Friday, April 8, 2011

Weight:  164.6
Breakfast:  1 1/2 cups coffee, Luna Bar
Snack:  3 egg white burrito with cheese and salsa in wheat tortilla
Snack:  (I sure do snack a lot!) Handful of trail mix, VitaTop blueberry muffin
Lunch:  Today was my cheat day:  Chicken broccoli and fried rice and egg drop soup at Fusion Bowl...and a Skinny Cow Dulce de Leche low fat ice cream for dessert
Dinner:  3 boiled egg whites, salad (spring mix) with 1 tblsp italian dressing and a few roasted salted almonds on it (YUM!  It was WAY better than I thought!)
Exercise:  Short walk with the dog...Went to the gym but IT WAS CLOSED!  They close at 8pm and I got there at 8:10.  I should totally get some extra calories burned for just ATTEMPTING on a Friday night!

First I want to start by saying that I just realized that for yesterday's weight I said I weighed 155.6.  Yeah, um...not so!  I'm in the 160s right now, so if you see me do that, it's just an error on my part. 

Secondly...YAY!  I finally made it to my first short-term goal!!!  Finally I weigh under 165.  I know, I know, it seems like a silly goal...basically only a pound of weight lost that I'm super duper excited about...but it just seems to me that short-term goals are better when you're dealing with a very possibly long-term project. 

What short-term goal should you make that would help you attain your long-term goal?  My next goal to reach is 159.  Not 160, but 159.  I want to be able to say that I weigh less than 160!

So what IS my long-term goal, anyway, and how do I know what it should be?  Here is a site I found that helps you figure out what your "ideal weight" should be.  It bases it on BMI.  http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

According to this, my ideal weight should be between 121-160 pounds.  I'm realistic and don't expect myself to ever weigh 120 again...(my old highschool weight!).  I weighed about 140 when I got married almost 6 years ago, so that's my final goal!  What's yours?
