It's another Monday and it feels like a fresh start- yet again. Since I last wrote, it turns out I didn't gain the ten pounds I thought I had (major relief)! So currently I weigh 181 pounds, and my measurements are: Bust- 42.5 inches, Waist- 35 inches, and Hips- 45 inches. The only good thing about this is the fact that when I was looking up my BMI (which is atrocious) it said that an unhealthy waistline is anything more than 35 inches. So I'm just making the cut for being 'healthy'. However, my BMI is 31.1 meaning I am 'obese' according to the chart. My healthy weight range according to my body mass index is 107.8 pounds to 145.1 pounds. I haven't been within my healthy weight range since highschool 3 years ago! I am currently 36 pounds away from the end of the healthy range.
My goal weight will range from 115-130 pounds, meaning I have about 50-65 pounds to go. It's such a large number, yet I feel I won't be satisfied until I reach that weight again. I can remember being 14 and wearing a size 7 jean, a far cry from what I can squeeze into now. I figure if I buckle down and TRULY committ, I can lose about 8-10 pounds a month, and in 6 to 7 months from now I will be where I want to be. Though I am giving myself a year. A year from now to get to atleast 130 pounds.
In order to get to that goal, I have a plan of action which includes the following:
- Cut out some alcohol
- Drink more water
- Do cardio at least 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes
- Limit carbs
- Eat more veggies/fruit
- Do not drink pop or sugary juices- only water, tea and milk
- Do not consume food after 7:30pm
- Do not forget the rules on weekends!
So far I'm finding the hardest rules to adhere to are cutting the alcohol, keeping up with cardio and the weekend thing. These three are probably the most essential, so I should probably step it up, a million times over. Right now, I'm gonna go work out!
