Weight Loss
Now that I am thirty, it has become more pressing on my mind to do something about my spare tire. Slowly but surely over the bast ten years since I got married, my weight has increased. The time has finally come to do something about this. With four kids, my decreased energy from my being overweight is not exactly a good thing either.
So as part of my journey to lyving well, I have determined to lose 28 pounds of ugly fat by end of 2008. With just over 7 months till the end of the year, the means I need to lose a little under four pounds a month to reach that goal.
At LyvingWell.com, I will be making Wednesday's "Weight loss Wednesdays." Every Wednesday I will update you all on my progress and what I am doing to reach my goal. This coming Wednesday I lay out my specific action steps I will take to achieve this.
The biggest obstacle for me will be my job. I have job which only engages about 3% of my brain power. Unfortunately, when I am bored, I typically eat. I also have a sweet tooth which further compounds the problem. I am currently attempting to rewire my natural tendency of eating when I am bored into typing when I am bored.
A second major challenge for me in regards to my job is the hour at which it begins. My job begins at 6:30 AM which requires me to wake up at 5:40 AM. If I was a morning person, this would not be a problem. However, my biorhythm is naturally night driven. So not to long ago, I was up to a can of Mountain Dew a day to keep me going. The past couple weeks I have been able to reduce my Dew dependency down to 2 cans a week. No difference noted yet on my weight, but hopefully I will soon.
Clearly I have my work cut out for me. Any ideas anyone has to help me get there faster, feel free to write and let me know. Also feel free to help keep me accountable.
