70 pounds slimmer by my 18th birthday! 170 here I come!

"The opposite of action is not inaction: it is presence." A Yoga Mantra

So, today I'm spending some time really hashing out my workout routine for the next two months. I'd like to quickly clear up an error, November 7, is not a Monday. Therefore, I will be starting on November 9, which is. Thank you for your time.
Anyway, for the next two months I'll be doing a "20 pounds blast off!" routine. I know, I know. I always declare I'm going to start another routine, then something is thrown in the way, then I announce I'm starting a DIFFERENT routine, and etc. etc. so on and so forth.
Not today, Readers. No, this time I'm doing it. I've got only a few more months before my 18th birthday and if I'm gonna be legal, I wanna look illegal! I will be 66.6 pounds smaller. I will be sexier than ever before. I can do it, I will do it, and I will love it. I will work through every obstacle, I will ignore my want for 5 more minutes sleep, I will prepare healthy meals, I WILL NO LONGER DEPRIVE MYSELF OF THE LIFE AND BODY I DESERVE!!
If I am not 170 pounds by my 18th birthday, I will DELETE THIS BLOG. No sense having a blog about weight loss if you're not losing weight.
No more excuses. No more denial. No fatness.


Stay Fit,

Sarah

Mantra for today: To begin is the victory

If you can't sing, hum!

Bad news, y'all. I've got an injury...and the only cure..is more cowbell.
Ha, ha, ha! I wish! It appears (according to mister WebMD) that the symptoms are from a previous injury I sustained while playing Volleyball a few years back.
Patella Formalla or, "My-knee-cap-wants-to-get-off-its-rocker". It usually involves the loosening of muscles and ligaments.
I can still jog, run, dance, and do squats I just have a little bit of an uncomfortable feeling while doing it.
But, since I have to strenthen it up by means of special exercises distributed by my physician, it makes it hard to get in my cardio. Which was what my jogging and running was for.
I know what you're thinking, you're probably thinking that I'm gonna be on bed rest for like, 6 weeks again. Nope! I'll be doing yoga, pilates, and an ab workout series while I wait for my knee to recooperate.
*applause* Thank you, thank you! but, that's not all! *ooo!* How will I make up for lost cardio? swimming. Yes, Michael Phelps'n it up in my backyard. *hooray!* It seems like an obvious answer but, I racked my brain trying to figure out something for cardio while being nice to my knees. And that's why I think I deserve the next Nobel Peace Prize.
So, if I can't sing I'll hum. If I can't eat, I'll drink. And if I can't run, you bet your tube socks I'm gonna swim.
Thank you, and goodnight.

Sarah
