whew... this semester has been nutso, along with work and classes and church and family and fiance, that I really just gave up on paying attention to what I was eating. I have been starting to feel that tightness in my clothes however, and something has got to change NOW before I lose all the progress that I have made!!!!

thanks redneckwoman for giving me a gentle reminder and for also thinking of me! all you other lovely ladies (and men) i'm back, and i'm going to stick around until I finally hit my goal and am able to buy a new wardrobe - which I desperately need to do for the summer... I will be working as a chaplain in a hospital, and need nice work clothes that actually fit (right now, I have one suit and some skirts, and that's all - I gave alot of clothes away after I lost weight last summer). But I refuse to buy clothes if I'm just going to slim my way out of them, so my goal is June 1st - my goal weight is 125...

Okay - so - the plan:
Exercise: 30 min cardio - 3x a week; weights - 3x a week
Food: Bkfst - special k w/ skim & fruit; 100 cal snack; 500 cal lunch; 100 cal snack; working on plans for dinner; 150 cal dessert; goal to limit daily intake to 1500 cals.
Water: I have really done horrible at this since I quit.. I have been drinking WAY too much coffee... so i'm limiting coffee intake to only one mug in the morning, and then my only other liquids for the day will be water and green tea. -48oz water is my first goal...

Okay - I'm back in this!!!! :D
 
Yea Katies back!!!! I missed you!
 
Oh! and i have been posting this in but my dad has been in the hospital for a month because of an injury at work (he lost three fingers on his right hand) - but TODAY he got to come home. He will have nurses visit him at home b/c he is still on IV, but I am so glad! He was 3 hours from home b/c he was airlifted to Mayo Clinic, but now he and my mom (who was living in a hotel room there) can finally rest in their own home again =) YAY!
 
Thanks! I'm glad to be back! I've been avoiding the site b/c i felt so bad about giving up on things lately, but I decided that I had to get back b/c without all of your support I wouldn't be able to do it!!!

I think I will have to start tomorrow morning, b/c I have eaten horribly today - so EVERYONE kick my butt if I don't post or if I do crappy!!!!!
