So I’ve been in this constant battle with my weight since I can remember. I have moments when I’m small then moments I get tubby again… And guess what I’m looking quite tubby. The winter months don’t help much as all I want to do is eat comfort food and lay in my warm bed all day. Getting to the gym has been a struggle since the weather dropped below 40°. In case your wondering why its so hard, well I don’t have a car in the city and its a 15 min walk. So, waking up at 6:30 am to walk to the gym in cold weather is just not happening! Ho-hum.. 🙁
So i’ve had enough of the excuses I make, and I am ready for change! In lieu of this I decided to set a goal that I could realistically achieve. I’ve had my share of fad diets and get slim quick programs and I know I want no part of that. I want a lifestyle change.
30 lbs in 30 weeks. 1 pound a week. Now that’s realistic to me! This blog post is my commitment that I will stick to my plan and reach my goal. I am determined to stick to this. To those of you who feel a little like I do I encourage you to join me.
So I start today. New Balances on, iPod in hand..I’m pumped! 🙂
Wish me luck!
P.S… Thanks Mack for the encouraging text this morning! I <3 U!

Your running “equipment” looks much like mine lol. Except I don’t have any Beyonce on my iPod. Instead, I listen to Michael Jacksons BAD. LOL. Very effective. Imagine running like a nutcase around the neighborhood listening to “You know I’m bad, I’m bad, SHA-MON”. I’d be said nutcase. Good luck!

good luck!!!…if u eat right~ stay away from white rice and white bread & soda~ eat fruit & whole wheat products and anything that is rich in color and fresh.. u will loose more then just 1 lb a week its all in what u eat and not eating out…and if u want flavor to ur food add mrs. dash seasoning it has no salt and it makes plain food yummy…oh and eat foods with fiber like apples & celery they eat up body fat…and drink water like its going out of style… and if u do make it to the gym…walk on the treadmill at like 3.5-3.7 speed and the highest incline possible…do that for 45 min and u will be sweating like crazy… and if they have a sauna get in there for 10 to 15 min… i did all that and lost alot of weight… i was taking hydroxy cut at the time…so i lost weight really fast lost…i lost like 13 lbs in 2 weeks but i was working out 5 times a weeks too…but keep ur focus & determination and u can do it…no pain no gain…when ur mind is telling u to quit…tell it to shut up and keep pushing urself…lol..
i see you have an ipod touch and my friend SWEARS by a free app called LOSE IT! basically you enter your current weight, your goal, goal date lose it and it tells you how many calories you’re allowed every day.. it has a database with a ton of foods and their nutritional values . you can enter the amount of exercise you do.. and it readjusts your daily intake as you get closer to your goal!
good luck!
I agree with Nancy. The Lose It APP is awesome.
