Day 79

I went to kickboxing today and I worked really hard. After the class I went into one of the exercise studios and did more triceps exercises on my own. I took my time stretching and I got a full workout. It was great. I have to say that exercise is the key to happiness and eating right. It’s mostly a drag to get motivated to go but I find that if I don’t sit and contemplate about it too much, I usually follow through and go. I stayed within my points with two to spare. I’ve been online looking a dresses a lot lately. I have so many dresses that I can’t wait to buy. I was so close to buying this one dress but I decided not to because by the time I could fit it, I would probably be over it. I have settled on a goal weight. I want to be 129 pounds. This is lower than I initially wanted but it’s right in the middle of where I should be according to my height. It would also mean that I lost 100 pounds. Right now I weigh exactly 190 pounds. So I have 61 pounds to go. The countdown begins. I want to average 1.7 pounds a week. So that means I will be at goal on December 2, 2011. Yes, this can be done!

Tomorrow I will wake up early and go for a light jog before Ellison goes to work. This will be a very light 20-minute jog. I really want to do something active for myself before I start my day. I will also be patient with Adjei and myself as I transition to my new schedule. Then I will end the night with body conditioning. Wow, tomorrow sounds great!
