So I weighted myself and the scale said 207.2. I hope that my initial weight of 211 was right because at the lowest weight was 206 so if it was 211 I lost 4lbs but if not I gained 1.
I tried eating right and for a bit I did lower my calorie intake and I worked out 4 out of 5 times. One day I could not work out at the gym so I did a video at home. It was better than nothing but not close to the 600 plus calories I have burned while working out.
I am feeling optimistic about my journey. I hope that I can continue on with the path I am on. I am trying to get my TN body by July 19, 2011. That being said, I have less than 6 months to get in gear. In 6 months I would like to be at 185lbs. I do think that this is realistic because that would mean I need to drop 22 more pounds. Further breakdown is roughly a pound a week and with 25 more weeks until vacation, I can hopefully achieve this.
I will keep checking in with you ol'bloggie and hopefully next week there will be less than me.

Week 1 of my life long journey
So today is January 16, 2010 and as of today my scale gave me 3 different weights. I decided to put the highest weight given and it is from this weight that all of my tracking will take place. As of today I am 211lbs. I know that this weight is drastically high but I am happy to report that my all time high of 218 was last year and thankfully I did not gain all of that back.
I was doing well with working out at the gym, training for my 1/2 marathon and weight lifting. But with getting injured, having three jobs and spending so much time with Caleb I really have not had enough time to work out as much as I need to. But this is my way of keeping track and keeping myself accountable.
My goal is to write in this at least once a week to track my weight and my progress. I am going to start eating 1600 calories/day, work out 4 days a week and incorporate more water, fruits and veggies into my diet. Well I need to not call it diet, but my life change plan.
So here is me at 211 and hoping to get down to my height appropriate weight which according to Weight Watchers is 134-164. That means I need to lose 47 pounds. So to make a huge goals like this I must be specific..so here goes.
1. Work out at the gym Sunday, Tuesday & Thursdays.
2. Go running on Saturdays
3. Weight lift and Flat Belly Diet DVD on Sunday, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday.
4. Eat 1600 calories a day, my goal is to have a larger lunch.
5. Plan out my meals every Sunday and cook it also.
6. Weigh myself every Sunday and once I do that, blog.
7. After every 5lbs lost get a redbox movie to celebrate.
Well here is goes..wish me luck and the ability to do this successfully.
