How's that for a positive journal title?
I decided it's time to start a new journal, since I'm recommitting to getting fit and healthy and dropping some of this extra weight.
The weight and measure session this morning was not fun, but it was a wake-up call. Here it is:
Weight: 155 - an all time high
Bust: 41.5
Chest: 36
Waist: 37.5
Tummy: 43
Hips: 42
Thighs: 40 L=25.5 R=25
OK, there it is in print. Now it's time to take some action.
The daily plan includes:
1. Devotions and Bible reading - I'll need God's help on this journey.
2. Pills - meds & multivitamin every day.
3. Water - at least 60 oz.
4. Healthy eating - NOT the kind of eating I've been doing lately. Generally LC with some extra fruit thrown in.
5. Exercise - at least SOMETHING every day, even if it's just stretching. I'm aiming for 6 days of exercise and a 7th day of stretching only. 4 days will include cardio (generally my training walk/run for the half marathon) and 3 days will include weight training (using the circuit at the health club). I'll be scheduling time with a personal trainer so I'll tweak this at her discretion.
6. Reasonable bedtime - no more staying up late and trying to "create" more hours in my days. I need my sleep - at least 7 hours per night.
Weigh-in and measurements will officially be on Monday morning, with weight checks throughout the week just to make sure.
This looks practically identical to what I've been trying to do, but today I start again with new resolve.
I want to celebrate my success in 7 weeks at the Ocean City Maryland half marathon. I want to cross that finish line feeling leaner and healthier.
Here we go!
