Let's get serious for a minute...

This morning was rather depressing. I recorded my weight (ugh!!) and measurements (double ugh!!).

Cheese and rice! As good as that sounds, that's not part of the plan for right now! I am 4 days alcohol and cigarette free! I have attempted (again) to cut out the caffeine from my life, but that's not going to good. Ha! Today starts NOTHING but water with a cup (or 2) of coffee. 

I have decided, yet again, that I need to be serious about this if I wish to attain my goals.

Step 1: STOP DRINKING BEER YOU STUPID BITCH!! LOL As delicious as beer is, it's full of empty calories. One of my next blogs will be a list of beers and their calories so I (or you) can make a more conscious decision when choosing that wonderful beverage of barley and hops!

Step 2: STOP SMOKING CIGARETTES!! Again, this is just a big DUH!!! I won't get anywhere near my goal of running a 5k if I keep smoking.

Step 3: Make more conscious food choices!! I've got to get back to being more selective in the food that I eat and consuming less junk!

Step 4: Vitamins, water, exercise!! The essentials in any good plan to lose weight and get healthy. If I cannot utilize the gym, I need to get my ass out of bed at 5 am and start walking/jogging/running.

I've got to make an appointment with the doctor for a physical. I expect nothing else that the doctor telling me that I'm "obese", but perfectly healthy otherwise, as usual. Weigh-in and measurements will be done on Wednesdays from here on out and all food consumed and exercise will be tracked on myfitnesspal.com.

I have my goals... now to achieve them! My high school reunion is this year, October, I believe. That gives me 9 months. If I keep to the plan: 9 months x 4 weeks = 36 weeks x 2 lbs./week = 72 lbs.

Current Weight: 257.2 - 72 = 185.2 , 15 lbs. to ultimate goal of 170 lbs!

Gotta keep focused and not let ANYTHING hold me back!!
