Wellness Plan

Well, I’ve decided to get back on this diet wagon I put on 3lbs (which I’ve now lost) missed all my goals and just feel a bit like a failure. Today I received an email from www.sparkpeople.com with all the details on how to create a wellness plan. That is what I am going to do here, to take a look at the article go to: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/wellness_articles.asp?id=269.

Goals:

Lose 6lbs by December 1st.
Start: 223 – Current: 221 – Goal: 217

Lose 14lbs by January 4th.
Start: 223 – Current: 221 – Goal: 209 (Into 14’s!)

Desires:

I want to be able to shop in Topshop without restriction.
- Currently, shopping in Topshop means I can buy accessories, shoes and anything stretchy in a size 16. I want to be able to go in and buy jeans, tops, dresses, anything I want because I know they’ll have it in my size. I can’t feasibly do that until I’m a size 14.

I want to be able to go from a sitting position with a snowboard on my feet to standing.
- This is a long way off and looking back at how much I struggled to snowboard before I’m very wary of this. However, I have the money now to be able to take private lessons. Great, I just need to be fit enough so I can get up when I fall, I have the stamina to snowboard for a while and be able to reach my feet to do up my bindings. One day I will be good enough to go away with Ben and everyone. I hated snowboarding because I just wasn’t fit enough to do it, it hurt, I ached and it was horrible. However, it is the coolest sport ever and I’d love to share it with Benji.

I want to model
- Not professionally for anything like that. I just want to be thin enough to be in some gorgeous photographs. Even self portraits for sites such as Lookbook.nu. Currently I can only handle headshots, I just hate looking at full length pictures of myself unless they are the crappy ones I take with my iPhone in the mirror.

Obstacles

Drinking
- I love booze. It is my downfall, I’m not a binge drinker, I’m not an alcoholic. However, I enjoy beer and I know that over Christmas I’m going to drink loads (hopefully I’ll try and stick to vodka and diet coke) so I’ve decided that for the next two weeks I’m not going drink. It feels like a huge undertaking. I can do it and I believe it will seriously help me lose the weight.

Exercise
- I can’t seem to exercise. I can’t get into the habit and I just can’t get motivated to do it. I /need/ to start doing EASA and I /need/ to start doing yoga. Just once a week to begin with. Before Christmas I’m going to try and complete a full 30day challenge on EASA.
