29 Before 30: Goal no.2

29 Before 30: Goal no.2
lose weight quickly and safely

Image by ♥ Melly Kay ♥
I am doing a "29 Before 30" list which means I’ve picked 29 things I want to accomplish before I turn 30 next year.

I am the type of person who goes back and forth with healthy eating and eating complete crap. It’s terrible! I’m embarrassed to say me and my boyfriend have been living off of restaurant & fast food for a few months :( & I have been feeling like complete crap because of it. (low energy and headaches) BUT last night we went shopping and bought a lot of yummy, healthy food and we’re going to try and get back on track together. My boyfriend loves junk (esp. sweets and bacon lol) but thankfully if I cook healthy, he loves it so I just have to make sure we hold each other accountable.

Ideally I like to eat small means 6 times a day a la Jorge Cruise. (breakfast – snack – lunch – snack -dinner) When I I used to eat this way I felt SO good and had tons of energy and when I added exercise to that I lost weight quickly and safely. I do need to lose about 20 lbs. but right now I’m focusing on eating better and working my way up to exercising. I’m hoping to get a bike soon :D

Stay tuned for goal number three!

Before and After (Kinda)

Before and After (Kinda)
lose 15 pounds

They say a picture says a thousand words, and the differences between these two profiles are quite visible. Consider, however, that the photo on the left was taken a full month into my plan – when I had already lost 15 pounds (160 from 175)! Losing weight isn’t much fun, nor is gaining weight – but in the end, whichever way you have to go, the results should speak for themselves. I’ve lost about 25 pounds of fat in the past three months…

It’s not a "true" before and after photo. If you really care to look, this snapshot was taken two weeks into it (168 from 175). The worst ones came before I started, like at Seattle Mind Camp or Northern Voice. Ponzi thinks I’ve come down as far as I can go – weighing in at 147 yesterday. I believe, however, that I’ll get to between 140 and 145 before all is said and done.
