About Me

Holy crud, people. The girl in my profile is a supermodel, not me. Please google Victoria's Secret right now.

***

I have a very strong belief that it is YOUR responsibility to take care of your body, and to research what you put into it. It is 100% my fault that I gained the weight I did, and it is 100% me that will try to never do that again.

***

Though I joined at the beginning of January, I officially started on January 26th, 2009. Funny how those serious weight loss dates get burned in your memory - I've dieted before, and those are fleeting memories. This one's here to stay :)
I'm determined to deal with stress the best way - to be healthy. I need to exercise, and I need to eat well. If I'm to succeed, I want to do so academically, socially, professionally, and physically.

July: I lowered my weight loss goals, as in, I'm targeting 130 instead of 125. If I get to 130 and still need to improve, a. it'll be all toning, really, and b. the scale isn't important at that point.

I hope to find weight loss buddies and inspiration here, so please, if you're looking for a weight loss partner, message me!

8.22.09 - got lazy. got sloppy. so here are some benchmarks i'm looking forward to'have accomplished.

Have Done:

144 - BMI out of the 22s! (8.22.09)

Looking Towards:

139 - good-bye 140s!
137 - BMI out of the 21s... 20.8!
134 - healthiest weight on doctor's records
130 - goal reached!

Once that is done, will push for 125. We shall see...




Why I Want To Get In Shape

All other sorts of reasons. I'm sick of my asthma kicking in when all I do is SING. I'm sick of feeling dizzy and dehydrated because I don't drink properly. Eight glasses a day is hard when I can go a day before I notice how thirsty I am. I need to stop snacking. I need to get moving. I want to look good, feel good, and stay that way.

I became ill in the beginning of october and am still trying to recover a month later. I have not been to the gym at all. My eating habits are random at best. I'm... not at a happy point in my life right now, to be honest. But I shall try to eat better/more often. That's a start. Nov. 5, 2009: I am going to get the food under control. The rest will happen when it does.

Am hoping by new year to be 135 a the heaviest, 130 would be lovely. But all I want right now is to be healthy and happy, and that shall come first.

My Inspirations

  • asthma is no fun, and nor is cellulite
  • friends are in shape, modelmayhem.com
  • being overweight is expensive, taxing and depressing
  • being pretty is fun, and being hot is sexy
