my boyfriend's nephew is getting married, so I have a WEDDING I need to look hot for!
So that means I need to buck up and DO this! No more messing around! I'm NOT going to fail this time. I won't allow myself to. I'm sick of WISHING I looked better than other girls, and I'm sick of being jealous of other girls. And I'm sick of wondering if my boyfriend secretly wishes I looked like some of the hot girls that are around us sometimes (he plays soccer, and I'm constantly by all the other girls that watch their boyfriends...and some of them look pretty darn good - they're latinas!). But no more of that for me.
Now...how am I going to do this? This is where you gals come in. I'm going to need some help developing a plan. Here are some of my problems, and if anyone has some suggestions on how to improve, please let me know! Because obviously these things haven't been working for me (seeing as I can't lose or keep off this weight)....
- How in the WORLD can I give up pop? I've tried everything in the book....flavored water, sparkling water, 1/2 can of pop and 1/2 can water, etc.
- Does anyone have any suggestions for rewards? I'm thinking of coming up with a points system, where I earn a certain number of points for working out X amount of minutes a day, and points for healthy meals/snacks and each cup of water a day
- How do you all stay motivated? I'm usually motivated 1-2 weeks, and then it all goes to **** from there. I don't know what to do once I hit that point.
- I want to go hardcore with working out. I know a lot of you like to say to "start off small", but I'm not really starting out. I've been working out on and off for years now. I just need to do it every day. And it seems I can't find a plan to stick to because it's too easy or boring. Any suggestions on good workout plans or videos?
I think that's all for now. And this is long enough, LOL. If anyone has any suggestions, jump right in! Thank you SO much!
