Resolutions. . . I guess

For some strange reason I am wicked motivated this week. It's like a switch went off in my brain and now, all of a sudden, I have motivation; something I have lacked almost my entire life. So yeah here it is: my game plan in a nutshell.

I have decided that it's not about being skinny; it's about feeling good and healthy. Not gonna lie, getting skinny would be a bonus but I refuse to fixate on that. So here it goes:

Weight Loss Goals-FOOD
* Substitute all drink for water. If I absolutely must have flavor use crystal light.
* Cut portion size! Use a smaller salad plate and follow size of hand rule.
* Get the 100 calorie snack packs or rice cakes for something sweet to maow on
so my blood sugar doesn't get low and I won't binge
* Actually pay attention to calories. . . bah.

Weight Loss Goals-ACTIVITY
* FitZone 3 times a week @ 45 minutes- and hour
* Utilize free gym (treadmill) at KVCC ( I have a free hour between Yoga and bus)
* Be active with Jesse
* 10 minutes of crunches/Yoga in the morning or substitute it instead of t.v. time
* Ask for help with motivation from loved ones

Weight Loss Goals-OTHER
* Track my progress in a journal
* Total daily calorie intake should be: 1690.3

Weight Loss Goals-OVERALL
* Get down to a size 12: Big Picture
* Lose a few pounds a week
* Boost self-esteem
* Be healthier!

So yeah, there you have it. It seems big but in all reality they are just small lifestyle changes, things I can actually be motivated toward and accomplish. No more far fetched I want to be a size 5 by next month crap. LoL! I have already started doing it all too. Most of it anyway. The things I'm not yet, I am at least working toward. Go me.
