Oh em gee. It has been so long since I posted. That ish cray. lol.. But lots of stuff has been going on and also nothing at all has happened.
Sooo here is where I am at.
-Newman and I picked up and moved to White Marsh (Ch-Ch-Changesssss again) in early July. A friend of mine bought a condo and Newman and I are renting a room and I HAVE MY OWN BATHROOM! Whaaaaat. I don't think I've ever in my life had my own bathroom. Ohhhhh the little things.
-As of this week, jumpstarting the weightloss journey again. I've been slacking (not gaining thankfully) for the past couple of months and frankly I have no reason to be. I was thinking the other day (I have a lot of thinking time it seems) that why stop now? Sure I may like the way I am now but I am not fully satisfied. I know I can do this and I've come so far (65ish gosh darn pounds) so there is no reason to stop or even give up. I am changing it up this time and setting mini goals for myself. I THINK I would like to lose another 45-65lbs. I am currently weighing in at 227-224lbs (depending on the day). I would like to see myself at 165-175, I think. I don't really know though. So more goal breaking down will be later in this post.
-Work is still the same, though I am constantly looking.
-Getting my ass to CCBC soon so I can get signed up for some pre-reqs for the RN program there (Wooop).
And that's about it, minus some unruly details and good times that have happened over the past 2 months.
So let me break down my new weightloss plan to get the rest of this fluffy stuff off me.
I am eating clean 80% of the time and if I feel I want to indulge or go out drinking that is my 20% of the time. But even over the last couple of months when I've been "slacking" my "bad" decisions aren't really all that bad. My portion sizes are still small and if I decide I want fries I don't eat something shitty with them, I get something healthIER like a wrap and water or something rather than fries & a cheesteak & a soda.
So yeah 80/20 Clean eating.
Goal is kinda around 165-175. I'm breaking it down, so I am looking at smaller picture rather than the big huge intimidating one.
So I have broke it down into small increments.
I would like to:
Be down to 210 or less by August 31st.
Be down to 195 or less by October 15th.
Be down to 180 or less by December 15th (MY BDAY!!!)
And if I want to be smaller (not sure what I'll look like at 180) then I would like to be as low as 160 by February 1st.
I may have underset these goals but I want to be realistic. The first 60-65lbs came off pretty fast, and I also wasn't working out that hard. It was mostly changing my eating habits.
So now that I'm incorporating Cardio 4-6 times a week, I HOPE it will fall off just as fast but I'm really not sure. So who knows maybe I'll blow my goals out of the water and lose it faster, but maybe I won't. Either way this is my journey and I'm focused on me.
A friend of mine is going to help me with weight training/toning. Not because I'm "want" to build muscle but because I want to tone & strengthen some areas. This friend has been doing amazingly as well and I get motivation from her!
I know I can do this so here we go again.
