#sheddingsixtyeight // Dec 2014

I have done absolutely nothing to advance my fitness goals these last two months. I don't think I've been to the gym even once, I wear my fitbit everyday, but don't get aaaaanywhere near my 10,000 step goal, & while I'm going strong with only drinking water, I'm not drinking nearly enough water. I'm so dehydrated!! 

I thought about starting this whole thing over, but I decided I'm just going to pick back up where I left off. When my sixty-eight pounds are gone & I'm where I want to be, I want to look back at my successes & my failures, like doing absolutely nothing for two months. That in & of itself gives me motivation!

Looking back, I think, "What if I had been super serious these past five months? Where would I be now?" & it kiiiiills me! So, I don't want to look back & wish I'd actually done something, I want to look back & be proud of how far I've come. 

So! I'm back to my starting weight, 228, & I'm ready to tackle this sucker. 

Because I don't have a regular picture & I'll want something to compare my chubby cheeks to. Haha

This month! 

Goals:

1) Drink 75 ounces of water every day. I have no clue what my water intake should be. According to whatever pops up on google, it should be somewhere around 74 ounces. If you know your water science & have a better number for me, let me know. ;) Otherwise, I'm aiming for 75 oz! 

2) Go to the gym at least 3 times a week. It's been SO HARD for me to wake up early to exercise, & by the time I'm off of work, going to the gym is the LAST thing I want to do!! But when I do go to the gym in the morning, I feel so much better the rest of the day. Here's to pushing myself out of the door, even when I'd MUCH rather stay in my toasty warm bed!

3) 10,000 steps. My dad has now joined our fitbit club, & he's the perfect motivation to get us all back on our feet. I'm sure we'll start doing challenges this weekend, & we'll be back to walking in circles around the neighborhood, hoping to win that pointless trophy. ;) 

These are basically the same exact goals as before, but if I didn't accomplish them then, there's no point in adding more to the list. 

If you didn't see before, we've started a group on Facebook of people who want to give & receive encouragement & support! You can read more about it HERE & you can join the group HERE! 

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's make this the best year yet!!
