Otto's Journal, 30 December 2010

I started easing myself into full-fledge trying again this week. I decided not to wait until the new year to start doing what I know I need to be doing. I planned on going full force this week but haven't seem to get the timing for my workouts going yet so I'm giving myself a pass on the required amount of hours for this week only. I've done at least 30 minutes every day and that seems like a good start. So, here are my goals for 2011:

1. Eat right around 1200 calories a day.
2. Work out for 10 hours every week.
3. Keep a journal of daily workouts and weigh ins.

I have been weighing myself every morning and recording it in my paper journal, but I'll only record weekly weigh ins on here. The calorie counts on this site are way off for me according to my bodybugg so I'm not going to bother entering in my exercise. My bodybugg subscription has lapsed and I haven't decided if I'm willing to pay any more for it. Maybe once I get the hang of my new schedule and really want to get the most out of my workouts, I'll reconsider. But, for right now, I think the fact that I'm up and moving is good enough for me.

I changed my weight loss goal. Not that I don't still want to weigh 112 lbs, but I need to focus on something more attainable for right now. I'm going on a cruise May 1st and I would love to be down to 130 by then. That means losing 1.5 lbs a week. Completely doable if I stay focused! I hate looking at pictures of me from the cruise I went on last summer. I refuse to look like that again this summer. I want to be able to wear shorts and not be paranoid that everyone is looking at my sausage legs.

Anyway, goals have been set and written down where other people can see them and call me out if I'm not making the progress I should be making. Although, I really don't think I'm going to need any external motivation this time. It's time. And I know it's time. So I got this :-)
