Thanks to my best friend giving me a bit of a push to get back on track, the love of a man who is ecstatic to be with me as I am today, but supports and understands my drive to get healthier, and my dad's recent hospital visit wherein he discovered his sugar levels were off the charts and he is now a diabetic... I'm determined to drop the 100 pounds that are plaguing my body, my life, my mind, and my heart.
I have to be rid of it. It's going. This time next year, it will be gone, for good, always and forever. :)
This blog is going to help me do it. It was always the link to my motivation and drive to bettering myself. By posting my goals in this blog, and keeping track of my daily advances, I stuck to my guns and lost 50+ pounds last year. This year, I'm upping the ante a bit and am determined to lose 100 pounds by May 2013.
My methods are rather simple:
> Working out twice a day, five days a week.
> Removing fast food, excess sweets, and sodas from my diet.
> Making all of my meals myself.
> Sticking to an eating schedule.
Sounds like a long list, but its all doable and becomes habit after a couple of weeks of doing it. I have a month until my fall semester starts, so that's plenty of time to make these lifestyle changes into habits that I'll carry through the school semester. School always seems to be the hurdle for me, but I can't put off becoming healthy for the rest of my educational career... Its simply NOT an option.
I can get decent grades, go to school full-time, work full-time, and exercise everyday and eat my own home-made meals, right? Sure I can, people do all those things and more everyday. I'm thinking of mothers, especially, who raise kids, work two jobs or more, go to school, and still find time to be healthy. I am doing this. There's no turning back!
So here I goooooooooo! :)
