New Day, New Weight Chart

So, as of yesterday, I am officially dieting again.  I out a new weight chart up on the fridge.  This is a great tool for me.  If I have to look at it while looking for something to eat, it helps me to make better decisions.  If the numbers are not good, or if the numbers are really good, it makes me want to stick to my diet.  I went to the grocery store today, and got good things to eat that will help me stick to a diet, and lose some weight.  I hope!


Yesterday, I weighed in at 217 lbs.  Yikes!!  That is the first time I have ever publically admitted my weight!  Scary!  I also did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  Boy, am I sore today, and I have to say, I love being sore after a good workout!   I weighed in today at 212.5 lbs.  Can I have really lost that much in one day?!?  Have I really been eating that much and being that lazy lately?  Even scarier than admitting what I weigh to the cyber-world.  I plan to run/jog/walk to pick Perry up from school today.  I haven't done that since June, so it will be interesting!

So, what is my goal?  I have given myself until my Birthday, December 31 (my 35th, in case you were wondering).  How much do I want to lose?  I should say that I want to be 175 lbs.  I want to say 185, because that seems more attainable, but I think I should push myself, and go with 175.  I have already lost about 25 lbs, so I think I can do this.  I am hoping that blogging will help me, too.  Again, being held accountable to someone or something will help me stay on track.

I am going to breakdown my total goal into smaller goals.  My first goal is 203, which is the lowest I weighed before vacation this year!  After that, my goal is 198, 1 pound less than I weighed when I graduated from college.  I will figure out more smaller goals, but those are my first two.  Wish me luck!
