Personal challenge!

I need to do something..
I need to get back on track.. And I need to make some changes.

My gym membership goes out in 6 weeks.. I have barely used this very very expensive membership cause I was just too ashamed to go there.. If I manage to get my self to get there 3 times a week during the next 6 weeks I am going to reward my self with something great.

Things I am considering as a reward:
- New membership at a less expensive gym
- A laser hair-removal treatment
- New sunglasses

I have also been thinking that I should try to make time for the whole family to eat together. My son is getting older and I would like for him to experience how it is to have family dinners. The last few months, we have eating in shifts.. My son eats - then I eat while my hubby is putting him to bed, and then my husband eats. Even my husband and I rarely eat at the same time anymore - and 99,9% of our meals is in front of the TV and it really isn't something I want to teach my son. Anyhow.. My idea is for us to try to eat dinner together, and I also want to start making dinners that all of us can eat, so I don't have to cook different dinners, for us and for my son. Anyways, either this week, or next I am going to try to make it happen. I also am going to try to follow recipes and make some new meals. You know how it is to see a picture of the most perfect meal on tumblr - browsing some page or something like that??! Well I am a good cook, I want to try to make those meals.

And last and not least, I want to have date nights. I feel like my husband and I kind of have lost our "lover" part of the relationship. We went out for dinner on valentines, and it was the first time ever since we became parents. So once a month, we are going to get a baby sitter and go out. Just the two of us.

So yeah... These are my personal challenges.. You got any??

The plan!

So I got on the scale today and it was horrid :) But I don't care.. It is the last time I will ever see that number again.. EVER..

This is what I am going to do - I will make a plan of what I am going to eat and when I am going to eat. I tend to skip meals and then binge. So now I am just going put it up in my calender in my cellphone.

Rules: 
Veg: Greener - Protein: Leaner - Carbs: Darker

I am aiming to keep the intake to 1200 calories - and there is this other thing I want to apply and that is calories burned do not mean that I can add calories to my eats.

The other part of the plan is training. My main focus will be cardio workouts, but I am going to use the tips from Nasimiyu and vary my workouts as much as possible. Other thing I want to introduce is yoga and pilates. I am thinking about having 1-2 "off" days in the week and used those on yoga and pilates. But my main goal will be keep moving as much as possible- one way or another.

Later today I will get out the tape and measure up everything- I wanted to do it this morning but we had to clean since we have yet another viewing of our flat (it hasn't sold yet so ya.. ) .. So that will be done tonight. I do not want to get on the scale every day.. I have this love hate relationship with it and it can really put me off.. You guys know what I mean.. So now I am going to only get on the scale every Monday morning. No more - no less.

I am really well aware of the fact that maybe I wont be able to achieve 90 lbs in 90 days.. BUT!! I know that even if I don't the result will still be worth it. For me I am at a point that every single pound counts. And I am going to do as Miranda says.. Keep my eyes on the goal and I know I will do my best. And if my best doesn't make that goal.. I will keep going until I do :)

90 lbs in 90 days!

So I was watching the "I used to be fat" episode with Marci - on MTV (slow Monday at work) - and that girl is just such a pain .. She is so lazy and annoying and OMFG .. She fucking lost 90 lbs in 90 days.. WTF!

If she can do it - so can I... So here is the challenge.. 90 days - 90 lbs. I am starting tomorrow- since tbh I have no idea how much I weigh now. I want to have the numbers clear..

So here it is:
Start date: 2011.10.11  - end date: 2012.01.11 AKA 90 days..
The challenge is to lose 90 lbs during those 90 days!

Remember. The reason why I think I can do this is cause I am massive. When I have lost 90 lbs I still have a long way to go before my very sane and healthy GW.

The plan ?? Counting and cardio..

I think I am ready girls.. I think I just am ready..
