Cough. Um. Hi. My food/exercise diary to lose ten - make that twelve since this morning - pounds, the amount that I guess will take me to a flat stomach.
Here's a brief background on me: early twenties, been fat, no bones about it, as a kid and teenager, but became almost slender by accident of poverty a few years back. Now I want to be actually slender, slim and lean and toned and all that, instead of bellyish and wobbly, so I'm going to try a deliberate diet. No calorie counting or supplements or pills, just healthy eating and moderate proportions.
I guess I need to set myself some goals and groundrules. I don't like the word goal though. So I'm gonna call them Challenges instead.
Challenges:
Get up one morning this year at six am and go for a 2 mile run. I can't run two miles, and I'm not a morning person.
* Flat stomach!!!
* Be able to touch my toes
* Be able to do the splits
* Be able to do a pullup
* From this Saturday until next saturday, eat entirely healthy. No oversize portions. No cakes for snacks. No chocolate. Goodbye chocolate :wave_cry:
These aren't weight related because I don't know exactly what weight is my just right weight, but I think 125 pounds will be around about there. I have a small frame, and low muscle tone.
Groundrules:
* I am not on a diet when I'm at a social occassion
* Every time I buy a block of chocolate and eat the whole thing in a day or two, I will donate ten bucks to charity.
* Always eat three square meals a day
* Stop using the udon bowl for pasta.
* Stretch every night
* exercise every day
* Record weight each Friday morning.
* Record measurements every month.
Hopefully these will be things which will become habits. I'm off tomorrow morning to buy a lot of fruit and veggies for the eat entirely healthy challenge. The past two weeks have been pretty bad with stress eating because of exams and a lot of social occassions involving heavy food. Hopefully this will kickstart me into being healthy and get rid of the two pounds that magically appeared between last friday and this. I think one of those pounds is ToM but my belly isn't all bloat.
