I AM SO EXCITED!!! I meet with my doctor today, who by the way IS TOTALLY AWESOME! His name is Shaun Shurtlef and he practices family medicine in Vernal at Ashley Regional Medical Center. He is a total riot to talk to AND he is really good at helping people lose weight and KEEP IT OFF!
So I went in today and got my physical. UGH...he is talking about a colonoscopy, which totally makes me feel old if I am talking about doing things like that. OH WELL! If it means in the end (haha-get your mind out of the gutter), I get to live a much more product life because I am able to keep on doing those things I love to do...THEN BRING ON THE BACKLESS GOWN!!! :)
It has been VERY stressful over the last few days because it is our deadline week. BUT WE GOT IT PUT TO BED TODAY!!! WAHOO!!! That is such a wonderful feeling when you push that send button for the final time and you watch as cyber space whisks your files over to be turned in the magazine! AND EVEN WITH THE STRESS OF THAT...I did pretty good with my eating. OK, except for maybe last night when a freind of mine brought over these decadent chocolate brownies. Hey, I only had four of them. Ok, maybe those four were the equivilent of a half of a pan of brownies. Ok and so maybe it was the 13x9 pan and not the little 8x8 pan. OK, OK...I broke down and indulged...BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! I LOVE BROWNIES.
And Dr. Shurtlef even said today that it is ok to have those sweet treats...as long as I am willing to put in the extra work to burn off those extra sugar calories. OH MAN...THAT MEANS LIKE 3 MONTHS ON MY TREADMILL TO BURN OFF THOSE BROWNIES I JUST ATE. :) It will be worth it in the end though when I hit my target goal of 150 lbs.
Dr. Shurtlef and I talked about it today and we both agree 150 lbs is a great place for me to be! BUT...
HERE COMES THE SCARY PART...
READY TO HEAR IT...
HOW MUCH WEIGHT I HAVE TO LOSE THAT IS....
I AM TOTALLY PROCRASTINATING TELLING YOU, CAN'T YOU TELL...
100 lbs!!!!
Yes, you heard me right, I am going to lose 100 lbs. over the next year while we are doing our weight lose contest. It is not going to be easy and I know this, but I know that I can do it! And i want to do it! I don't want to give up things like riding my horse because I am afraid I will hurt her. I want to feel better, I don't want my body to hurt all the time because my weight stresses out my joints, and yes...I want to have crazy wild sex with my husband without parts moving that really shouldn't be moving! (Dude, it totally ruins the moment!)
Well, the next step is the nutrionist who is going to help me with setting up the right kind of menu so that I am eating the right foods at the right time. (Notice I did not say diet?) I am wanting to change my life and I will and you will get to see it all because this is REAL LIFE!!!

Okay, Michelle, I think that 150 lbs. might be a good end weight (did you know I weighed that much before Dylan?), but that's hard to do in only a year. I think a loss of an average of 5 lbs/month is reasonable and maintainable. Think about it, girlfriend. Baby steps.
100 lbs is a good goal, but if it takes longer than a year, so be it. I know I've got more than 100 to lose though. I'll blog about BMI's and how much bull I think they are on my next post.
