My 90 Day Weight Loss Challenge - Day 1

I did it!! I can't believe it!

Wait, let me back up and give you a bit of history. I am overweight. I have struggled with my weight since I was about 14 years old. I am currently at my highest ever weight of 195 LB!! I am only 5'7" tall. This does not make for a nice figure! I wear a size 18 and tire going up even a single flight of stairs! I hate looking in the mirror and I don't like having pictures taken of me. I am not happy with myself.....

Well, I have decided it is time for a change! Life is too short to live this way and I am wasting time!! I have decided to participate in a 90 day challenge. I will eat right and exercise and monitor my results for the next 90 days. I hope you will share in my adventure!

My Goals for the next 90 days:
♦Exercise 6 days a weeks
♦Combine cardio and weight training in my program
♦Eat 5 small healthy, clean meals a day (eating foods in their natural state!)
♦Remove processed foods from my daily diet
♦Stopping eating out

Results I am Aiming for:
♦ I want to lose 2 lb a week x 12 weeks for a total loss of 24 lb!
♦ I would like to build some muscle
♦ I want to lose 4 clothing sizes
♦ I hope to gain energy
♦ I look forward to being able to bend down to strap on a snowboard this winter!

My Start:
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 195 LB
Measurements: Chest- 43 inches
                        Waist- 39.5 inches
                         Hips - 47.5 inches

So, what did I do that I am so excited about?!?

I walked an hour on a treadmill. That's right a whole hour!!! I am very excited by this because I have not walked a whole hour in a VERY long time. And yes, it was hard! I had to talk myself all the way through it. I told myself I would walk 15 minutes. When I reached that goal, I told myself "only 10 more minutes. You can walk for 10 minutes!". Well, you get the idea! And I did it! I am pouring sweat and huffing like a pack-a-day smoker, but I did it!

I hope to up date you every week through the 90 days of this challenge with how my planned exercise and eating have gone. I will tell you in the coming weeks what I have changed in my diet, how I am feeling, what exercise I am doing and what my weekly weigh in is!!

I hope you will join me for this exciting challenge! I could use all the support I can get!!

Thanks you reading and don't forget to.....
Keep it Natural!

  1. Good luck Rita. You can do it. It all gets easier the more you do it. Then eventually you get to the point where you miss it if you aren't exercising.

    There are tonnes of things I eat now that I never thought would be a normal part of my diet.

  6. I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's equally educative
    and interesting, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  13. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but
    I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I'd
    certainly appreciate it.
