Today is Day 1. I woke up at 2pm and I just weighed myself naked.
My base weight...wait for it...is 235.6 POUNDS!!! WTF?!!!
I can't believe it's that high. I did have my "final" no-holds-barred meal last night so maybe it's just my overly full intestinal tract. I hope so.
My final goal weight is 135 lbs. Come to think of it, a loss of 100 lbs is such a nice, round number. But for right now, my focus is 70 in 90 - 70 lbs in 90 days and my first goal is 10 lbs in 7 days (that includes water and intestinal loss so it shouldn't be that difficult).
For the next 2 weeks I'm going to be on a completely liquid diet - primarily protein shakes but also soups, diet sodas, water. My max calories will be 1000 (again, a nice round number) and my minimum will be 600 to 800. I need to make it as hard as possible so that when I start eating whole foods again, my body sees it as something wonderful, as a treat or salvation or something. That might not work for everybody but that's how my mind/body works.
For exercise I'm going to walk 30 minutes a day - no specific pace - and stay at that duration for the whole 2 weeks. That way my joints, tendons, and muscles won't be overloaded.

I Am:
- A Gypsy's Daughter
- I'm 39 years olds and I'm just trying to find my place in the world. I've had a few careers, owned a few businesses, and overcame a few challenges. Now, after an entire life-time of trying my hardest to be who and what I thought everybody else wanted me to be, I'm finally ready to be myself. The fun part is uncovering who that is.
