Since I posted my last rant about weight loss, I'm down 6pounds. (Most days) not exactly the numbers that i was hoping for, but then again, I'm not exactly putting in a herculean effort into it. Its all been about getting into a good routine at the gym. And I think I've done that. I got 3 or 4 times a week, working out a different zone each time. (Upper, core, lower) I even went and had the "free one time" personal training session that the gym offered when i signed up. Yes, I know that they only offer a free one to get you to buy a package, but I explained to her right away that i was NOT going to do that, and she was awesome. She helped me figure out where I was, where I needed to be, and gave me a rough plan on how to get there and how long it will take to get there. Never tried to pressure me into buying something.
And yes, 99% of loosing weight is diet. I know that. Did it stop me from eating 1/2 a carton if Phish Food? Nope. But it did stop me from eating the WHOLE carton, and I think that's a kind of progress, don't you?
So I'm putting together a little list of what I'm going to get for myself at every 10 pounds I loose that i keep off for a week. These are things that im interested in, that i want, but wouldn't normally get, either because of budget or because I talk myself out of it as frivilous. I love the word frivilous, don't you? Its like "not only is it silly, its so far beyond silly, that it has its own name". But I digress. These are things that i just wouldn't normally get myself.
Oh, and I'm kinda telling you exactly where I'm at now, which I thought long and hard about whether I was going to share with you or no. But f Im going to do this publicly, I might as well go whole hog. Pun very much intended. Here goes.
Once I'm under:
220 - bare minerals make up
210 - lace weight yarn to make a shawl/scarf
200 - tattoo
190 - $50 gift card to amazon.com
180 - buy something, anything, from the Museum Replicas catalog
170 - membership to the zoo
160 - bamboo dpn's in every size
150 - $100 shopping spree at Hobby Lobby
So who's with me?
