Alright, I've openly announced I'm getting on board, so that's what I'm going to. I'm going to take things into my own hands, and try and lose weight.
Right now, I'm 168lbs. My goal is to lose 53lbs, and keep it off in the long term. Short term, I'd like to go from a size 18 to a size 14 and wear an old prom dress to the Christmas formal in December.
How I'm going to do this, I'm not really sure. Exercise, watch what I eat.
So it's confession time. My name is Gypsy, and I'm a fast food junky. I will not cook when I can simply run to KFC, or McDonalds, or Wendy's, or I can grab a slice of pizza. I crave, and therefore I immediately satisfy that craving, and this has got to stop.
I'm also a late night snacker. The craving usually hits any time after 9:00, and I i'm on the phone to order pizza, or making nachos or ripping open a bag of chips. This also has to stop.
I'm also an emotional/comfort eater. When I'm upset, I eat more. And I eat poorly; cheese cake and ice cream, anything greasy or fired.
All of these are not only horrible for my health, but they're expensive! And with the over all money I'm spending on these, I could forego the bitching and whining I do over the expense of healthy food and actually buy it!
I'm also lazy, but I'm picking at that a little bit; I walk around the plant some times at work, and I'm going to start doing that more. I'm learning to belly dance, and will do that as often as I can. I should also haul my bkie up from down stairs and start going for short rides, and gradually increase them, plus walk some on my days off. I drive way too much, and spend too much time on the somputer doing nothing. So what's my plan?
Well, forst of all to get a plan going. I need to eat more fruit. More grilled meats, and more rice. I should be eating small amounts of things like trail mix and rice cakes, even get pop corn instead of chips and chocolate bars. Once a week, I'm entitled to a reasonable fast food treat, ie. a cheeseburger and fries (single paddy).
So here's hoping...
