It happened....

I was on the stationary bike at the gym yesterday, when it HAPPENED.

I don't really know what "it" is, per se.

But as I pedaled along to The Used blaring in my ears, it dawned on me.

I have less than 30 lbs to a healthy BMI (25.2, to be exact). I need to be and CAN be much closer to goal by the year's end.

When the year started, I planned to be at goal by December 31, 2011. Then life happened and I gained some weight back. I don't think it's realistic to lose 25.2 lbs by then.

But 18 lbs is pretty realistic.

18 is the number of WI's I have until December 31, 2011.

185.2 - 18 = 167.2

^I can DO that. And *if* I don't, it's OK.

I'm GOING to get there...

Plans:
GHGs daily
Gym for 1 hour 3x/week
Plan to plan....to plan

More on this later.

I'm going to lose 18 more lbs in 2011.

I'll be blogging more on this after retail job.

Sooo, we've been talking for a long time....but....

....what is it you look for in a blog?

I need to improve upon my current blog, devote more time to it, and make it more than then than it is.

I appreciate the feedback!!!

Saturday WI..and back to blogging...and P+

So, today, somehow, I managed to be down .2, though I know I really didn't deserve it at all. The emotional eating has been out of control. Here I am, working on becoming financially fit through Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover book, and it's raising so many of my stressors bc of the impending negative income I'm about to have. September = income + bills = -bank account

I mean, as you've seen through other postings, there's so much more *to* what I've been going through (since April) but it's really hitting me hard now that I am counting the days until I'm out of healthcare.....I'm panicking, on all accounts, and DBF is running into some financial downfall also. 6 months in, and we're both financially effed. Unless I get a (very unlikely) call from another school to transfer to in the next 3 weeks.....

Anyway, I decided that this week, I need to get my sh!t together, and I'm going to try something that my leader recommends (after talking to her for about 30 mins and crying out of fear and self-loathing). She has told us in meetings before to use your 49 ONLY on indulgences, and to use your DP's to eat "satisfying food" aka your GHGs.

So, I'm trying that. I already used 8 P+ since WI this morning, but I already earned 4AP...I was going to try to run, but my legs feel like rubber from a pole dance class this morning.

I need to get my menus up...and walk the dog. I need to kick my own ass this week. Wish me luck.

Accountability thread....

I posted to an accountability thread on Friday that I would blog my menus Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

However, I did not realize that I have to RE-TYPE everything that I put into my e-tools, and that I couldn't just use a screenshot.

I went 16P+ further into the red last night...oh welly. I'll try to post later. WI post coming in 3...2...
