I'm on a diet.. for the first time in my life.
My mom says I've had a lot of "firsts" lately, which is true. This one is the biggest bitch though. It stems from me being tired of being overweight, wanting to be healthier, and wanting to be more active. And from encouragement from certain family members and boyfriends. But I truly want those things - so I joined Weight Watchers. And I'm going to join a gym.
I wasn't going to blog about this at first, feeling a little embarrassed about the whole weight thing. But now I don't care - it's obvious to anyone that I have major poundage to lose. So that's what I'm going to do.
My plan: doing Weight Watchers for a bit.. I lost 5lb in the first week, woo. Learning how to control what I eat better and portion it out. Then continue the "food conscious" attitude by myself. Join a gym, work out many times a week, and ride my bike on Grant's Trail a lot when the weather gets nicer.
I want to lose 40-50 pounds in 2010. It might be a lofty goal, but I want to achieve it. And I'm going to work REALLY HARD to do it.
Buddy, I KNOW you can do it. I KNOW you love being outside and hiking and biking and canoeing and all that stuff. Do the stuff that is fun AND helps you get shape and it won't ever feel like work! When you come out here this summer you know you can stay on track as I'll have us outside at every interval doing something.
ReplyDeleteANyway, you are awesome and I love you no matter what you do and you can do anything you put your mind to. How you have time to do a damn blog with everything else is beyond me.
