So here I am...

Today I am weighing in at a rough 160 pounds. As far as I know this is my weight. At least that is how heavy I feel. A month ago I weighed in at 155 and 158 so I assume this is accurate. I need to buy a scale I suppose!? This is how much I weighed going to my prom senior year. I am only 5'7' so it's a bit heavy on my frame. I was quite happy at the anorexic 130 pounds I managed to make it down to without eating, however I feel 140-145 pounds is a great realistic compromise.

• My plan.. Well I don't have a plan yet. My gym membership was disposed of 4 months ago due to inactivity and no money to continue on with it. So I'm left with working out at home and or outside. I have decided that I need to commit to some type of weekly routine or else this will be a huge failure.

Food wise I do not want to restrict too much. Calorie counting drives most people crazy and watching what I eat will drive me insane as well. I will be practicing the art of eating and stopping when FULL. This is something my nutritionist called "INTUITIVE EATING" and there is even a book on the topic that is very helpful as well. Unfortunately, I stopped doing it a while ago and it was a lot easier to eat until nothing was left.
I will be incorporating the food plan my nutritionist laid out as well. Getting in the amount of protein, veggies, dairy and water she put on the plan. This will be a challenge as well as I am already dreading it!! But God willing I will be able to conquer this task and get myself back into shape!! Please pray for me. LoL

• My goal: 90 days of fitness. Of course, I will be saving the strenuous stuff to 4-5 days per week. The other two days will consist of stretching and light cardio. AM I IN WAY OVER MY HEAD?? I hope not because I really feel like God will always give me strength when I need it.
• Food Journals: That is where the blog comes in. I am now making the commitment to log in my Food for the day EVERY day for the next 90 days!!! AHHHHH How scary huh? No secrets will be allowed and this will be great accountability for me. WOO WOO
• Jesus and prayer. I need to start being aware of the negative thoughts that tell me I'm too fat to work out, to this-or that, never going to achieve anything or that I have to starve myself to be beautiful. These thoughts belong in HELL with the Father of lies Satan.

So now that I have gotten all of those jotted down and out there I will develop a game plan. Start with something easy I suppose.

TONIGHT I will do 30 minutes of crunches, pushups and squats. I should be able to get in 3 circuits of this combo within 30-35 minutes with a 1minute rest break between.

So my circuit should consist of this:

• 33 Crunches/Situps
• 10 push-ups
• 20 squats

Ahhh... So excited. Alright so there goes everything :)! Thank you to anyone following this. I could really use the encouragement. I will try to post weekly FULL body shots as well to keep up the momentum. This is going to make a great start to a new healthier me. :)
