Resolution #1: Lose 50 lbs

The premise seems easy enough; lose 4.17 lbs per month for 12 consecutive months. I’ve lost 20 lbs in a month before, this is totally doable.

Here are my stats:

Age: 29 years

Height: 5’ 9”

Weight: 185 lbs

BMI: 27.3

This puts my firmly in the overweight category. I want to look amazing in my clothing; I want to feel amazing. Being overweight is a constant embarrassment and a weakness. I’m over being weak. In my early twenties I started working full time and it seems like the weight flung itself onto my body, holding on for dear life. The before pics are actually from two years ago when I was determined to lose the weight, but here I am, 24 months later and the exact same weight. This year is different. This year, I am in control.

I will accomplish this goal by cooking more often. I’m simply going to cook at home, yummy healthy (for the most part) foods and I’m going to exercise. Simple. Let’s do this.

 Resolution #1 update:

 Days left: 365

Weight to lose: 50 lbs
