10%

Another blog from this girl? I know, I know. I start blogs and then I never post anything after making the blog look pretty. Well, I have decided to start a "Weight Loss" blog. I'm not sitting here telling you all that I'm fat or that this is necessary at all. Just listen..

My family is on my mom's insurance through the hospital where she works. The insurance company offers a weight loss initiative program. Here's the deal...

1)Go to your MD, get a physical, get weighed, etc.
2)Lose 10% of your body weight and get 500 dollars
3)Keep that 10% off for a year and get an additional 1000 dollars

My dad is doing this program right now and has already lost 10 lbs. He's been doing so well and that got me motivated to do it as well! He's been on a 2000 calorie diet per day and has been eating accordingly. After eating my bowl of macaroni and cheese, he somehow talked me into losing weight with him. I'm not saying I'm fat, but I could afford to lose a few lbs. Embarassed to say my weight, let's just say I have to lose 18 lbs to meet my 10% lost. Standing at almost 6'0 tall, I hid my weight pretty well. I lost 15 lbs this past summer after getting my wisdom teeth out and I felt awesome. I could fit into whatever I wanted and wear whatever I wanted and still feel confident. Unfortunately, I gained it all bad as soon as I could open my mouth. Losing that weight and an additional 3 lbs would be phenomenal!

I'm the type of girl that will "exercise tomorrow"...tomorrow never comes. I love fast food and that is my number one no no for this diet. I love Wendy's JBC a little too much. I also dip everything in Ranch. Also a big no no. I'm a cheese lover too. Do I eat anything healthy? Yeah, I eat the lettuce off of my junior bacon cheeseburger..and tomato if they put it on it. Eating healthy has to happen for me to meet my goal weight.

I'm not even sure if anyone will read this, but I need a place to keep track of what I'm eating day to day. I also need a place to vent and pout about this diet thing. I'm going to do it the healthy way and research what I need to eat and how much I need to exercise to meet my 10%. I could surely use 500 dollars asap. Losing 18 pounds before summer would be the best. I will need all the motivation I can get, so if you're willing to help me out with that, it'd be greatly appreciated.
