Happy, Hopeful & Healthy

So I made a list...

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:41:11 -0400

These are the first set of goals I’ve set for myself to help me on my way to saying goodbye to my weight…

~~1. Give up cigarettes and alcohol~~

2. Start going for walks 3 times per week for at least 30 minutes

3. Snacking healthily. More fruit & lots of water.

4. Increase my level of exercise. Introduce a more rewarding cardio.

5. Eliminate unhealthy foods from regular meals. Start using healthy alternatives.

6. Increase level of exercise to difficult cardio 3 times per week and introduce weights.

7. Only one ‘unhealthy’ day per week.

8. Eating healthily & exercising regularly = FEELING HAPPY :)

Of course I am well aware these goals aren’t specific, but they’re important to my journey. Looking forward to the day I can say I ticked these all off! :) xoxo

I went to the doctors today

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:02:00 -0400

And did the thing I was most nervous about. Asking about how unhealthy I really am. The doctor could visibly see that I needed to lose weight without getting on the scales which was a bit of a shock for me because although I know I am overweight I thought I was able to hide it quite well. Next, she measured my height and weight which created a BMI of 36. She said to aim below 30 as it is a good first target. (My other measurements are in my About Me section).

After determining that I was an eligible candidate for a free six-week exercise programme encouraged by the university for other teens such as myself I was on my way.

Although I am unsure of when I can start this programme as it is away from home, and of course over summer I will not be living here, and right now I have exams which take precedent over this new beginning of mine, I am confident I can start to look in the right direction and at least improve my attitude to being healthy.

It’s been upsetting to hear that I am worse than I thought, but I think things can only get better now. I’ve almost confirmed what I already knew. I look forward to changing my life now.

“Those of you at home looking for the modified version of a jumping jack, look elsewhere. Not going to give that to you because I know you can handle it. I’ve got 400 pound people that can do jumping jacks, so can you.”
