Okay, so I was looking over my goals for 2010.  I want to lose 20lbs.  I had lost 15 last year pretty quickly but when I started helping my mom with my grandfather my diet went for crap and I've gained all the weight back.  Here I sit, back at 175lbs - which wouldn't be bad...cause I don't look bad...but my sisters and I have sort of bet/challenge going on to see who loses weight by June.

So my goal once again is 155lbs.  I went over to My Fitness Pal...which I used last year when I lost that weight and reset my goal.  (The link to my profile is down the main page of my site on the left).  Today I did my workout and I'm fairly sure that tomorrow I will be sore as hell and suffering.  Thankfully, here at first I only have to do that kind of workout three times a week.  I do weights, walking, and jogging.  I love dance aerobics so I might work that in once I'm not so sore anymore.

Also, I did not go over my sodium intake for today!  YAY!  I love that about My Fitness Pal - the way its set up it allows you to keep an eye on alot of things.  I've chosen to watch calories, fat, carbs, protein, sodium, and cholesterol. 

I also...yuck...drank 9, yes nine, glasses of water today and only 2 pops.  While I only drink Diet Caffeine free Dr. Peppers and there is no fat or calories, they still have alot of sodium. 

Now the thing is, if I lose 20lbs, I won't be in a different size clothes.  LOL  I'll still be wearing my 14 jeans.  I'd have to weigh 135lbs to get down to a 12 and to get to 135lbs I would have to starve myself and I would look like I was starving too.  I'm 5ft 6.  I look best 145lbs to 155lbs.

Anyway, I have a great metabolism and used to keep around 145lbs.  But since we started Cobblestone Press back in 2006, I'm sitting at this desk most of the day and night.  And everything that goes into my mouth ends up cushioning my butt.  LOL  So my goal is really to tighten everything up and get healthy.

So what do I get if I win the challenge?  A new outfit.  My sisters and I are doing this challenge and my brother in law is going to buy a new outfit for the winner.  I imagine he'll be pissed if we all win - lol.  One sister has already started losing weight.  Sooooo, I've gotta play catch up I guess.

Win I win this challenge, I'm most likely gonna go for losing another ten pounds before Christmas.  If I do get back down to 145lbs...I'm going to quit smoking.  No need looking like a hottie and be all in shape if I'm going to continue to smoke.  I'll end up being very very slim but with wrinkles around my mouth like I'm eighty.  Soooooo - I've started today in meeting the weight goal I set for 2010 in my New Year Resolutions.

Anybody want to do this with me?

I'm with you! :) My coworkers and I started using The Daily Plate (www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate) to track our calories and exercise back in October and I lost 15 pounds fairly quickly (2 months). However, since December I've been at a serious stall and still need to lose (cringes) 60 pounds. Of course, part of that plateau has been my own fault, so I need a swift kick in my humongous pants to get back on track. :) I'll be happy to the same for you. :)

Kate - YAY! I've actually decided to buckle down this month. I'm burning alot more calories than what I log with my floor exercises but I don't have one of those little arm calorie counter thingies yet. I'm trying to guess based on how many calories I burn with other exercises I can see a calorie burn for. I'll tell you...it's these squats I'm doing against the wall that are kicking my butt. I started watching The Biggest Loser to get some ideas of good exercises to add to my workout...1) I have a girl crush on Jillian 2) I believe if she were training me I would have to headbutt the b when she yelled in my face. LOL I'm really geared up and excited about this month though! Let's shed some pounds!

LOL. I know what you mean about Jillian. I just bought her 30 Day Shred DVD, then discovered I can have it for free with my Comcast On-Demand. I pulled a muscle in my shoulder cleaning house over the weekend and have been laid up with ice packs for a couple of days, but I'm ready to get back on track. (Moral of the story: housework is dangerous to your health and should be avoided at all costs!) :)
