Goals

1. Lose 10 pounds by April 11th.

2. Lose 50 pounds by December.

The first goal is two weeks from today. I think that would give me a great jump start. It is realistic. My brother is getting married in December, and I want to be several sizes smaller for that. I have been wanting to lose the rest of my weight, and this is just the motivation I needed. I am pumped, and ready.

So, the way I am going to do this is fairly simple. I am going to eat only foods on my plan, and on a schedule. I am going to exercise 30 minutes a day, 5-6 days per week. I am giving up sugar completely. I haven't had any in about the last week, so I know I can do this. Here is my plan:

BREAKFAST: 1/2 whole wheat english muffin or slice of bread, 1 egg, and protein (turkey bacon, or reduced fat cheese)

SNACK: 1 piece fresh fruit or veggie, lean protein, or popcorn

LUNCH: lean protein, reduced fat cheese, veggie

SNACK: 1 piece fresh fruit or veggie, lean protein, or popcorn

SUPPER: lean protein and veggie

SNACK: sugar-free popcicle

This will be difficult. I know that, and I am okay with that. I also know that I can do it. I am not going to beat myself up for small slip-ups. I am going to do this one day at a time. If I mess up today, I am going to start over tomorrow. One day at a time.
