I finally reached a healthy weight for my height, but I still have abdominal fat, so I hope to have a waist of 64 or 65cm, the last measurement was 69cm
Ugh, I was down to 182 lbs and for some stupid reason relaxed my habits and now I am back up to 189 lbs. I am listening to a book about habits and plan to incorporate some of what I learned.
There is a que, an action, and a reward. My bad habit that I fell into was eating husbands jelly beans, one or two small handfulls a day. I made a batch of sugar free jell (chemicals, I know) to give me something when I have that urge. The other habit I will change is to stay out of the kitchen unless I am eating at the table or preparing food.
Actions
1. Stop eating husbands candy (I live in a Willy Wonka house).
2. Stay out of the kitchen.
Reward after one week of success

My mini goal for June was walking over 200 miles, but my step tracker app has decided to "update" (in reality break itself) and now I have to push that one off. So now, I'm going to work on doing my first push-up since like 2010. My work gym reopens Monday, and I'm going to hit it hard with the bench press, incline push-up, and plank. I hope to have a strict push-up by the end of July.
I want to get into the 150s by the beginning/middle of next month. My mini-goals have been ten pound goals. So far I have lost 22lbs, working towards 30.
I have two Primary Goals and two Secondary.
Primary 1. weight down to 170 (I was at 315 in July of 2016) I'm at 177 now.
2. Body fat down to under 20% (it was at 24.8% when I was at 185).
Secondary 1. I have pair of Marine Class A Trousers which last fit me in 1984 I want to wear them comfortably for the Marine Corps 245th Birthday 10 Nov. 2020.
2. Complete a 3 mile Run in under 20 min. (this one is going take awhile).
Mini goal 1 : get under 70kg (I was 70.4kg this morning so hopefully this one is in the next week or two)
Mini goal 2 : fit COMFORTABLY into my jeans. It is theoretically possible to get them on and buttoned right now but not if I want to be able to breathe or move.
Mini goal(s) 3: each 2kg down from 70kg until 62kg (I’ll be chubby at 62kg but theoretically l’ll be out of overweight.
After a couple of decades at being very obese, I decided to do something about it, and I lost about 75lbs in 11 months, just counting calories and avoiding some foods, mostly because they meant I 'd have to eat a lot less during the whole day, to enjoy a nice half lb cheeseburger. Then I got a job managing a fast food place. 9 months later I am back to my starting weight (though 6 inches smaller jeans, go figure), so it was time to change jobs (a good thing too, cause a month later it shut down anyways due to the virus, and it doesn't look like it will ever re-open) So now I work at a produce wholesaler, which gives me the choice to eat a lot healthier, but I still eat some junk during the day, and just maintain my weight.
So, coming to my newly found motivation: It's the oldest reason in the book. New GF, need to improve my stamina, and show her I can take care of myself too. So, back to watching what I eat. We'll see how it goes.
Secondary reasons, I have some new clothes that are now very tight, some motorcycle gear that no longer zips up, AND with my regained weight, I can't take a second person on my sportbike, (max weight
is 390lbs, and I take most of that) so no romantic rides during the summer now.
My first mini goal is to be 165 when we go on vacation next month (currently 168).
My second goal is to be 160 by September 19 ( my husband and I are renewing our vows).
My 3rd goal is to be 150 by March 15th (30th birthday).

Made it to 179.4 today! Bye bye 180s.
zip the straight size 16's (Maybe after TOM leaves!)
Lose 40 pounds (I have lost 35)
Get my weight below 260 (currently 263)
I don't think I've weighed under 260 since I was in college 25 years ago. And I know I haven't been in a straight 16 since I was a teenager.
3lbs
Every day a bit closer!
