My goals for 2011 are:
Lose 20 pounds. This is the 20 pounds I lost in 2006/2007. I kept it off for awhile, but , as you can see from the before and after pictures below, after a few moves, getting married, and a new job, the weight is back with a vengeance!
Run a 5k in under 30 minutes - 15 pounds ago I was pretty close to this goal. I realize it's not super fast, but for me that 30 minutes is a huge mental block for me. Now that I'm heavier, I'm about 5 minutes away from this goal, which seems completely insurmountable.
Stop eating when I'm not hungry - I eat when I'm hungry. I also eat when I'm sad, lonely, happy, stressed, etc. You see the problem.
Drink more water, less Mountain Dew - I love Mountain Dew. Love it. It's the best. I dislike water. It's just not that good. But I realize I need it. I also realize that the artificial sweetener and caffeine in my diet Mountain Dew is not good for me.
So, any tips for me? Have you overcome any of these issues?
I'm way excited about this blog!! :) If you ever want a guest post on dieting/weight loss, let me know. I just got done doing 25 sit ups, so I'm pretty much at trainer status.
ReplyDeleteBut for real, I need tips and am excited to get some from you!
I do want a guest post! That would be awesome.

ReplyDeleteMy internet isn't working, lol. I somehow deleted my comment. So here it is again. I would like to recommend Swai fish. It is pretty inexpensive and it is quite tasty. It is VERY low in calories. I broil it with garlic and olive oil. Stephen hasn't stopped talking about it since I made it. :)
ReplyDeleteBrittani, where do you buy that fish?
ReplyDeleteThe fish we get is at Winco. But I do believe it is at Walmart and Sams Club. We seriously have it twice a week or more, lol
