Fake post Number 1

I'll call this fake because technically it was typed up in another blog before I decided to make a blog devoted to the fact that I am quite possibly one of the most head strong people so I have no worries that if I set my mind to it, this will happen. Below is a c&p from the other one. An actual post will follow.

>>So can we talk about how 4 weeks ago, I posted up some long rambly thing about wanting to slim down/tone up? Do you remember because I barely didn't.

I joined a gym and would use it in spurts. Over the past week and a half I've started to be a little more iffy about using it. I'd sleep in or go out or do some half ass weight exercise at home. I'd eat really well and then totally sabotage everything with some deliciousness Dunkin Donuts for work. I ended up losing 5 pounds but when I weighed myself today, I was at the starting weight. And then I started to basically read the archives of Dietgirl (http://www.dietgirl.org) and in oh, let's say 3 days, I read 5 years. She's incredibly plucky and determined and gave me some good ideas. She's a Scorpio and in one of her entries, remarked how Scorpians are kind of all or nothing. We like deadlines, we like goals and most of all, we like challenges. (Hello, me to a T!) So it's Balls to the Wall - pardon the colorful language - for the next 38 days until I go back to school.

The thing that made the most sense to me was accountability in her journal and little mission challenges. So I've decided to adopt that with Tuesday Tasks as well as a weigh in. The tasks will apply to just the week but if I enjoy what I'm seeing, hopefully I can add on so over the next 5 weeks I can have a whole buttload of healthy habits. I hate being obsessed with numbers and I know a daily weigh in, though effective I've read, would put me through the roof. I'm gonna be ballsy and actually post numbers and hope it'll help me stay true. So...this week's tasks.

Tuesday Tasks
1) Take the stairs. This really only applies to 3 days a week but I work on the 9th floor in the city. I plan to take those stairs up and down. Occasionally when I go grab Subway, I go down and up for lunch so that will count too. I shall climb those stairs (at least to the 8th floor because there's no 9th floor exit).
2) NO DRIVE THRUS. This is probably the saddest. Mom and Dad make AMAZING food for dinner and occasioanlly when I come home, I pass by a McDonalds and am craving fried chicked and a milkshake. So I stop even though I'll be eating healthy good dinner in 20 minutes. NO DRIVE THRUS.
3) Cut out full calorie sodas. I'm starting to drink more water. Yesteray, I had 2 liters. Today, I haven't had that much. But I love soda too much and have found that Diet Mountain Dew and Diet Cherry Coke taste similar enough to trick my mind. I'm usually pretty good but often I slip and I slip hard (we're talking like...20 ounces + usually). So Diet Soda and craploads of water, sure!

Age: 20
Initial Weight: 235.6
Net weight lost in 2007: 0 lbs

I guess I should feel good that this isn't a well used journal because I imagine a good amount of the posts in the next month or so are going to be weight/health related. If that bothers you, please let me know and I can switch it over to just a health focused Blogger or something.

Balls to the Wall 2007!<<
