Ready! Set! GO!

I had decided before we left for our vacation to NC that once we returned, I would challenge myself to lose as much weight as I could in 20 weeks. No, I'm not going to do anything unhealthy! I set my start date to be 07/11 and my ending date is 11/28. I will weigh in every Sunday and will have my hubby take my measurements. I did have him take them (my measurements) yesterday and I am debating whether to post those. Hmm... Maybe in a couple weeks, but just not yet. I don't think I'm too comfortable posting that much info.

I did make an oath to myself and even went so far as to type it up and print it off. Yep, it's currently chilling in my exercise 3-ring binder that contains my food journal and my exercise chart. I think, that in a week or so, I might post that as well. I'm feeling a bit too lazy and tired to go find it on my computer and do the whole copy & paste thing right now.

Why am I feeling so tired? Well, I managed to pull myself out of my bed around 4:25a.m. and was at the YMCA a couple minutes before they opened. *Gasp* Yes, I really was! :) I think I even surprised myself with that one. Anyway, I did 3 miles on the track (about 8-9 laps were spent running while the remaining were speed-walking.) Did you know that it takes 12 laps around the track to equal a mile? I did 36 laps! I also did some strength training. I mainly focused on my lower body today; tomorrow I will focus on my upper body.

I also decided to cut out all caffeine for-- do I dare say-- the next 20 weeks? Gah! Give up my dark, bubbly beverage for that long? My hot, oh-so-yummy Dunkin' Donuts coffee? Sigh. I didn't need them anyway. *pouts* So far, today is Day 2 without either one! Whoa! lol Yeah, I know, 2 whole days isn't very long, but I'm trying here, just give me some time.
