Project New Me Continues

I was very excited this weekend when I step on the scale at in was below 180.  It was a big step for me.  Today I was noticing that my pants were much looser, to the point that I kept having to pull them up.  I also had a sweater on that I have had for a long time and it looked really big on me.  I still need to start exercising. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and found our that my thyroid is not functioning properly and was put on medication to help (I will do a separate post about it).  I am finally starting to get some energy, but I am so busy at work that I don't get home until 7 at night most nights.  At that point I need to make dinner and try to spent so time with Ri before she goes to bed.  And this past weekend I got sick to the point that I was on the couch for 2 days.  But I am sticking with my diet and the pounds are coming off.  Not only that but I got to strike through one of goals as I have reached it.  And I am 2 lbs from reaching the another. YEAH ME!!

Starting weight: 185 lbs
Current weight: 177 lbs
Goal weight: 145 lbs

So here are my goals:

1. Drop 5 lbs

2. Work out every day even if it only for 10 minutes (Number of days in a row of working out: 0)

3. Drop 10 lbs

4. Follow my diet (Number of days in a row of following diet: 6 (went out on Valentine's))

5. Drop 15 lbs

6. Don't cheat, ie no candy (Number of days in a row of no cheating: 0) I broke down and had a fun size candy bar today, it was a long day
