Goals for July?

Post #9: Goals for the next 30 days.

Hey guys.. I should technically be doing my 11th post today.. but I am sooo behind. I've been busy shopping, attending meetings, planning things out and implementing them. I've also been a little artsy doing some creative things for the engagement. We have the photoshoot coming up in a week. It was supposed to be on Tuesday but it will be raining for a week in Toronto. So, we have to postpone it to July. That sucks because I was hoping to get over with it so I can move on to other stuff. We have to push it even further and do it after Nish's birthday in July.

Back to the post..

My goals are focused on health right now. I have now dropped 18 pounds. *Applause*

It's so hard to tell when you look at me because no one saw me at my highest weight. I barely left the house. I know I haven't listed numbers anywhere but let's just say I was almost 200 lbs! That was my peak weight. I weighed around 196 lbs. People often wonder why I am not ashamed to reveal my weight when other people make such a big deal about it. I once had people come over to my house who were absolutely petrified of even stepping on the scale. It's just a number. Don't let it scare you. Let it motivate you to figure out how far you're gonna go with yourself. 

I weighed in at 178 lbs this morning and I am thrilled. Only about 38 lbs to go to be 140 lbs! Wowza!

And 23 lbs to go to meet my level from last year which was 155 lbs. I think that was a good weight for me. So, for now.. I am sticking at losing 25 more lbs. And I've got the entire year to do it before the wedding. Probably even more than a year. Oh and I lost a total of 2.5 inches from my waist.. thanks Insanity.

My goals for the next 30 days!

Okay.. I ate ice cream yesterday, and a burger and macaroni salad. BAD! I am not on a no-carb diet. I eat carbs everyday but I still manage to lose weight. I am not losing as much as I SHOULD (ideally) because I just can't be drastic again. I don't wanna sink myself into that deprived mode where I feel the need to binge. I haven't had roti in 4 months now. And now it has kinda become a habit to eat the right things and also manage to cheat once a week! Yesterday was my cheat day. Today, I've had my protein shake and cantaloupe so far. 

30 days from now would be 22nd July. Let's see what I can do here.

I'd like to lose at least 5 more lbs in these 30 days. I do have one more week after 22nd July to continue on with the diet. I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks. I exercised at home 2 times in the last 2 weeks. BAD! I know. I am writing all this so I can remind myself that I need to get back on track. I got a little sluggish because I got busy with a ton of other stuff. 

So.. okay.. the goals are simplified. Four weeks = 5 pounds. It's doable. I am gonna try giving up carbs and see how much it helps. Another goal is to decrease my acne. Let me tell you.. the new treatment I got from my doctor is a miracle worker. It's expensive but it works. It dries out my skin too but now I moisturize it twice a day to keep it hydrated. My acne has already improved by 60% since last month. Another month of this medication and I will only have about 30% left. Thank God!

Sorry for this post. I know I just rambled. Gaah!
