The meaning of this title is very different for me than what it appears to be. I have finally decided to hold myself accountable to losing that last bit of weight and get into that bit of shape that I have been wanting to for so long. Over the past couple of years and especially last 2 years, I have watched myself lose weight with great effort to only put it back on over one holiday or one family visiting us for 3 weeks. My husband and I travel a lot, so I do find myself a lot of times in a situation where I'm out of my regular routine and schedule to keep my exercise going. But this is no excuse to reach my goal weight or my goal body shape and I 'figured' (lol!) it was time I did something about it once and for all.
I don't believe in crash diets at all and I'm not a big believer of dieting in general, but I do believe in healthy eating. I do believe that it is better to eat a tasty salad than a pizza but if I ever do have a craving for some delicious food I'm not supposed to be eating, I will not deny myself one tiny bite. However tiny it might be, I know how to content myself with the taste in one bite. I have so many things I'd like to do but I feel getting into the best shape I can is only going to be the beginning of it. So here I am! Holding myself accountable to post my exercise routine and food journal atleast thrice a week.
Current weight - 125-126lbs
Target weight - 120-121lbs
Target date - (now this is the fun part) - July 15, 2015.
Current date - May 27, 2015
I have about a month and a half to get to where I want and not that I'm in bad shape or anything, I just want to lose those last few pounds that are sometimes the hardest and tone. Keyword here being tone. I have a CPA exam on July 1 so I will excuse myself the last 3-4 days before the exam but nothing more. I currently have a schedule where I work on Tuesdays (6pm-8pm), Wednesdays (9am-4pm) and Fridays (2pm-6pm) and since it's summer our weekends are filled with outdoor activities like hiking and we are hosting friends and families for 3 weekends until July 15. So as you can see, a month back I was complaining I don't have enough on my plate (!!!) and now it's busier than expected. All of the above with studying for a CPA exam, cooking and taking care of a home and exercising and healthy eating.
Anyway, here is a picture from this morning's breakfast of healthy options (omelette with a whole lotta veggies, baked potatoes, fruits and orange juice). See you on the other side of July 15, 2015 with hopefully great results. Did I mention I'm going to be in California then? :D
