Of course, Day 1, the scale chooses to be wonky & break down (I'm going to buy a new one today). In its waning moments, however, it still managed to confirm my approximate starting weight. Below are my weight stats:
Highest weight: 160
Lowest weight: 126
Starting weight: 150
Goal weight: 125
Medical recommendations for my weight are 112-148
Height: 5'4 1/2" (yes, I'm counting the 1/2)
Age: 27
This is about much more than weight, though. My BMI is terrible (I think about 26). I've lost all my muscle tone, strength, and endurance. My belly looks like I am constantly smuggling cookies. My butt has become distinctly Kardashian (and not in a good way). So, while I have a goal weight, these are the numbers that matter. Honestly, at the end of this journey, my biggest goal is to enjoy a day at the beach. No worrying about my belly, booty, or tugging at my swimsuit. Just hanging out. That will be better than any scale number.
To that end, here are my goals for this week:
Water: 10 cups a day (2 when I first wake up!)
Food: Stay within my points (I'm using the old weight watchers plan - 21/22 per day).
Logging: Write EVERYTHING I put in my mouth (no place like the internet for honesty!)
Exercise: 5x this week (at least 45 minutes each)
Vitamins: every day (Thank God for adult gummies . . . they taste like candy)
So that's it. Every day, I will write everything I eat, drink, and burn off. Tonight's zumba, which is honestly some of the most fun you will ever have while getting healthy.
