The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising.
I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly.
I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of soda and I was wired for about 2 hours today at work. It was a weird sensation and I didn't care for it much. As for my walking, I walk every day. Sunday is my day off unless Kim and I go up the canyon for a "leisurely" walk to take pictures. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I walk 1.5 miles. I have a race with myself every time to see if I can cut time from my already half hour walk. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I walk the .6 mile to and from the bus stop for work. Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually work in the kitchen so all the physical work I do, the cooking and cleaning, I count towards my exercise. Saturdays I don't have to do that so I have to do standing push ups against the wall to put towards my exercise.
I'm getting to the point where I can say, "I love to exercise." Slowly, but surely. I want to be able to say that. It'd be totally unlike me, but change is good. I read in my horoscope today and it said that my traveling plans will be delayed if I don't add to my physical activities. A lot of the details in my Hawaii plan are still up in the air - my horoscope mentioned that too, the up in the air part - so if I add to my physical activities, i.e. exercising, I'll be able to take this move sooner. Well, no sooner than May of 2010. That's when I'll finish my Pharmacy Tech program.
Anyway, I have another early morning. Choir starts at 8:15am and church is at 9am. I'm going to try and drag myself out of bed for choir. If not, I don't think it'll matter.
Buenos nachos.
