Time to keep moving ahead

Last night my brother and I decided to join the new local gym that they put up in the town 10 minutes from us. They are actually putting in a small business complex, complete with a WAL-MART! Do you know how excited I was when I found out that I wouldn't have to drive 30+ minutes just to get to ANY store similiar to a Wal-Mart? BEYOND EXCITED. I have always had to drive what seem forever to get anywhere... just to get something I need, now I only have to drive ten minutes to get to Wal-Mart... YIPPEE!

So, in the small complex they are putting a few new stores, including a AutoZone (already open), Sleepys, some chinese restaurant, two banks (that we really didn't need) a few other stores, and a new Snap-Fitness.

You have read a little about my "weight-loss" journey.. which has dwindled a little in the last month or so. I'd like to blame it on that fact we have been working alot on the house... although I shouldn't have any excuses really. I have lost 50 pounds thus far, give or take a few depending on the day, BUT I still have 50 MORE TO LOSE... yikes.

Some days I try and think about how far I've come.. rather then how far I still have to go. Like my father always says, "Don't look at the big picture, you'll get overwhelmed" Meaning, I need to take it step by step. 10 pounds at a time is what I need to do. Well, I'm ready to get back into the swing of things.. full force, now that I had a little play time.

This gym is 24 hours, exactly what I need. Honestly, the whole schedule thing is what gets me. With my work schedule, I can't make morning work out sessions, or evenings, I'm basically screwed in that aspect, plus the closest YMCA is like 30 minutes. This is why when they put this new gym in, I knew I would join. I should get my access card early next week, then it's on like Donkey Kong and hello cute summer bikini (maybe).

To reach my first goal weight (where I would feel good at) I need to lose 40 pounds, to be at my ultimate goal weight (where I would look smokin' hot) I need to lose 50 pounds. The weight I was at when I graduated high-school. I'll get there, I know I will, I just need to be patient with myself and my body. It's going to take me twice as long, and twice as hard (screw you PCOS) But, I will get there. My goal is to be there by the end of the summer. I think that is TOTALLY doable. That's about 10 pounds a month, if I want to be there by the end of July, if I work really hard, it could be even sooner then that. Shit, if I lose 15 pounds a month (roughly 3-4 pounds a week) I could be there by Mid-June. I know, sounds totally unhealthy, but hey the people on Biggest Loser lose like 10-15 pounds a week!!

Let's hope I can stick to... I need to stick to it.

This weekend is going to be filled with shopping for the house, and working on the yard =)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
