Day Two:

Day one was yesterday and I'm not quite sure what brought me to the verge, but there it was. A little over a year ago I had been active, maintaining my weight with the gym and light dieting for a good couple of years. I had slight fluctuations, but would average 140 pounds. This was within a healthy BMI and although I wanted to lose more weight, I didn't ever step up my routine.

A little over a year ago, my structure changed and while I wouldn't say I got lazy, I definitely lost discipline in certain areas. A death in the family put me in a different state for almost two weeks. This was during the holidays, so I found about 10 pounds that month. Continuing, I went back to college for nursing (super busy), turned 30-years-old, and packed on another 20 pounds!

Not surprisingly, my clothes quit fitting and when I weighed a whopping 167 pounds, I started trying to be more careful, but my dedication simply wasn't there. Looking at the scales yesterday, I weighed in at 159.7 pounds. Now under the 160 mark, I have set a goal weight of 125 by May 25th. I plan to attain this by limiting caloric intake to 1,200 calories per day with a 500 calorie cardio burn. This should result in a loss of 2 pounds per week. I am not telling myself I can't have certain foods, but in order to stay full, healthy foods are the only way I can meet the 1,200 calorie max quota.

That said, here I go. Day two and I'm measuring foods, keeping a food diary, not cooking with salt, using this website as a tool to keep calorie count, and the gym is done for today. With persistence and effort, I can take the tags off that swimsuit I bought for last year this summer!
