The Bandwagon

So the other day I was at work and our new LP used to work at a 24 hr fitness. She was nice enough to give me a good tip that I am going to try. 

It is not about losing weight, it is about getting healthy and staying healthy.

So that is what I am going to do, get healthy.  Cut out the fast food, greasy food and the cokes is the first thing on my to do list.

If anyone else has any tips on getting healthy leave comments, I love comments.


Another thing towards getting healthy is getting active.  I am going to be going to the gym to walk, to begin with, 3-5 times a week.  This is an important step, all the healthy eating will do me no good if I do not get some more activity in my life.  After a while, I will add other activities such as weights and maybe take a few classes they offer.

I hope all you readers have a good rest of your weekend.

Something to help

So this past week, I have decided to start saving my money to purchase my first car of my own, I have had the standard passed down used cars and now I would like to have one of my own.  Something that I know that I took care of to get, I worked hard to pay for and everything. 

Then I realized this will go really well with my Cruise Slim down, since I want to cut out the junk food, the cokes and the fast food as much as possible.  And since my goal is buy a car and not have the money to buy those things is a good thing. 

Today after work, I was really hungry but as I was passing all those fast food places such as Taco Bell, Wendy and McDonalds the only thing I was thinking was that any money I went in there to spend would be longer til I could make a good down payment on my car.  So, I skipped the meal came on home and read a few chapters of my book, though I may be hungry, I was not hungry enough to spend $5 or more that could go to my car.

So thank you goal of wanting to buy my own car from keeping me from getting that greasy burrito or french fries that a small part of me really wanted.  Also, thank you car from keeping me from going through McDonalds and buying a $1 coke to wake me up a little.  To take care of the need to drink at work and to keep me from getting a coke in a bottle I am going to have to bring out the "bubba keg" that my family is so fond of drinking out of.  This will be good for keeping water cool to drink anytime I would like some.

Today was the END

Well tomorrow my brother has his jaw broken and put back together so starts our big diet.  Since he will not beable to eat some (all) of the things we eat, we are going to be going on our huge diet. 

But he got to choose his last meal for the next 2 to 6 weeks and he chose to eat at Red Lobster.

Now this was good, I got to have shrimp which was really good.  I ate too much but it was a good ending to some of my favorite thing I have to give up to lose all this weight before the cruise.

Now this was not just any shrimp meal, no this was the Endless Shrimp.

I ended up eating
2 Parmesan Shrimp
1 Shrimp Scampi
1 Shrimp Alfredo with Pasta

My baked Potato and Salad that come with the meal and like 5 of the cheesy biscuits that they serve.

The Plan

Yep, it is going to be a long 9 months and I am hoping some of you readers who are out there somewhere are going to be with me most if not all of the way there.

The goal to lose 10 lbs a month.  I will have to give up alot to get this, cokes and other soft drinks.  I will have to drink more water.  This will be a good thing, I have come to the conclusion that I do not drink enough water to begin with.  So drinking the water will be good for me. 

Going to the gym 3-5 times a week.  If I could go everyday I would, but that would most likely not be very healthy so I will have to settle for 3-5.

Eating Healthy, give up the fast food, fried food, and greasy food.  Chicken, Fish and salads and some other veggies will be what I get to eat.  Another thing that will be hard, I love my fast food.

And last but not least the sweets, though they are good, they go straight to my, in simple terms, ass. So I really do not need to eat them.
