New Start

Well, since my weigh ins are on Friday's now....I weighed myself today for a whole new fresh start.

I really wasn't trying all week long or the past month so I figured that I need a new goal to get me motivated. I want to be 175 lbs when school starts the last week of September. So, by Friday September 26th, I want to be 175 lbs. As of right now, I'm 184.0 lbs exactly.

I really believe I can achieve this goal by eating healthy, exercising and having foods I love in moderation while portioning them. My exercise is definitely possible because right now I work nights. That means my work schedule is usually from 3-9:15pm...give or take an hour start time and once school starts, I'll be having night classes Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays. So, this means that if I start now with an exercise routine to do it in the mornings after breakfast, then I won't have to change that routine once school starts. I think that's a great idea.

My second goal is to be 170 lbs by Halloween. This is doable as well and I'm hoping to achieve it quickly!

Another thing, I was watching a fellow YouTuber and she had this awesome idea to buy a planner, or if you already have one, and put stickers on every day that you stay on plan. She's doing weight watchers so she put a sticker for everyday on plan and a sad face for everyday not on plan. She had more stickers than sad faces so she was doing just fine :) That really inspired me to keep going and actually do this because you are seeing first hand how many days you really are staying on track. It's a mini reward for your long term goal. So, today, while we go to Downtown Ferndale for the Dream Cruise, I'll be stopping by the store for stickers to put in my planner. Most likely, they will go in my school planner once I get my books so I'm so looking forward to that :) Thanks Melissa for the idea :)

Anywho, I'm doing laundry and about to get ready to take a walk downtown with Randy so I have to go. Oh and I'm tracking on Sparkpeople so I stay in line with calories and I've also decided to get rid of my most horrible vice of food.....cheese....so far so good. I had scrambled eggs instead of an omelet so yay for me :)
