Desperately ready to stop yo-yoing with my weight, and choosing being a complete lazy ass tv watcher on the couch before working out, practicing my guitar, riding my bike or even reading a book. As a 26 year old woman with a 7:30-4 work schedule and free weekends, there is no excuse for me not to go to the gym every day.. other than complete sloth. For the last five years, I have treated my body like crap.. and some deep therapy sessions might unearth why.. but the why doesn't matter so much any more. I just want to look at myself and not think chin, cottage cheese, arms, belly, ass, I didn't use to have that. I blame you desk job, for stealing my energy.. but now I just have to work harder to overcome that.
There have been some ups in the last few years.. namely 2008 when I started eating pescatarian and had 99% of dairy even out of my diet. I want to go back there and beyond.
1. Spread the word.
This is my attempt to spread the word. Hear ye, hear ye.. I am existentially in a deep pit of need.. a need to somehow make my life into something I want to be a part of. Get weight down to 140, healthy eating and regular gym visits as a habit, pick up my guitar once a day, apply to 5 graduate schools, minimize drinking, move the fuck on, grow the fuck up.
2. Purge your home of unhealthy tempting food.
3. Set your goals. Figure out what motivates you.
4. Create a no-excuse environment.
5. Make gym buddies.
6. Lie to yourself.
7. Find the most unflattering photo of you taken from the worst possible angle, and hang it somewhere in clear sight.
8. Block out time for the gym. Then institute a no-cancellation policy.
9. Snack like an adult. Stop reaching for junk food that you ate as a kid.
10. Think ahead and finish strong.
