Sugar Bet

Well crew, i'm really really excited!
This semester, I decided with Bridget Gonzalez and Marcus Strange to go on a sugar bet. We each had our own little personal punishment if we broke before the semester was through. It started on February 17th and has been going the entire semester. ok...so thats only like two months. dang, i thought it was longer. anyways, so bridget broke and had to wear the same pink outfit for two weeks. Marcus broke last week and ate a fried ice cream. We just finished waxing his legs tonight and bridget painted his toenails. i'm the only one who didn't break. and to tell you the truth, i've realy actually enjoyed not having sugar control my life. i feel empowered and I feel like I have control over what I eat, not the other way around. Even though I am free of my bargain, I'm still going to continue doing no sugar. I feel so much better about myself. And my mood is better because my bloood sugar isn't spiking all over the place. I'm really excited to not have sugar!! and I think (not officially weighed in yet) but I started and was around 283. I think I'm probably 265 now. I hope. I've been good at not eating sugar, now i just have to be better at the junk food. its not too bad, just here and there :) I'm just really proud of myself.

Erik is leaving tomorrow and I'm doing the best I can not to think about not having him here. He's my best friend and its going to be hard not to have him around all the time. But i'm really excited because my goal is *cough* to weigh 220 lbs by July 31st. thats 40 lbs. I don't know if i can do it or not. but I'm going to aim high and perhaps I'll lose some of that excess weight. I have may, june and most of july to do it. I have friends who have commited to help me go to the gym and work as hard as I can.
according to my calculations. my metabolism burns about 2500 calories sedentary. If i keep my diet at 1500 calories and burn about 1000 calories a day, thats 2000 calories per day I'll be burning. thats 2/3 of a pound. and if i do that for five days a week thats 10000 for the days I work out and 2000 calories on the weekends. thats 12000 calories which is about 4 lbs. now, and 13 weeks left, thats 52 lbs. I can hope can't i?
we'll see. only 13 weeks left till erik and I get married. I hope I'll be able to fulfill my dream of fitting in a size 16 wedding dress. *cross fingers*
