That is the goal. I would like to lose 35 lbs. by my 35th birthday. I am scared to set too high of a goal, so I am starting with this. At a current weight of 215 and 5'7", I am now officially obese. That is NOT the example I want to set for my 3 kids. I have "blamed" the weight on 2 pregnancies close together, but the honest truth is that I sit on my rear end and I really have an obsession about chocolate. 3 things have triggered this weight loss journey: 1: I am finding myself dozing off while sitting in a chair outside watching my kids run around. I should be running around with them! 2: I recently had a medical scare at my son's soccer game( I collapsed, couldn't breathe, someone called 911.....). It was all allergy related, but my BP was 160/110. Not too good. 3: I am going to the happiest place on earth to make wonderful memories with my family, and I don't want anyone to take my picture. How messed up is that??
So today I got up at 645 and walked the neighborhood.....3.4 miles! I felt great. Multigrain cheerios for breakfast.....and then it all falls apart at lunch!! I need to eat a midmorning snack so that at 1230 I'm not famished and eating anything I can find. I am a SAHM during the week, so the kitchen is always nearby.
The best thing about starting this now is that it's summer so there are lots of fresh veggies and fruits to fill up on.
Weigh in will be on Wednesdays
Goal #1: 15 lbs: pedicure
Goal #2: 25 lbs: new outfit
Goal#3: 35 lbs.: The Haunted Mansion prints I've had my eye on for some time now
