The Start

So the Body For Life Challenge didn't work for me - I never felt my heart and soul into the challenge like I did last year. However, I WANT to look like and feel like I did last year. Perhaps I felt the way I did because I looked better than I ever have and now I have reached the point were I am used to looking at my body - it hard to say but I want to surpass were I was last year.

I want to look incredible for Florida and Bike Week this year. I want Dan's friend to say WOW - she is beautiful. I think I've never been "beautiful" and to hear Dan and hear anyone else say it just does wonders.

So I've come up with my own plan for myself. Here are the rules...I've got roughly 30 days until Florida (we leave April 1st). Therefore I want to see if I can reach my weight goals and fitness goals in 30 days...it's going to be tough but I want to suceed and 30 days is doable.

I weigh around 135-136lbs - I want to lose 10 lbs (125lbs). I will limit my diet to 1000-1200 calories a day - staying closer to the 1000 mark. I will have 5-6 meals a day. I will not have a complete free day - I will have one day that I can drink as much as I want but I need to stay away from sweets and fatty foods. So when we dine out it's back to salads. I will continue with workouts 6 days a week with the only change increasing my cardio time to 25-30 minutes. I will continue with my fat burners.

Tomorrow starts day one of this challenge - I am competing against myself and I am going to win!
