Time to Start

Today is a new day. I weighed in this morning at 193.4. I am ready to do this! Due to DH wanting to complete a triathlon, we went to a couple of gyms this weekend. Gold's Gym focused on my weight and quite frankly assumed I knew nothing about weight loss or nutrition. They tried to shock me with my numbers and to get me to sign up for 6 weeks of personal training for $630. Now, I know my numbers. I know they are unhealthy, but there was no shock for me. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it. This motivated me, not they way that they thought it would. It motivated me as I am tired of people looking at me and knowing how to categorize me. It pisses me off. So I am going to change that. The one good thing that I did like is that they focused on the body fat % rather than BMI healthy weight range (though they did show the BMI).
This isn't only about my weight. I am working on my house, I need to get it organized in a very serious way. I need to study for certification. And I need to work on my health. So here is the plan:

• I restarted WW today - meaning I am going to really work on actually following program. I upped my points to what they say I need to maintain my current weight. I will then focus on trying to eat that amount. If I am successful, I will reduce next week by 1 point per day. I will do this until I get back to what is recommended. 
• I have a 5k this weekend so I am not starting my Jillian Michael's Body Revolution until after the 5k. While doing the BR I am also going to be doing my walk/jogging 3 times a week.
• I have a list of what I need to do for the house. My focus is my DD's 8th b-day party - she wants a sleep over.
• I am going to make time for my studying as a priority.
• I am looking at other classes at the gym to give some variety and social interaction with workouts.
• I am focusing on losing 53.4 pounds rather than the 73.4 that I thought I needed to lose - this feels like I am already closer to my goal :-)

OK that is it for now. I am feeling very good :-)
