In Theory
This is my way of staying accountable, by announcing to the web that I’m going back on the food diary wagon. Tomorrow morning I’m getting up early and heading to Lifetime Fitness to get my metabolic numbers so I’ll know how many calories my body needs. Then I will be able to calculate how much I can eat and how much I need to work out in order to lose weight. This is part of what I did before that worked so well. In my opinion it’s the scientific, non-sexy way to lose weight. It requires math (thank goodness for spreadsheets) and honesty, but like I said it worked last time.
I’m halfway to my original goal, ok, maybe more like three-fifths. Still, I’ve got a ways to go. Even though I’m extremely proud of my results thus far I knew I wasn’t going to be happy with myself if I settled. So here’s to not settling! Here’s to not being afraid of swimsuit season! Here’s to being a strong healthy woman (and an example to our daughter).
Oh! did I mention I’ve committed to a 5K in May. Yikes!
