Hello 3 people that follow my blog currently and everyone else that may happen to read it!
My friend Kerry had the idea of losing 25 pounds before she was 25, so I have decided that I will try to lose 26 pounds before I am 26!
My birthday is on May 8th, which means when I start tomorrow I will have exactly six months to do so. That means, I have 22 weeks. I will have to lose approximately 1.2 pounds per week to reach my goal. That is fairly reasonable I think.
Why am I doing this? Do I really need to lose 26 pounds? I don't quite need to lose 26 pounds, but to be in the healthy range I do need to lose weight. I am 5' 4" and weigh about 155lbs. (This is approximate, I will weigh myself tomorrow and then every week there after...) My BMI is 27. Anything between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy BMI. If I lose 26 pounds, my BMI will be 23, in the healthy range.
So, why start this now, especially before Christmas? Well, why not? I just thought about it today and realized that tomorrow will be exactly 6 months before I turn 26. Instead of waiting until the New Year, I might as well be watchful of my weight now, since my tendency is to gain weight during the holidays...
Also, for any first time readers, why do I call myself The Sexy Techie? It's because, will even though I'm not in the best shape, I'm still pretty damn sexy. Also I know a lot about computers. Not as much as I would like, but I also changing that as well. I am currently teaching myself Python, and I am signed up for a Java class starting in January.
So I guess this blog will be documenting my decent into becoming sexy as well as becoming a techie...
I am hoping I can inspire others to follow in my footsteps. Also, I would love some advice from others on how they keep their weight under control/keep healthy.
Anyway, peace out! I will check in tomorrow at some point :)
