Operation lose 30 elbees by June 1, 2010

Last night, before bed...I hopped on the scaled and saw the most horrifying thing ever...170.4 pounds.  I never thought I would EVER reach this weight, nor did I ever think I would publicly admit to being this weight, but I need to hold myself accountable.  Granted, I told myself that you should never weigh yourself at night because your stomach is full, etc. But, I needed to get a smack of reality.

So, today is my first day back to work after taking a long weekend for New Years. Today is my first day back to reality.  Today is my first day back to changing my eating habits and making myself a healthier me.

Today officially starts goal numero 26 - lose 30 pounds by June 1, 2010. I'd like to eventually lose more weight than 30...I'd like to reach 125-130. But, I'm not going to get a head of myself.  I'll make another goal once I accomplish losing 30 pounds.

How am I going to get this done?
I am going to:
  1. cut down to eating out a maximum of once a week.
  2. drink 2L of water a day (#28)
  3. go to the gym a minimum of once a week...after I get use to that routine, I will up it to 2 days (#25)
  4. Sign back up for WW.
  5. Follow MB's 200 in 2010 blog and make at least 30 recipes from her blog (#50)
I lost 20 pounds in 3 months the first time I joined weight watchers. I had a lot less to lose then...so, 30 pounds in 6 months should be a sinch.  Here's hoping!

  1. I read the title of your update and was like "There are 30 Elbees? I thought there was just one at Store Admin!"

    I really need to learn how to read more carefully!
