BabyG79’s BodyBlog

Well I’m renewing my goals as I’m getting bored with myself staying at 150.  I kind of had a hiatus from the  gym for the month of July since DH’s little brother and sister stayed with us and we could not leave them alone in the evenign while we worked out after leaving them alone all day while we worked.  At any rate.  I’m starting school again, and full time this semester, on Monday.  So between 40 - 50 hours of work and 3 hours of school every night, I need a plan of attack if I’m going to stay in shape.  I have good intentions of getting to the gym Mon - Thur from 4:00 - 5:30 after work and before school, but the road to fat is paved with good intentions.  SO, as a back up strategy, I’m back on a restricted calorie diet today to assist in my weight loss goals.  It’s been a little difficult over the past few months since we’ve had people living with us and we’ve been entertaining a lot to keep my calories below 1600, but I’m motivated to get back on track.  After looking at my weight history I do realize that I’ve kept myself at a maintenance weight that is 13 - 17 lb less then what I was three years ago, so that’s something I feel good about.  I guess I blocked out being in the 160’s.  At any rate, I’m setting an unrealistically low goal weight of 115 lb in the hopes that I will hit 125 by Thanksgiving.  This is a healthy weigh loss for me and very doable at 1.9 lbs per week (down from 150).  I’m shooting for a BMI of 20.  Currently I’m at 24.

I’m updating my fit day jounal with daily food intake.  I’m going to try and keep it up for at least a week   I don’t want to over-promise!
