So this has been a fabulous week for all of my friends and family! I'm so excited to share with you all: My cousin Jana just announced that she has set her wedding date for May 14, my cousin Courtney just got engaged this last Saturday, and my friend Kristen found out that she is expecting twins. Life is wonderful in this moment in time.
I have even more motivation than ever to start really losing weight and making that lifestyle change. My cousin's wedding is a great first benchmark for me. By May, I would like to lose 20 more pounds. I think that is completely achievable. Given the amount of exercise that I'll be doing on a regular basis, in addition to my eating habits. Here are some goals that I have set for myself:
1. No more late night snacking!
2. Drink 8 or more glasses of water a day
3. Water will be the only beverage of choice from now on
4. Allow one day per week, just one, to splurge on anything I want
5. Quit the alcohol and cigarettes
6. Reduce portions, and eat smaller meals throughout the day
7. Cut back on sweets to two times a week ;)
I feel like those are pretty reasonable goals. So this will be starting tomorrow. I think that's how I work best, just dive right into it, cold turkey. Hopefully I'll see results shortly here. From September to November I lost 17 pounds by eating strictly salads with chicken and vegetables at night. (Carbs in the morning, no late night snacking, and no sweets.) It's tough, but I think it'll be well worth it.
Plus, with my Courtney getting married sometime next year, I would love to look slimmer because I'll be in the bridal party. Woot! And now that Kristen is going to be having twins..well I'll now have 3 little ones to chase after instead of just one haha, so I've got to be in the best shape of my life haha.
Today was wonderful and tomorrow will be even better.
Now for the song of the day, I bring to you is "Everything to Me" by Tamarama.
Love and all that,
