Sorry for the double blog today, guys! I just couldn’t leave here with such a negative blog post being the last thing out there. I’m DONE dwelling on what I haven’t achieved, on the woulda-coulda-shoulda’s, and I’m ready to focus on what’s gone WELL, and what I am doing to do NOW.

I’ve lost 35 lbs so far since Jan 1st. That’s amazing! I’m down from a size 20/22 to a size 12/14. That’s amazing! I’m actually managing to haul my butt through Insanity workouts. That’s amazing!

I just changed my work schedule back to 7-3:30. This doing Insanity before work thing just isn’t working for me. I just do NOT have the energy right after waking up to do these intense workouts. I wanted to do Insanity in the morning so I could still get to Zumba a few nights a week, but I haven’t been to Zumba in 2 weeks. SO, time to change things up!

Work schedule moved back to 7-3:30. This gives me more time for workouts (and cooking dinner!) in the evening!

June action plan:
• Do Insanity daily (evenings, no later than 8 p.m.)
• Zumba 1x/week (if I can’t make it to a class, I’ll do the video game for 30 min)
• Curves 2x/week (6 a.m., before work)
• Walk/jog 15+ miles/wk (average 2-3 miles/day)
• Cook dinner at home 6 nights a week
• Pack a lunch 4 work days a week
• Reduce sodium (less than 2,300 mg/day)

I’m probably not going to make my 100 lbs lost goal by the end of 2011. That’s OK. That was my really big, “reach for the stars” goal. My realistic goal was 50 lbs by the end of the year. I’m 35 lbs down, which leaves only 15 lbs to go. With 7 months left in the year, that’s 100% do-able. That’s just 2-3 lbs a month. I have got this in the bag – all I have to do is not give up.

And really, with 65 lbs left to lose to reach 100 lbs lost, I could still possibly make that. That’s a little over 9 lbs a month, which is about 2.3 lbs a week. OK, I probably won’t be able to lose over 2 lbs a week for the next 7 months straight – especially since I’ve been hanging out in the 190’s for 2 months – but I can still darn well TRY. And I can take a good chunk off, anyway, and make it that much closer to my 100 lbs goal.

I forgot I have a volunteer activity on my lunch break, but I’ll still have 30 minutes left after that, during which I’m going to walk/jog 1.5 miles (or maybe 2! We’ll see how fast I manage to go!) I’m also going to walk 3 miles with PEANUTSJ and Qristie this afternoon, and see if John wants to maybe walk/jog with me and then do Insanity. Tomorrow night I’ll try to make it to Zumba at 6:30, then come home and do Insanity.

I CAN DO THIS.
