In Search of the Dream

Those who dare having a project in life, foregoing everything to live their Personal Legend, will end up achieving anything. The important thing is to keep the fire in your heart and be strong to overcome hard moments.

Remember, the desires that are in our souls do not come from the nothingness; someone put them there. And this someone, who is pure love and only wishes our happiness, only did it because he gave us, together with these desires, the tools to make them happen.

The Risky Climb

In the middle of a storm, a pilgrim reaches an inn and the owner asks where he is going.

“I’m going to the mountains,” he answers.

“Forget it,” says the innkeeper, “it’s a risky climb, and the weather is awful.”

“But I’m going up,” answers the pilgrim, “if my heart gets there first, it will be easy to follow it with my body.”

RULES

So, the plan is to try get back up to the level of fitness I was at when I was under 140. But also, I just need to realise that I have to eat less if I want to slim down. So, RULES!

1. I need to make sleep (at least 8 hours a night) and water a priority. 2 litres minimum.

2. No junk food. Thank God, Lent starts on Wednesday - PERFECT to keep that in check

3. 1500 calories a day is what I need to maintain my weight. I'm going to start off by keeping it to 1300 - TRACKING MY CALORIES ON FITNESS PAL.

4. Exercise - running + some form of weights (more to come...)

5. No alcohol - Stick to David Kirsch's ABCDEF

• A - no alcohol/fizzy drinks
• B - no bread
• C - no starchy carbs (
• D - One serving of dairy a day NO MORE!
• E - No extra sweets
• F - No fruit (I eat too much fruit maybe so I'm going to just cut back on fruit all together - try get my 5-a-day from vegetables)

...

Plan for tomorrow:

B - egg whites + rocket + rashers + VitC drink

L - tuna salad

L2 - soup

D - Chicken?

WATER WATER WATER!

I'm Going To Be 130 lbs

I need to lose 26 pounds.

I've forgotten how important it is to take care of yourself and, quite frankly, taking care of yourself physically is key to taking care of your head : )

Went running today, felt good. 30 min. And it was haaaaaaard. Well, harder than I remember it to be. What wasn't hard though was actually getting out the door, I think I just reached a point this afternoon where I decided I was to have to re-introduce exercise back into my everyday life, lest I should become a completely unproductive potato.

HW - 156 (right now, March 2011)
