Starting some where in the middle....

I feel that I’m starting a blog too late in my journey, not to say that I haven’t tried to get one going in the past. I have a new sense of determination though! I’m ring shopping, and that makes the wedding seem all that much closer [YIKES!], and I am determined to look stupendabulous [Stupdendous + Fabulous, I like making up words] :)

Even though I'm well into the journey, I can still give some stats on my start up...if I can find my original measurements... standby

Okay...maybe I can't find the exact, but here we go:

Dec. 2009 ~250lbs Aug. 2011 ~195lbs Total lost: 55lbs

I have been stuck between 195 and 200 lbs for the last year trying to make my new work schedule work for me...Suffice it to say I'm just gonna have to work around it, dang it, why couldn't it be easy ;)

So last week I restarted my Boot camp at TransforME [www.bodybyfrancesbootcamp.com] and though I wasn't very good at attending all my classes, it at least got me excited about going again. So this week I am committed to attending all three classes, and at least one of the weekend classes. On top of that, I am going to start riding my bike every other day [M-W-F] in the mornings.

The hardest part is going to be my would-be-fiancé...

He has been supportive of my weight loss, never having made me feel self conscious about my weight, holding to the fact that he loved me at 250 and he loves me now, no difference. Now, that being said, he has not helped at all with my diet, and since he is home all day for four days, he usually gets to cook dinner before I get home...and they are the typical guy choices... Meat & Potatoe! On top of that, he wants to spend as much time with me as possible when he is not working on his tug boat, and I do to, but he kills my work out when he gives me those puppy dog eyes and whimpers wanting me to come home instead of being an hour later than usual going to my classes...

But that just means I need to be firm and stick to my goals! And mentioning goals, lets start the tradition of Goal Sundays:

Short term [ST]:
~Boot Camp 3-4x's per week
~M-W-F Cycling
~20-30 minutes
~Resist Rich's Puppy Dog Eyes

Long Term [LT]:
~1-1.5 lbs/week
~ 170-175 lbs by Thanksgiving
[Random I know, but its the rough date of completion if I loose between 1 & 1.5 lbs / week]

Goals set! Lets get this Race started!

See y'all tomorrow :D
