Day 2
How can I show I’m committed vs. interested? There have been times that I was definitely committed and during those times nothing distracted me from my goal. Knowing that, I am going to re-create the environment I had at that time. What made me so successful last time was that my schedule was predictable and automatic. Knowing that, I looked at my husband’s school schedule last night and found that he could pick up the kids MWF so I could go home and workout right after school. I had tried to workout in my classroom after school but it never happened. Part of it was that I was embarrassed to do it, and part of it was that my time was very crunched doing it that way. With the new plan, I will be able to leave school around 2:35 which means I can be in my house and working out by 3:00. Hubby will have the kids home around 3:45 and he knows I may stay downstairs until 4:30. I will also exercise one day on the weekend, anything extra will be a bonus.
<> I will take my measurements once a month and weigh myself weekly. As of Tuesday this week my weight was 288.5. My short-term goal is to be in the 270’s by the end of September and then lose 10 pounds a month after that. I also want to be in a pair of size 22 jeans I bought last spring by Halloween and have them be comfortable. Right now I’m a tight 24 or loose 26. Hope everyone else is having success on their journey.
