In a nutshell +20

In a nutshell, I got off to a good start. I started second shift this week. On Monday, we had off because it was Martin Luther King day. So that morning at 600 am i worked out on the elliptical for 30 min. The eating was ok but I had decided bc I would have to figure out how my eating habits would change with being on second. Then on Tuesday I went to powercut class at 6-7am. Came home got all my stuff ready, went to work from 2-10pm. Everything including my food was good. But that night, I could get to sleep when I came home. I stayed up until 4am, then slept til 1230, took a shower and went to work. And that pretty much was my schedule for the rest of the week. I couldn't get to sleep early enough to get up early enough to work out. I threw whatever I could together when I left for my 2 breaks to eat. My eating was ok though. So literally this whole week I haven't been on the internet or done anything else. Just sleep, eat, work.

My new plan before this sleeping thing becomes a habit (if it hasn't already), I will try to got to bed by 1130pm. That will give me 6hrs before I have to get up to workout at 6am. Every morning during the week. Be home by 730am and get ready for work. I will eat before I get to work. Then I'll eat at 430 and 730, my 2 breaks. And start the cycle all over again. I did start my LT this week. This weekend I will put everything in position to make this successful. Ok on to finish my 20.

20 Things( which is alot, btw): Reasons to Lose Weight

1. Once in my life be normal size.

2. Buy clothes off the rack and know they fit.

3. So I can take decent pictures.

4. Don't have to work so hard to put on my shoes.

5. Stay healthy, bc while I don't have any health problems now. They will come if I don't do something.

6. I know they say being thin doesn't solve the inner stuff but I think in my case it will. I will be more confident.

7. I want to feel good about myself.

8. I will look better.

9. People will look at me bc I am "hot" not bc I am big.

10. I think, when I lose weight, everthing in my personal life will fall into place.

11. Less stress bc one of the biggest stressors is gone.

DANG, this is hard. I am running out things.

12. I think I will be more adventurous. There have been so many times, where I have said, " if I was skinny, I would totally (fill in the blank)."

13. I would save money on the grocery bill.

14. I want to be a success story.

15. I don't want to do the gastric bypass surgery.

16. To prove to myself that I can do this. That my will power is strong enough.

Ok, now I am really thinking hard....you should do this too

17. So far all my exscuses have been superficial, but maybe if I am successful. I can help my sisters achieve this with before they hit my age.

18. If I look for a new job, evidence has suggested that overweight people are more likely not to get jobs, raises etc. They are discriminated against and stereotyped. It's one of the last accepted forms of discrimination.

19. Being fat is holding me back psychologically, emotionally, and physically. I don't know or fully recognize to what extent (glad for that).

20. I am just tired of being fat and everything that it entails.

Ok there it is. Now lets see if this gives me a kick in the butt!
