Back from the gym

I took it easy today, and only did two miles on the treadmill, followed by a half-hearted attempt at abdominal work. I just didn't want to over-do it and then not want to go back. Next time, three miles. I also promised myself to find the yoga DVD that's packed away in a box and actually stretch it out tonight. I called my girlfriend Rhonda to see if she had anything I could use.

Food-wise, I'm going to cut back on some of my carb intake, and increase my protein and leafy greens. More fresh fruits/veggies, less bread and noodles. Which means, basically, that helushki for me is going to be off limits, unless I primarily eat only the cabbage and skip on the noodle pieces.

I weighed myself too. Gah. Let's just say I have 51 lbs to lose to get to my target weight.

Even though I had guessed about 50 lbs, I was sad to realize that it was quite the reality. Now, for the execution of the plan to drop this dead weight.

All I can think about is how cute I'm going to look rocking out that pair of jeans that I love so much... it's a motivator. I'm contemplating hanging them on the wall behind my bedroom door. I need to find myself a workout buddy too, I'm incredibly self motivated, but I know that on days I'm feeling lazy, depressed or pre-menstrual, I probably won't want to do anything but lay around- and I need a buddy who will deliver a swift kick in the ass on those days.

That's all for now. Time for me to do my daily housework dash, in my sneakers... I think that some of this should count as aerobic exercise.

The New Diet...

I'm quite excited to share that I'm finally ready to take the steps needed to get my ass back in shape. I've let it slide a little too long, and I'm bummed that some of my favorite clothes can't be worn because my ass is too large for them!

I've got a great wardrobe a couple sizes smaller than I am right now, and damn it, it's time I did something about this!

SO... I start my new diet and workout plan Sunday. I'm giving myself one last weekend of silliness, then BAM, taking it to the next level.

I'm currently pudgy, and wish to be svelte once again. That is all for tonight, as my eyelids are drooping and it's beyond my bedtime.
