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

I don't want to be anorexic

Recently I've getting a lot of crap for being so "Skinny". Well, I guess to my mothers standards I am skinny But still, it's no reason to accuse your daughter of being anorexic.

Oi!

Yesterday, I went and saw the Saint Louis Awesomes uh, I mean Cardinals battle it out against the San Francisco Giants. While I was at Baseball Heaven I decided to get one of those cute little STL helmets filled with ice cream. The middle-aged dude making the food (sorry, the rhyming was unintentional) asked me if I wanted chocolate or vanilla (like he even HAD to ask!) in my helmet.

After he made the fabulous concoction, he asked me "Are you losing weight?" since I've never in my life met this guy before today, I was shocked.

"Yeah, I've lost a little bit already." I told him. He gave me a thumbs up. "You've got a glow about you that my wife got when she lost weight." he said, giving me $15.00 change. "Keep up the good work, you look great!"

I was flabbergasted! nobody besides my immediate family members and the mirror had noticed I was looking much more svelt and sexy. Then it caused me to start wondering if anybody else had noticed I was thinner, surely the grocery store had noticed. I'm there at least 4 times a week. But, nobody except this vendor guy had said anything. I felt special. And I noticed my glow in the bathroom later on, I really did look fabulous!

Nothing gives you a good nights sleep like recieving a compliment from a complete stranger.

And the Cardinals winning 5-2.

No more fatness!

It's time to lose weight, and it's time to do it NOW! No more waiting around to lose it magically by time! I don't have forever and if I continue down this path, I'll have even less time.

My body can't afford it anymore. The stress put on it by being pounds and pounds over weight, eighty pounds to be exact. I'm not just fat, I'm OBESE!

I can't sue McDonald's, I'd be an idiot if I did that, I did this to myself. I was the one who chose the super fatty foods, drank the super sugary sodas, and ate the McFlurry of Huge Hips!

But, it's not just McDonald's, it's Burger King, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, etc.
There wasn't a fast food place I didn't eat at. Except Hardees or Carl Jr. for those of you not living in the Midwest.
I want to get out of this size 24 and into a size 14.

Here are my rules:

No Pills - I've tried them before, I never lost any real weight and gained it back after a day or two not using them.

No Insane Diets - I want to eat healthy and make that my diet.

No Less Than 30 Minutes A Day - I have to commit to at least 30 minutes of exercise a day otherwise, I'm just kidding myself.

No More Than 2 Glasses Of Soda A Day - If that much. I'm a full blown soda addict and if I give myself an inch, I'll take a mile. I've known for too long that soda is downright BAD FOR YOU.

Weigh In Once Every Day In The Morning - I've got to keep track of my weight so I don't gain back the 10 pounds lost. I can keep it in check and off my thighs.


So, If you're going to be reading this blog regularly, Thank You. If you're reading this blog and losing weight along side of me, Thank You and I hope I can be a help to you.
I want to give you regular readers and droppin' pounds readers a little information about myself involving weight.

I'm currently 246 lbs. and 5' 9". I am a hourglass and carry the majority of my weight in my hips/thighs and bust/arms. My goal weight is somewhere around 170 to 150 lbs.
Wish me luck!! :)
