Today is the day! I woke up & weighed myself 213.8lbs. It was almost down a half a pound from the last time I weighed in....which was in Feb. Yeah that breaks my heart a bit. I let all these months pass me by. Sigh. The quote that says- a year from now you will wish you started today. Always so true.
But I won't let that get me down. I can't change the past. No time machine to go back and do it right. I can only learn from them and do better. TODAY IS THE DAY! I can do this :)
I am off to a rough start. I stayed up way too late and I feel like crap lol. I also usually go shopping wed/thurs but didn't because I was just feeling awful and couldn't get out of this funk. So I am going to go this evening. But I have like nothing to eat except ramen lol. So the biggest issue will be not be starved and just throw everything out the window because of it when I go shopping!
I have a great shopping list. & a plan! I think it will take some trial and error with the calories again until I find the right balance of meals but thats ok. I won't let that bother me. It will take some time to get back into the flow of things but that is ok.
I decided to break down my week into 8 days worth of meals (having 1 extra for those just in case times). After a little while I will definitely break this up more but right now I just want super simple.
So for Breakfast doing- 4 days oatmeal & 4 days smoothies.
For Lunch doing- 4 days salad & 4 days sandwiches.
For Dinner doing- 2 days I cook, 2 days of leftover from cooking, 2 salads & 2 super easy microwave stuff (still on plan!)
My biggest issue is planning an entire meal. I always eat less when I have a whole meal rather than just one thing but I usually just eat one thing. I found a site here:

& it gives sample menus so that will help me get some ideas I hope for balanced eating.
Goals-
My goal right now is to get to Onederland. Meaning out of the 200s. I want to get back down to 190 which is where I was when everything fell apart. I used sparkpeople to calculate my goal and losing 1.5lbs a week it said by Dec 1st I could hit 190! So that is my #1 goal right now :)
How will I do that? Well I am going to count calories again. Sparkpeople gives my daily goal of calories 1,200 - 1,550. I am going to ease myself back into fitness so only doing 2 days of strength a week (sunday & friday) & 10mins of cardio (mon, tues, thurs, sat).
I am thinking I will do 1 day walking, 2 days my fitness coach & 1 day Wii fit.
I will up my fitness as needed but I think I may finish this month off with this plan. Then september up it to 2 days 15 min & 2 days 20 min or 20 min/30 min depending.
