Today I reset my goal weight chart. I spent several weeks thinking about this. I am 12lbs behind in my schedule and I don’t feel I can make that up, based on how things have gone. So, instead of beating myself up, I adjusted my timeframe. I started this at 180lbs, in the latter part of March. Today I weigh 166lbs. I am happy and proud of this. For now, it is enough. I have said before, I didn’t get this big overnight, I’m not going to lose it in a few short weeks. (I still have the old chart posted at the bottom of May 21,2009)
I am not on some crazed mission to be thin & beautiful. I’ve always been beautiful to me, what I want is to be healthy as I age. And that cannot be done carrying 35 extra pounds around. The initial schedule was good, healthy, moderate timeframe. It just didn’t happen. Since I have kept dieting & exercising, this is not a failure, merely an adjustment. It’s going to take a little longer to get there. But I know I’ll get there. ; )
I am excited again. Next Monday, on 07/20/2009, I need to be at 163lbs. I have the bike/run/bike/run/bike/run tonight. Tomorrow I rest. Friday I have a 25 mile ride that includes a 3.5 mile race simulation, followed by a 3 mile run. 27 mile beginner ride Saturday & a 30 mile intermediate ride Sunday. That is 5200 calories burned. If I watch my food intake, I could be at 163lbs on Monday!
I wanted to post my schedule so I can track the craziness. My new goal date is September 21, 2009. That is 5 days before the Conquer The Coast ride in Corpus Christi. I wanted to be smaller so I could surf the waves after the ride. I wanted to not be fat when we spin fire at the bonfire BBQ on the beach that night. I want my beautiful daughter Cass to come & surf with me that day. This is possible!! (but I gotta start weight training to make my arms stronger)
