This Year I Learn to Love Myself.

May 26, 2013

I want 2013 to be the year I learn to love myself, care for myself, value myself and show myself that I'm worth it. I haven't done this for a very long time - maybe not ever. I have struggled with my weight my entire life starting on diets when I was 8. I've been on many diets, I've lost and gained weight a countless number of times and ways. My weight has defined me and it has kept me from being the person I want to be and doing the things I want to do. I can't ...

I want 2013 to be the year I learn to love myself, care for myself, value myself and show myself that I'm worth it. I haven't done this for a very long time - maybe not ever. I have struggled with my weight my entire life starting on diets when I was 8. I've been on many diets, I've lost and gained weight a countless number of times and ways. My weight has defined me and it has kept me from being the person I want to be and doing the things I want to do. I can't continue to let it control my life and so I'm not going to let it anymore.

I want to be strong, healthy, happy - someone that other people want to be around. I want to meet new people, get out of my comfort zone (which usually involves food!) and actually live life, not just watch it go by.

I love the support that SP gives me - the more friends the better!

This is my goal:

Think Positively
Exercise Daily
Eat Healthy
Work Hard
Stay Strong
Worry Less

My Goals:
While I don't want to be defined by a number, I do want to have things to strive towards:

I will NOT get on a scale more than once per week.

Start weight
333.4 - 2/25/13

Goals:
- 320 - 3/27/13
- 310 - 4/24/13
- 299 (10%) - 6/6/13
- 289 -
- 279 -
- 266 (20%) -
- 249 (goal for 2013)

Ultimate goal - 179

Other goals:
- to run a 5k by the end of the year
- to be in a healthy weight range for my height (5'10")
- to be a positive person
- to not feel like the largest person in the room all the time
- to shop in regular stores
- to be able to do things like kayaking or fly on airplanes without concern of not fitting
- to have my really expensive Fluevogs fit me properly!
- to be someone that says 'well, I just got back from my run, but SURE I'll go for a walk with you.'

My Program:
Honestly tracking calories with the nutrition tracker every single day. Every single thing I eat. Trying as much as possible to stay within my calories, knowing that some days it might be impossible.

Incorporating exercise.

Cardio - 4x week - walking, workout videos and working a modified c25k program.

Strength training using an exercise ball 2x week

Kundalini yoga - 2x week.

I also quit smoking August 2012 - so continuing to ensure that this sticks.

Personal Information:
I'm 36 yrs old, single, work full-time and live with a grumpy old cat on the west coast of Canada.



Other Information:
The more friends the better!

"Every day of our lives we are faced with a choice.
The choice to BE, or to be truly AMAZING.
Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.
No matter who you are, or what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE."
-Lorna Jane
