69 Days and Counting...

Fat Girl Slimmed did a post last week when there was exactly 69 days until the one year anniversary of our blog. There are fewer days now (only 60, how crazy is that?!), but here's my version of that post...

What's the one thing I want more than anything? To lose weight. So that's my first goal.

I want to weigh 155 pounds

Now, this isn't my goal weight, and it's not even an ambitious 2 pound a week loss. It's 10 pounds less than I weight right now, and about a 1.2 pound per week loss. Am I not aiming high enough? I don't think so. I think I'm being realistic in looking at the way my body works. I just DO NOT drop weight fast. I just don't. So why set myself up for failure when I have a chance at feeling a real sense of accomplishment? And if I do lose more? Right on!!!

I want to get back to eating healthfully

If you've read this blog for awhile you know that we are huge proponents of the green smoothie. Yeah, guess how long it's been since I had one? I am going to include at least one fruit or vegetable in every single meal and snack that I have. That's right, even my snacks.

I want to workout every single day

It's not that I want to overdo it. I'm not talking balls-to-the-wall every day. But your body was made to move. And that's what I'm going to do. I plan on having 5-6 days with "real" workouts - running, weights, what not - and 1 or 2 days where I do something nice and easy like going for a long walk or doing some relaxing yoga for flexibility.

So, what would like to accomplish in the next 60 days???

And just so you know, comments = mad love. We can't get enough of them!!!

69 Is A Good Number, I Think...

69 days. Just 69 days and we've been at this blogging business for ONE WHOLE ENTIRE FREAKING YEAR. Lawdy, how did this happen?!?!?!? I have no clue, but bottom line, our blog-iversary [totes not a word] is almost upon us. What better time to make some goals for the next 69 days. I need challenge. I need something to work towards. It's time.

So what would I like to accomplish by the time we've been goin' at it for a year?? The first one is very basic. I want the thing I set out for first and foremost.

I want to have lost 50 lbs total.

This is attainable. 69 days from now is almost 10 weeks away, and if I maintain a 2 lb a week loss, I should be able to wipe out the remaining 20 lbs to get me to that number. I just need to keep my head out of my ass and my eyes on the prize. Easier said than done, I realize.

My second goal is so ridiculous I almost find it funny, but I WANT it bad.

I want to get up every SINGLE morning for the next 69 days to exercise.

Yep, you read that right. 69 days of making my health my utmost priority. 69 days of saying, "Fuck you comfortable bed! You won't give me a nice ass!!!" I can do it, I think.

Finally, and probably the easiest for me...

I want to re-introduce myself to meditation.

Simple enough, but by the time we reach January, I want to be meditating again on a daily basis.

69 days. Unreal, people. Unreal!!!

And now it's Muffin Top's turn. Stay tuned for that tomorrow.
