My Journey Toward 1-3-5


Since we got back from our honeymoon and wedding, my healthy living plan has been going down the drain!  I haven’t been eating healthy at all (hello....Chicken on the Way?) and it didn’t help that Hallowe’en was squeezed in there and I ate massive amounts of chocolate, since we had only a few trick-or-treaters!

Although I have been doing some strength videos and running, if I don’t monitor my food, it’s game over!  I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with food!  I love it so much that sometimes I can’t stop myself from having that second plate, or the extra bite...even though I’m already full.

Anyways, all excuses aside, my goal is to reach a weight of 135lbs by February 2014!  What does this mean?  I need to do all I can to lose 6.6lbs in about 12.5 weeks!

Current weight: 141.6lbs on November 6, 2013
Goal Weight: 135lbs by February 2014

It may not sound like a lot, but these last 6.6lbs are the most difficult to shed because I’ve already had a lot of weight loss in the past year.  I was religiously doing Jillian Michaels DVDs 5 days a week (Body Revolution...It works!!), running or walking at least 3 times a week, and closely monitoring my food on My Fitness Pal.  I’m allowed to have a net of 1380 calories per day.  When I started, I was 160.9lbs at the beginning of last year.  I lost 19.3 lbs in one year!  It’s definitely something I worked hard on and am proud of, but it would be AMAZING to reach this one last step!  I know I can do it :)

What’s the Plan?
I will be doing Kettleworx/Jillian Michaels 4 times a week for strength training.
I will be running at least two times a week.
I will follow my Fitness pal at a daily net intake of 1380 calories in order to lose 0.5lbs per week.

Healthy changes starts NOW!  Let’s get it started :)
