Day off: I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER

This has been a very therapeutic experience for me. I'm not done with working out or losing weight, but seeing as I moved home today, I decided that it was time for a day off in order to celebrate the year with my family. We went out to lunch and I broke the carb rule by having New England Clam Chowder, but still, I've been good otherwise.

I also didn't make it to the gym today, and I fully doubt that I kept under 800 calories, but I'm home and my mom is able to give me the support I need in order to lose weight. I just need to keep in mind that, in two weeks, I am going to be at my cousin's graduation and I want to prove to them that I am not the fat cousin. While I won't be down as much as I want, I also want to surprise my friends from college when I see them in June because we'll be at the beach and I plan to parade around more comfortable in my swim suit than ever.

Yes, I know. I'm making a lot of plans for how I'm going to act when I get there and what I want to accomplish, but it doesn't sound like I have a plan.

Well, I do.

My mom has decided to join me on the last two weeks of this diet (only breaking the rule about alcohol, of course) and she is also fully supportive of this. She doesn't know that I'm blogging my experience as I sort of journal, but I may show this to her when I finish my goal. I don't know if I'll be able to stop blogging by the time that I get there, but hopefully I'll get there.

So on to my plan.

For two more weeks, I am on the 800 calories thing. I am following Harper's meal plan to the detail for the rest of those two weeks and then I am taking four days off for my cousin's High School graduation!! Whoohoo! By then, I will hopefully have fully read Harper's next book, The Skinny Rules, and will be able to adjust my life to those rules. I'm planning on seeing a nutritionist, and of course, keeping up the exercise. Once I have more calories, I also plan to start working out harder and spending more time at the gym, maybe with a trainer, in order to start toning muscle.

And I know I shouldn't really be able to reach 140 by the end of the summer, and that I'll need to continue it during the year, but I should be able to get close to it by then. I will weigh in as soon as I finish this program too, and probably repost pictures because I think my last links are broken. For now, I'll leave you with something I am looking forwards to, and a workout I really want to try soon!

Love you all!!
