The Stats

I need to lose approximately 20lbs in 12 months. Ahh, now you all understand the title of my blog. So here are the stats to start us off.

Height (unchanging): 5'4''

Weight (ever-changing): 152

Pant Size (ever-depressing): 8-10

Worst Feature (a big-whopping tie): flabby arms and pudgy stomach

Goals: 

1 month: Healthier skin (fewer chocolate-induced breakouts), weigh in at or under 145.

2 months: Weigh in under 145. Size 10 pants be too big.

3 months: Weigh in under 140. Arms more defined.

4 months: Weigh in at 135. Wear size 6-8 pants.

5 months: Weigh in under 135. Walk/run at least 3 times a week.

6 months: Weigh in under 135. Run at least 3 times a week. Look good for anniversary trip.

7 months: Weigh in around 132. Tone legs, shrink cankles. Eat fresh fruits, salads at least 3x a week.

8 months: Maintain weight. Eat healthier. No fast food (if unavoidable, only Subway).

9 months: Maintain weight. Tone arms, legs.

10 months: Maintain weight. Work on building abs.

11 months: Maintain weight. Feel comfortable in all clothes.

12 months: Be healthy. Not concerned with weight or dress size, but instead happy and secure and comfortable in my own skin.

As you can see, it's a 20-pound goal. But I know I can do it. I will be logging my meals, exercising more, and hopefully getting healthier day by day in 2012.
