My Wants

This was a snippet of my conversation with Chris tonight:

Me: I want to go to the gym 6 days a week, maybe twice a day.
Me: I want to eat veggies and chicken.
Me: I want brown rice
Me: I want a lot of water and flavored water.
Me: I want to weigh 120 pounds.
Me: I want this to happen in 6-8 months.
Me: Sound good?
Me: and I want lots of cute new clothes when I lose it all.

To all this, my husband (very supportingly) says: well if you do all that, it will be done in 3 months

He's being a little too supportive. I don't think it's not possible to lose roughly 35 pounds (healthily) in 3 months. Nice try though, dear. :)

haha. Another thing I've thought of since, is that when I'm hot because it's summer time, I want for my wedding rings to still fit easily even though I'm all swollen from the heat. Do you know what I mean?

If I can get to this goal, 120lbs will be the smallest I'll have been since ... well, I don't really know. Probably middle school. I think I was about 135 in HS. If I can lose 30- 35 pounds in 7 months (I'm giving myself 8) that will mean 5 pounds a month. Totally doable! Can't wait to get back to Utah and get back to the gym!!!!

Day 147

Oh dear. Bad news. Haha, I've not been able to make it to the gym like, 2 months. It's been really sad. I have eczema on my upper lip and from past experience, I know that when I get sweaty my lip/eczema gets worse. I'm not sure why my eczema acts up like this sometimes. Some times it's just a few days at a time other times its weeks. In this case, it's months. It hurts and is embarrassing and not fun. Anyway, also, my family doesn't cook the healthiest kinds of foods... hehe, but it is darn good food. Because of all this, I haven't done well on the weight loss. In fact, I've gained about back about 5 to 7 pounds. Gross, I know and I feel really disgusting. It probably doesn't help that I go to bed around 2 or 3 am every night. You do know that getting a good amount of sleep helps your body maintain and/or lose weight, right? I only have another week till we leave for home in UT and then I'll get to go back to the gym! I'm really excited about that. If any friends reading this are in Orem or Provo or American Fork I'd be happy to go to the gym with you! :) Yay.

Update: (12/14) It turns out I've only gained back about 3 pounds. Wow, that's a big difference. The scale I use is an analog scale (with the needle pointer, you know?) and today I stepped onto a digital scale and was pleasantly surprised to see a lower number than I'd expected. Sweet.
