Tomorrow I'm beginning a 40 Day intensive challenge to get below 200lbs by the end of Lent. I'm not catholic, but it's as good a time as any to give up sweets and junk food and to put focus on activity.
The plan includes:
- Working out every morning at the gym (They open at 6am!)
- Going to the gym after work if my whiny, lazy inner child won't let me wake up early enough
- Following a balanced meal plan (kinda like weight watchers)
- Counting the calories in everything I eat
- Weighing every Sunday and measuring on 2/17, 3/10 and 3/28
- Drinking a ton of water and only 1 beer or glass of wine/week
- Avoiding sugar and fatty meats like the plague and limiting my bread intake
- Updating my blog daily, like the good old days
I've been feeling really discouraged lately and giving up the fight on a daily basis and it would be super helpful if everyone that reads this would send me notes of encouragement throughout this endeavor.
Thanks in advance for all of your support!
