Losing 100lbs in 3 months: Day 1

Here we go guys. If you haven't been on my blog before welcome! I'm a 37 year old mother of 3 studying to be a health therapist. I have a long list of goals I want to achieve before I turn 40 and one of those goals is to finally put this weight behind me and move forward.

I currently weight 294 pounds and I am 6' tall. My BMI is sitting at 40. My total goal is to weigh 165lbs. I know that 100lbs in 3 months is crazy. 3 months is about 12 weeks which means losing roughly 7lbs per week. I am tired of being overweight and a lot of my goals involve increase my activity level. I want to be able to run half marathons at a faster pace and live a long and healthy life.

Why such a short time? Because realistically I want to lose this weight quickly. Bariatric surgery patients lose this kind of weight in the same amount of time often. I want to do this without surgery and while my health hasn't been impacted by my weight in a terrible way yet I know I can't keep dodging these bullets.

What's my plan? Obviously to lose that much weight that quickly there has to be a plan. 

I'm going back to my roots and eating Paleo. Fruit, veggies, and meats. I'm also supplementing with meal shakes and protein shakes to help increase my protein. I am going to work on hitting my protein goal numbers every day. I'm going to use some supplements to make sure I'm getting a complete nutrition profile. 

I plan on making sure I get to my 120 ounces of water every single day. I also plan on moving my body for at least an hour every single day. I currently have beach body, phorm 1, and a few other options for work outs to build strength that I'm going to utilize and I'm going to do a half marathon training program. 

Follow along on my daily journey. I will be posting on here at least three times a week to improve my writing and stay accountable. I will post my first day pictures tomorrow. I will be successful. I can't keep pushing off my weight loss and my health.
