Well, now that you’ve been sufficiently entertained by The Weirz greeting you here on the front page for the past several days (haha), a new post awaits you! I have lost 4 pounds! Yes! :)

I’ve resolved to lose this weight, to lose all my fat. I just have to. I can’t screw around with this or postpone it any longer. It just HAS to be. Just as I felt with my smoking, back 8 years ago. I had decided one day I just can’t smoke anymore and that I hate everything about it, and I quit. Just like that. I know I have it in me to do the same with the weight.

For one thing, I’m short (5′1) and have a petite frame. I can’t carry all this. It hurts my knees, and my ankles. I have problems with my Achilles tendon and I know losing the weight will help alleviate that as well.

Also I have a high school reunion coming up in October. I want to look great!

I also need to take better care of my health because let’s face it.. I’m not in my 20s anymore. I may feel like I am, but my body tells a slightly different version of that tale. ;p

I also want to fit into my cute clothes again! And, damn it, I want to look good naked! ;)

And I want to feel better, move around better, not feel like I’m carrying around a ball and chain.

Tons of reasons. It just has to come off.

I’ve lost 4 pounds so far, since this resolve. :)

I am “The Incredible Shrinking Woman”. ;-D

And I’m not being anal about it at all. Basically all I’m doing is ending the bad habits I had. Like having a carton of ice cream in one sitting, several days a week. Too many fries and burgers and fried foods. No exercise. Not enough fruits and veggies. Too much sugar in my coffee and tea. Stuff like that. I’m still enjoying myself but in moderation. Rich foods are now a treat and not the norm. I still allow myself some fun, but just being sensible about it. I’m also trying to shrink my stomach, so I’ve been eating less- translates into eating NORMAL. Because I always over-ate.

I’m also taking a multi-vitamin. Something else I had neglected before. The one I am taking has green tea extract in it, and I think it’s really helping!

And I am eating a banana a day. They (whoever “they” are) say it’s the “miracle” food. Well, we’ll see. I do feel better. :) Also have been eating alot more salads and fruit and raw veggies. I prefer my veggies raw.

And I’ve started exercising! Since I had injured my Achilles tendon 2 months ago (while walking to get those “Spring Breakdown” passes), I’ve been rather inactive. So I’ve had to start out easy in my exercising. Not doing much in the way of long walks just yet but I’m doing aerobics on a trampoline! Low impact, and alot of fun!

So there you have it. 4 pounds lighter so far, and I’m quite happy. :)

Anyone want to join me? We’ll work together!

ETA: I need to lose about 50-60 pounds. Depends. I’ll see how I look and feel once I hit 130. That will probably be my end goal, which means I have 50 pounds to lose. I remember being 130lbs and looking quite good! I may decide to aim for 120 but we’ll see. OH and nooo I don’t expect to reach that by High School Reunion time in October, but any amount lost will help me look and feel so much better.
