WHERE I WANT TO BE HEALTH-WISE FOR 2013

Good Evening and Happy Sunday

Tonight is a night of reflection and planning. I think sometimes we as humans can get lost in our own frustrations and forget all about the successes we have achieved. Today is a day that I will praise myself, plan out my goals for the 5-6 months, and mold myself into who I want to be. The first step is to list all of the accomplishments that I have achieved thus far. 

POSITIVES

In 2 years I:

1. Lost over 100 lbs.

2. Beat type 2 diabetes and pushed it into remission.

3. Maintained a healthy blood sugar level

4. Been able to run and walk around without being sweaty and winded

5. Been able to walk into almost any store and buy what ever clothes that I wanted

6. Able to love shopping and look forward to wearing new clothes

7. Maintained the difficult and tumultuous relationship between binging on any and all types of food, and understanding the how foods affect my body.

8. Been a motivator and a system of support for all those trying to achieve fitness and wellness.

NEEDS WORK:

1. Although I've lost weight, I struggle daily with food intake and motivation.

2. Going on vacations and not over eating

3. Coming back from vacations and getting back to eating clean and exercising

4. Learning when to say no to food

5. Pushing myself daily and maintaining a strict but achievable fitness regime.

6. LOSING THESE LAST 50-60LBS ...I HAVE SPENT A YEAR YO-YOING AND OSCILLATING BETWEEN 225-235 LBS.

WHERE I WANT TO BE JANUARY 1, 2013

1. I'd like to be under 173 lbs

2. I'd like to have a healthy BMI

3. I'd like to have been able to conquer my addiction and noxious relationship with food ( the endless cycle of binging, exercising, losing, binging, gaining, giving up, hating myself, starting again and the cycle continues).

4. I'd like to stop having this enmity with food. I'd like to be able to appreciate and enjoy food as a necessary for fueling my body and molding it to its highest potential.

5. Achieve a new level of fitness and maybe do the half-marathon race in Boston

6. Being fit and strong in all levels of my fitness

These are the goals I have for myself, I am resetting myself and want again doing some much needed self-introspection. I think that in the month of August I will try to lose 10 lbs each month. That will be my goal...8-10lbs each month puts me at a 45-50 lb weight by January 2013.
