Yes it’s the New Year and a bit cliché that my main resolution is to get healthy. It seems like I always choose something to do with weight.
Honestly, this is the year I
HAVE to make it happen. I am 39 and will be 40 on June 1st. I don’t want to be obese when I am 40. I want to be fit. I have wanted to be fit for a long time, but that number is slapping me in the face and this is the year I make it happen.
My goal is to lose 92 lbs by the end of the year (140 lbs) and ultimately to lose 102lbs. (130 lbs).
I know the goal is lofty, but it is still less than 2lbs a week, so I hope that I should be able to stick with it and get the support I need here at 3fatchicks.
My starting weight was 232 lbs and I am 5’3”.
I am starting to have a few health issues arising from being Obese (God, I hate that word). Right now I have plantar fasciitis really bad in one of my feet. It is keeping me from walking very much and even doing the elliptical at the gym – my foot is burning in agony after only 10 minutes. So I have to pick and choose what exercises I can do.
I also snore really bad and I may have sleep apnea.
So now is the time to act. A big hurdle for me is food. I am a terrible planner, so I need to bring lunches to work as well as snacks. I don’t know how many times I’ve found myself at a fast food place because I didn’t have a lunch. Today I have a lunch, and I will plan on bringing one all this week.
So wish me luck!
40 is just around the corner!
