So.
I want to lose 100 pounds.
Eventually. Gradually. Healthy like.
Sigh.
So I decided to do something that I think is interesting. I've heard that weight loss is best achieved in small measurable goals. At least for...most people?
Anyway, what I've decided to do is spend a day for every pound I want to lose NOT eating out. Just making home made meals. These meals...won't necessarily be healthy. But my thinking is that the more I cook in, the more healthy my eating habits will become.
I do not expect to lose 100 pounds in 100 days. That's just crazy talk!
Here's what will happen at the end of 100 days.
Let's pretend at the end of 100 days I've lost...15 pounds. That 5 pounds a month. Not too shabby. Anyway, that leaves 85 pounds to lose. At that time, the ticker will reset, with 85 days to go. Then I will go another 85 days without eating out, etc etc. My thinking on THIS is that if my miniature goals get EASIER (aka less time spent), I'll be more likely to keep going, thus making my ultimate goal more achievable!
I'm brilliant, I know.
We'll see what happens, eh?
Peace,
Mrs. H
Sounds like a neat idea! You know that I think you're beautiful, but I can relate to the idea of being healthy and not spending money (plus you can funnel the money saved towards burn projects!).
ReplyDeleteWe should be accountabili-buddies! Hold each other accountable for eating healthy and exercising and keeping spending down. Might make it all easier.
I have a blog too (http://adventurouseappetite.wordpress.com/) if you ever want to check it out =D
I totally looked at your blog before :D S'cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I agree, we should be accountabili-buddies. I'm super proud of myself, because we went on a trip to Gville this weekend, and so far, no eating out!!! 97 days to go!
I think my next step is to actually start working out...
