27 days to take off - my Obesity Free Challenge
Greetings all!
Just a short post as I am heading to bed shortly.
There is a great deal of power in having a plan…or a goal. 28 days to getting on a plane is just that kind of goal. Lot of incentive…clothes already bought, and I don’t want to spend more money before I travel; want to look good for family and friends (and I just found out today, a 25th high school reunion!), and…most importantly, I WANT TO BE A SIZE 10-12. I want to feel comfortable (not stuffed like a bell pepper) in the clothes I have picked out.
So…long story short. Eating was right on target, and my movement for the day was practice with the Rochester Rugby team I just connected with. While I am certainly the oldest woman playing…and truthfully, some of these young women could be my children…it is great to be playing again and I just couldn’t be doing that if I had lost weight and got in shape. More importantly, I wouldn’t have even thought of it. Being obese and running around just don’t go together well.
Nonetheless…good workout for 2 hours, calories under 2050, and just one beer after practice. 
Size 10 here I come!
Over the weekend, I have some studies to review and also some specifics about the clothes I will be wearing on my trip. Frankly it stuns me how one store’s size 12 can be the dimensions of a size 8 in another store…so in an effort to make the experiment as structured as possible, I am going to QUANTIFY exactly what size I intend to be on 9-10-09 (TRAVEL DAY)!
