Weighing In #1

So, I have really enjoyed reading Ashley's blogs about loosing weight and since I am trying to loose weight as well, I figured this would be the best way! =)

I have been going to the gym, every day so far, with Spring & Melissa since the guys left on Saturday of this past weekend. I didn't weigh myself before starting but I did weigh myself today and I weighed in at 152.6. My overall goal is to weigh 120lbs. as I did before I started gaining all the weight that I have the past few months (years). I believe that is a healthy weight and I felt much more in shape at that weight.

I have stopped eating fast food and I have quit buying junk food for the house. I have already fallen back on this category this week by buying a No Bake cheesecake, which is my absolute favorite. I have decided once it is gone that will be all though! :)

I am going to put below my goals & rewards for achieving those goals!

By April 1st I would like to be at 142.6 (lose 10 lbs.) This gives me a little less than a month to achieve this goal. This will be before Cameron returns from CAX and I would like to impress him by loosing some weight. Once this goal is reached I will buy a new outfit to wear when Cameron comes home!

By April 15th I would like to lose an additional 2.6 lbs. putting me at 140.0 lbs. - This will be before going home to visit my family and friends that I haven't seen since October. Once this goal is reached I am going to get a weeks worth of tanning in Kaneohe (money allowing since it is $70 for a month to tan...therefore the weekly price will very likely be high).

This leaves me with 20 lbs. to lose. I am giving myself until Cameron returns from Afghanistan to lose the rest of the 20 lbs. so it will be more spread out than the first 15 pounds. I am going to allow for a little weight gain while at home for the week because I will not have access to a gym and will probably be drinking a few beers with the friends! =) The last few days before Cameron leaves for Afghanistan I am going to allow to spend as much time as possible with him so I will just be working on eating healthy and going to the gym as time allows. After he leaves I am POSITIVE me and my girls will get back into our routine! =)

By May 31st I would like to see another 5 lbs. fall off. This will put me at 135.0 lbs. which is what I used to weigh before I gained a lot of weight. Once this amount of weight has magically fallen off of my body I am going to buy myself a new bathing suit for the summer months in Hawaii! :)

By June 30th I am going to loose another 5 lbs. putting me at 130.0 lbs. Once I have achieved this goal I will buy yet another new outfit to make myself feel great for loosing the weight! =)

By July 30th I will loose another 5 lbs. This will put me at 125.0 lbs. Once I achieve this goal I will know that I am only 5 lbs. away from my overall weight goal! I will not get myself anything for this achievement because I am going to save that money to use for my overall weight goal achievement!!!

By August 30th I will loose my last 5 lbs. and will be weighing in at 120.0 lbs. :) For this I will buy 2 new outfits, one for myself to wear out in public and one lingerie outfit for when Cameron comes home! :)

I intend to do all of this by working out on a regular basis and by eating much more healthy foods! :) I have never made a weight loss goal before so I am not too sure if I am asking to lose too much weight too fast? If anyone thinks so please let me know so that I can adjust my plans!! :) I would LOVE to get moral support so if anyone has any that would be great!!! :)
