Time Has Really Gone By

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in forever! Well here I am now.

I have not lost anymore weight than when I started. I currently weigh 166.6 (I do not like the 666 thing and want to change it NOW!) I want to lost a pound a week, this is completely foreseeable. I mean all I have to do is cut out 3500 calories. So, I have decided to cut out my sweet tea. It will save me about 630 calories a week, and that was drinking 3 glasses a day. I know that I drink more than that, that was just on average. For my coffee I am going to cut out some of the sugar as well. With this cutting I will save myself 1260 calories a week. Yea, that is sad to say it came from beverages, but it's true. This means, that I can drink water, water water and cut some of the sugar out of my coffee. I will only have 2240 calories left to get rid of a week. That being said, snacking after dinner (before bed), is outta the question. Smaller portions are my best friend as well as yogurts, jellos and puddings. The small already portioned stuff, which we have a fridge full of!

So, exercise needs to play a part in this...I will aim for 20 minutes a day of exercise. The more the better but 20 is a good start.

So I want to lose a pound a week in 17 weeks. This would be 17 pounds. Sounds like a lot to me, but in reality it's not changing much. Just the way I eat and live, which are essential to being healthy. And a pound a week is a healthy rate of weight loss.

If I lose a pound a week as I hope, I will weigh 149 pounds by the end of the 17 weeks. That would be totally awesome. I know that it's Tuesday and I should have started yesterday but I didn't. I am sadly addicted to Chex Mix. It's delish, and I can't help myself. No more!

So here's to 17 pounds in 17 weeks!
