Starting Weight: 262.8 lbs*
*This is the fattest I’ve ever been, ouch. I’ve passed my previous high score by 1.8 lbs, so it’s not so bad, but considering I was around 235 lbs 2.5 years ago, it sucks.

Goals: My goals need to be split up because I plan on losing a lot of weight. I think the usual is a 10% weight loss, which would put me at about 235 lbs again. This is a nice number so:
Goal 1: 235 lbs
Goal 2: 215 lbs
Goal 3: 200 lbs (optional)

I’ll post when I update my numbers, work out, or cheat. Don’t look for a work out today, I’m super busy and we went on walks 3 days in a row this weekend. I’ll also be posting random stuff about how I’m doing, what’s tempting me (first one below), advice, etc. You can look for all these topics in the tags list. Enjoy!

First temptation: Of course, the very first thing I plan to eat on my diet has to tempt me. I went to pour some corn pops for breakfast, and it just so happened the awesome star trek badge was near the top, so it came out, but it forced a ton of pops with it. I’m talking about 2-3 times the amount I wanted to eat (1 serving ~1 cup, w/ milk = 3pts). I stayed strong and put the extra back.

First day strategy: I’m working from home today because I have no class or meetings. This can lead to trouble because I have constant access to food. I started the day by pushing back my cereal time to after I dropped Louis off at daycare, hoping that will help me until lunch, or even have a later lunch. That would help me avoid afternoon snacks, and be amazing. We’ll see  how it goes, I only get 30 points.
