Challange.

But am I up for it?  Ya never know!  We are leaving for Disney World in 2 weeks.  I want to work out everyday, and seriously diet until we leave.  I would like to take off ten pounds before we leave.  I think it can be done.  Seriously the first five pounds are very easy, especially at the weight I am at.  Which is 243.6.  Ew.  Anyway, I can't stand what I see in the mirror.  I need to change.  I know I can do it.  What is my plan?  I may use Slim Fast, but I think I may go with smoothies for breakfast (fruit and kale or spinach, flax seed), salads for lunch, and clean dinners.  Almonds to snack on.  Yogurt for a bedtime snack.  Sounds good, right?!?  Maybe down the road I will incorporate Slim Fast to cut calories, or use it when I don't have time to make a meal and am on the run.  And work outs are a must.  I need to be careful to begin.  I have been fighting bursitis in my knee since Thanksgiving.  I know once I start building some muscle in my legs that it should help, but I don't want to aggravate it any more.  My Lose It! app says that if I lose 2 pounds a week, I will hit my goal of 170 in 258 days.  That's about 74 pounds in about 9 months.  Wow.  Could I really hit it in 9 months?!?  That makes it seem so close!  I am excited to get myself back into shape.  I want my body to run on good clean fuel, and be strong.  Hopefully, I will start blogging more.  I find that to be a helpful tool, to be able to freely talk about what is going on in my head.  So here is to the first two weeks!!
