Hi Everyone,
After doing SBD in the summer of 2005, I pretty much fell off the beach, went back to my old habits, and packed on the pounds(and more). I was looking at my old posts from that summer, when I had gotten down to 165. It amazes me that I wasn't happy at that weight, considering that I now think of this as a "healthy weight." So, the plan is that I'm restarting the beach one week from tomorrow(May 4th). When I was weighed about a week ago, I was at 207 pounds, which at 5'8, is technically classified as obese on the BMI. Imagine my shock at learning that!
Now, you may be wondering as to why I'm waiting until then to start? I don't get paid until May 1st, and have a decent amount of food around the house that I need to get rid of, to remove all temptation. Additionally, I am making an effort to know that I am mentally and emotionally prepared to do this again, by collecting recipes, making tasks and goals, and hopefully breaking my caffiene habit by then(lots of water, sleep, and advil, coming my way). I'll be food(and exercise) journalling here on a daily basis.
I have a few things that are motivating my weight loss--two weddings that I'm standing up for, as well as a severe lack of self-confidence that has occured as I have packed on the pounds. So here it is...a new start, and a new goal. I currently weigh 207, and I am shooting for 156. If anyone is willing to be a weightloss buddy, let me know. I definitely need the motivation from outside sources. |
