weekend thoughts

I stopped blogging/logging my food on Thursday and haven't made any attempt at eating remotely healthy since then.
So, didn't succeed at the whole not eating processed food goal. But, I attempted, I guess that counts for a little. No? nothin....well, back to find something that works.
I keep thinking about my friend John who has lost over 200 lbs. He's mentioned in his blog a couple times that one day he woke up and decided he was giving up sugar for a year, and he suceeded. Then made other changes and lost 200 lbs in about 2 years. He also said that in preparing to begin his weight loss journey, he committed to himself that he was not going to be one of those people who was always dieting but never losing weight. I think about that a lot, because that's where I am. Where I have always been. I know I've made a little progress this year. But, I need to do more. I've been half assing the plan, so how can I expect it to work. I've lost over 25 pounds in 5 months by putting in very little effort. Imagine if I worked the plan like I should have been, where would I be now?! But, I can't dwell on what would have happened. Once again, here I am, looking at what will be.
I want this, I need this. I. WILL.DO.THIS!!!!! No matter how long it takes, no matter how many restarts I need, I will get this weight off!

I have never been one that finished goals. I've made a lot of them, but rarely complete them. This will definitely be the biggest and most important one I complete!
In order to complete it, there will be many small steps along the way. I need to learn how to finish something. To make a goal and reach it. For June I have 10 easy to measure goals. I'll measure each one seperately, but hte big goal is to meet all of them.

For the month of June, I will:

1. not drink soda
2. not eat chocolate
3. not eat fast food
4. not eat chips, snack mix, etc.
5. not eat any baked goods except for whole grain bread
6. not eat ice cream
7. drink at least 4 bottles (32 oz)water daily
8.walk 30 minutes or more per day
9. track all my food and stay under 40 points daily
10. do 50 jumping jacks and 50 push ups daily


This is the plan, I'll journal how it goes.
