October

|
Weight: 76.5kg / 168.3lbs (Can’t believe I reached the sixties especially since I eat so bad the past week!)

I know it’s already mid October but my early month lack of enthusiasm postponed this monthly entry. When September started I wrote about the goals, expectations and now I’m trying to do the same and review the past month. The list:

- Keep tracking food and workouts
- Dinner always before 7pm (there were only 3-4 exceptions)
- Start the run 5k program
- Try out yoga or pilates
- Workout at least 4 times a week (though I worked out mostly 3 times a week, but those were very active and effective workout sessions, so I consider it a success)

All in all September went well, I passed that crucial exam I was so afraid of, I moved to a new place which turned out to be amazing, my last year of university is also going pretty well. Tons of schoolwork but I manage to find the balance. I’m also living a very active social life right now, there was a week when I went out 4 nights. However, I feel very insecure around people. Not because I care about their opinion me being fat (I do care a little), but the simple fact that I’m not feeling comfortable in my own skin. It can be so annoying to witness what my life would be if I wasn’t this heavy. And I say this because in my friend circle basically I’m the only one who is obese.

As for October I have bigger plans. I mean September seemed like a test month for me, whether I can keep up with myself while I need to attend classes and be back to Budapest. It worked, I just need to boost things up a little. I calculated a little with the numbers and in order to get close to my goal by my birthday I need 1.8-2 pound weekly losses. On 5th November I’m also invited to a huge party, so my short term goal is to get close to the 160lbs mark. In addition:

- Keep tracking food and workouts
- blog regularly
- finish 5k program
- increase weekly workout sessions
- give yoga another try

I stumbled across your blog today while I was looking for other weight loss oriented blogs. I like your insights. I hope you don't mind that I'm following you. =)

I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say!

I'm going to be starting yoga this week. I have to find my DVD. That and Pilates. Since I've talked him into doing it with me, Dan is coming up with workouts for us to do on his Bowflex. He has some weight to lose, not nearly as much as me, but it will help his joints from the injuries he got in that wreck a few years ago. I'm excited.

And I'm proud of you for going out even though you still feel uncomfortable. Most of the time now, I don't think, I'm the fattest person here. I think, I'm fat and I'm still here. I don't think other people notice my weight nearly as much as I do.
