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!
