Okay, so my husband and I are attending a wedding in California the first weekend in May. It's about 11 weeks away. We are going early to enjoy some fun in the sun before the big event. I am about 35 pounds heavier than I want to be right now...and for this wedding! I'm really good at maintaining my weight, heck, I've maintained my post baby weight for five years now! The only problem is that my post baby weight is 35 pounds heavier than I should be. I have been "trying" to lose (or is it loose??) this weight for years, but I haven't been trying hard enough. I have 11 weeks to lose the weight. I will not go to the wedding feeling like I let myself down!!
I did Weight Watchers when I was in college and lost 20 pounds, so I know that works for me. My plan is to do the WW point system and workout 6 days a week...three days of cardio and three days of weight training. I always start these plans and only last about a week, but not this time! I have decided that one lost day will not turn into one lost week, which has been my track record.
So, starting today, I am on a mission to lose this stupid weight! Not only am I working toward my goal of dropping 30 pounds in 11 weeks, I am also training for a July 4th 10k in Atlanta. My husbands family does this race every year and I'm going to run the whole thing for my 30th birthday! That's my gift to myself. I've already started run/walking on the treadmill at my house! I have a long way to go before I can run a 10 min. mile, but isn't that the point of "training"?
I will keep you all updated on my progress...the weight loss and the running. I have to be honest, I hate all of this! I hate dieting, I hate working out, but I know I will be more than disappointed with myself if I don't change my life today. I'm going to buy the most fab dress for this wedding and it's going to be a size 10!!! I just want to be a perfect 10...again.
later

Good luck Heidi! I'm trying to lose for a wedding too-I already have the dress and it currently doesn't zip up. :) We're doing the "Biggest Loser" at work so it is really helping me to have lots of accountability! I've lost 5 lbs so far but need to lose at least 10-15 more by the wedding in May.
ReplyDelete5 lbs...that's great!! I think I've lost a couple of pounds so far. I forgot to weigh myself the first day, but I feel like I've lost some. I'm supposed to walk/run tonight, but I'm really tired...but I'm going to do it anyway! You have inspired me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, hopefully we can motivate each other!
