Labor Day Weekend and New Commitment!

This labor day weekend I am renewing my commitment to live a healthy lifestyle and to lose weight. I need to lose about 150 pounds to be healthy. My first goal may seem somewhat extreme, however, I will have smaller goals to keep me on track. 

First Goal: Lose 50 pounds by December 31, 2011

This renewed commitment has all started with the beginning of the No Soda September Challenge. The challenge is being hosted by Mike at Starting At 500 Pounds. I also must admit that all this is also due to Mary at asmallloss and her being back on track! It all inspires me so much! I can't wait to be down 50lbs!!! 

My first official day on the no soda's will be September 3rd. I finished off the two Dr. Peppers we had in the fridge on September 1st then, I broke down on the 2nd and purchased one from a machine. 

My daily routine will (hopefully) go as follows:

Wake up: 6am

Workout Complete: 6:40am

Shower/Breakfast Complete: 8am

Be at school: 830am

My smaller goals will be in ten pound increments! I am so excited!!!

Thanks for reading,

Right classroom...wrong time!

Fall 2011

has started!

I have started classes for Fall. I am taking Math 0303 and English 1302. I am very happy with my English teacher, she is so very sweet. My math teacher is nice however, she teaches SUPER fast!!! I will have to be very disciplined and organized to keep up with her.

So about the title of this, I am so definitely a BLOND;

Tuesday was the first day of class and I made the brilliant decision to NOT print my schedule and just put the room number and class in a memo on my phone. Well, I forgot to put the times in my phone. After traffic and having to walk FOREVER to get to the building I had gone to the right classroom but at the wrong time! I felt so dumb! 

Anyway finally made it to math and had a great day!

Realized I will need to take a snack for in between classes, almost fell asleep my first day in English. I also have new goals for this semester, by the end of this Fall semester I want to achieve:

1. take all 3 flights of stairs without being winded 

2. not feel like my tummy sits on the desk while I take notes

3. be under 200lbs!

Three simple very achievable goals for this semester!

I am very excited!

Dedication and discipline is my mantra for this semester!
