Decreasing the Fat

Previous weight: 263lbs

Current weight: 260lbs
Weight lost: 3lbs

Yay! I'm in the double digits of weight loss! I was asked this morning about my first goal for this adventure. I don't have a first goal. My goal is to get healthy and feel like a 25 year old. Then thinking about it a little more, I would say every 10lbs would be a great thing to celebrate for me. That seems realistic and would probably be around a once a month celebration. So, yay! for reaching my first goal!

I would like to get my steady weight down to 200lbs (have 60 more to go) and see how I feel at that point. I would love to do that by the end of the year. If I continue losing at least 2lbs a week, I will definitely get close. I don't want to get in over my head, but starting next year off strong would be a great feeling. Time flies so quickly now that I'm sure December will be here before I know it! We'll take our next family picture at that point. My sister and I should both be much happier with ourselves/willing to partake in that.

Late Night Activities

I know it's not recommended to do physical activities (for

exercise) shortly before going to bed - but it's becoming so hot

outside - it's one of the two good times to do them (the other

being the morning and some

times that's not possible).

Tonight I just finished mowing

the lawn. I consider this

physical activity as part of my exercise because it increases my

heart rate and I normally wouldn't have done it at all in the past. I

have recently started to mow family members yards as well to get

up, outside and moving. Nice paid bonus in it as well! :D

I will get up earlier in the morning (5am, eeek) and attempt to do

my half hour exercise. I will have the rest of the day if I decide I

want to do more. I bought some products to clean my motorcycle

with as it's getting a bit dirty so I will make that a goal for my late

night activity tomorrow night as well.
