62 is my number for 2011 :)

Here my recap of 2011...

Dec 25 2011

It's kind of hard to tell how big this shirt is on me.
It went from being tight a year a go to huge on me :) 
I lost 62lb total!!! but all I've been thinking about is how much  more I want to lose, 76lbs. My goal is to lose the rest and be at my goal weight by Oct 9th (my bday). I need to lose 8lbs a month or 2lbs a week to get to this goal (and be over by 4lbs) I am determined to make this happen and I will succeed.

I plan to catch myself before I fall off the wagon and get myself back up. I'm going to plan better for family events and shopping trips. DH and I usually eat out when we go shopping because we spend so much time in town and live 30 minutes away so I am going to try and pack food. For family events I am going to bring my own food. I am done caring what they think.  When I am healthy and happy at my goal thats all that matters :)

A few family event ago I went and ate a little bit of there food. It wasn't anything that was on my primal diet. Literally NOTHING!! so I ate a few little things trying to chose the best I could. I was told by more than one person going off the diet one time wasn't going to hurt anything. People just don't get my PCOS body! I gained 7lbs and I didn't even eat that much. When I go from not processed food, grains etc. to a little bit my body hates me. I felt so sick and bloated. DH noted my bloating! hah In a few days I was down 5 of those 7 and it took probably 4 days to not look or feel bloated anymore and honestly I didn't enjoy a single thing I ate but I ate because I was hungry. My mom has been cooking foods I can eat and at my cousins birthday there were a few things I could eat, not what I would normally eat but not bad for me. (sorry for the mini rant, I'm just trying to explain how my body works)

Another goal for this year is I'm going to focus on getting healthy and not the scale. I obsess so much over the number and not the real issue which is getting healthy. I am so much more fit than I was before. Last February or March DH and I started C25K. um yeah I couldn't run 60 secs three times, I felt like I was dying! Yesterday My cousins and I attempted it and I was good to go. Made it through over half of day one. We stopped bc it was so windy and it made my chest hurt and cousin was having a hard time also but I know I could have finished it. I am still coughing like crazy and wheezing. However they are will to start P90X with me today :) I have done P90X several times but just do the ones I like so I'm excited to have someone doing it with me :) Also the first time I tried P90X with DH I was laying on the mat about 10-20 mins in ready to give up and now I can do the same one the whole way through. My fitness level has improved tremendously! However when I look at myself in the mirror I feel like the same over weight person I used to be. Instead of letting that get me down and stopping me I am going to use it as modivation!! :)

Another goal, I want to run a 5k this year. Not walk/run, I want to run the entire thing. Depending on how soon I get to that place I'd also like to RUN a 10k :) I've been saying for 2 years I want to run a 5K and this year is the year!

I am also not going to weight myself every week this month like I normally do (or more). I am going to just eat right and work out and see where that takes me.

Happy New Year!!!
I'd love to hear some of your Goals for this year.
