New “year”, a new focus, new goals.

I know that I must learn to be organized and have a balance in my life, but I never end up taking the steps to really do it!  I always put my health behind and succumb to the worldly pleasures, particularly junk food and laziness.

I have a trip planned for next year. I will fly to Canada to meet my niece in person, visit my sister and my brother-in-law. This would be the first time I travel to Canada and want to be able enjoy the experience without feeling uncomfortable about my weight, because it limits me to many things. And finally, of course, look good in the photos! (I’m a shutter bug and a bit narcissistic too!)

On my birthday I was on 218.0 pounds, I bit lighter than last year. So I think I’m on good track.

On July 1, 2009 I want to be 173.4 pounds and 33% fat as my  nutritionist aims to. This was my lightest weight that I have reached in my adult life, it was on January 2006.

Right now I’m in a 1200 calorie nutritional plan and exercise 4 times per week consisting of 1 hour of cardio and 2 days out of those 4 I have to do 3 sets of 50 reps of abdominal exercises to start defining my waist. This guidelines were assigned to me yesterday and I plan to start it this Monday December 7, 2009.

On January 2, I want to weigh 210.4 at least. That would represent that I lost 40 pounds on year 2009.

This is a difficult month at my job, the streets are crazy, the summer arrived. So many factors to confront, but that’s life right? =)

Hugs, Jeannette
