Time to kick it back into gear. As you probably recall, back in August I weighed in at just over 241 lbs. I managed to get all the way down to 195.5 and have held right around 200 lbs ever since. My ultimate goal is 190. I've been eating fairly well, exercising/running 2-4 days/wk and pretty much maintaining around the 200 lb mark. Obvioulsy I must have been pretty content with that because I hadn't kicked it back into gear until now.
Finally a little motivation, a patient of mine was not meeting the goals he set for himself. Now, he was still gradually losing weight but not at the rate he wanted. So, I opened my big mouth and challenged him to set a weight loss goal. I told him that I would meet my 190 lb goal by the date of his next appointment if he would set an achievable goal for himself and meet it. So, the battle is now ON! I've got my game plan which focuses a lot of physical activities during the weekend (my worst time) as well as other physical activities during the week. By keeping busy during the weekends and not gaining that little bit of extra weight, I will be able to meet my goal. I expect his next appointment to be in 2-3 weeks so I've got to get on the wall. Here's the plan:
Cardio/workout - 3 days during the week plus Saturdays and Sundays
Fitday - Beginning today, commit to documenting my food intake until I reach my goal!
NOW, best of all, REWARDS!, ladies beware, this can be gross to some so get ready for it.........laser hair removal on my back, LOLOLOL! I've wanted to do this for a while but wouldn't until I had reached my goal. So, here it is! Once I reach my goal I'm going to get it done. It's a long term process of one treatment every 6 weeks and will take almost 9 months to complete. I can't wait. So, stay tuned. I'll document everything here including fitday logs, exercise logs and eventually pictures once I meet my goals.
