Do NOT be realistic

Saw this, this morning in a facebook post.  /The poster went from 265lbs to 130ish pounds and is now on the verge of becoming a pro boxer.  So inspired by this woman.

I have spent many years being told I am not realistic in life goals,,,, you can't, you shouldn't - why would you... have been words I've always heard. Is it realistic to lose 100lbs for someone who has been heavy their whole life - YES.  Is it realistic that a nearly 50 year old can box - HELL YES and is it realistic that a fat, nearly 50 year old woman can lift crazy weights and turn her body into that of a fine tuned athlete - FUCK YES!!!!

Today is day 2 back on my metabolic diet.  It's funny because I have been running to the bathroon constantly but haven't been drinking any more water than normal... Turns out my body was releasing all the water that has accumulated over the holiday's with all the bad food choices.  This morning I am down 7 of the lbs I was up over the holidays.

Feeling strong

Prep day

Groceries are purchased, and prep work is about to begin.  

Setting myself up for success.

Yesterday was a bit of a bust food wise.  I didn't have any healthy options in the house so I ended up eating a ton of carbs.

I know that the key to my success is planning my meals.  If I don't have healthy options, prepped or cooked and ready to go, I will fail.  I am not going to let that happen.

Just finished a grocery list and will head out shortly.  Will be trying 3 new recipes.  1 breakfast type option and two man meal options.  What I plan on doing is having my two "main meals" at breakfast and lunch, and then have the lighter "breakfast" type meal in the evening.  I will be working out 4 nights of the week with a trainer and I find it difficult to eat anything in the hours before I work out so I think this will work for me.  Who said breakfast has to be eggs or cereal anyway.  I will be rocking some beef and sczechwan beans for breakfast and egg muffins for dinner.  Whatever works right.

The basis of my Poon diet is very low carbs, low salt and low fat, so my food choices for this first phase are very restricted.  Lots of meat and leafy green options, vegetables but no dairy, fruit, carbs.  I did do a couple of weeks of this diet before Christmas and I dropped weight, so I am excited to get back on it and STAY on it.

4 months until my trip south.  I have no doubt that I will NOT be bikini ready in May, but I think I can at least get to a place where I feel comfortable on a beach.  Heading down for a destination wedding.  It's time to get back to where I was last year at this time, which is 50lbs less than i am right now.  230LBS IS MY GOAL WEIGHT FOR MY TRIP.
