I have put on a lot of weight over the last 4-5 years. Like a lot of weight, nearly 60 pounds. I’ve come to the point that I’m just disgusting with myself half the time. I live in Florida and don’t go to the beach or pool because I can’t stand to take my shirt off. And no it has nothing to do with showing my infusion set. It took me a long time to admit that I am grossed out about my body when I look in the mirror.
I grew up an athlete, quarterback in college and was in great shape and fit body. My 30th birthday is approaching and one of my best friends from elementary school is getting married the day before my birthday, so I decided on a new goal.
30 by 30 in 90.
What does 30 by 30 in 90 mean? I’m going to lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday in 90 days.
That comes out to about 2.5 pounds a week. That’s not really a lot for someone like me who is just so over weight and such an unhealthy eater. I drink about a 2 litre of soda a day….and maybe a bottle of water a day. So, just by switching those two items around I can lose majority of this weight.
I am a late night worker, so I usually eat around 10-11 P.M. Eliminating that will also help me lose majority of this weight.
The goal is straight forward and the plan is simple.
It all comes down to the execution of the plan, but isn’t that what everything comes down to?
I will be sharing more frequent updates on Twitter.
Sounds like a great goal. It’s doable, but not easy. Everyone in the DOC will be cheering you on!
I wish you lots of success in this endeavor…I’m rooting for you!
Good luck, Chris! I feel like I’m in the same boat as you, but about five years ahead in age… really need to start doing the same as you. A few years ago when I did cut out Diet Coke for the most part, that really helped. Have recently started cutting carb snacking and going with veggies to help, and am trying to do more walking each week. Wishing you the best in moving ahead during these next few months!!
