Ouch! how did I get back here?

So this morning I weighed in at a good ole high of 137.8 lbs.

I know I shouldn't get caught up on the number but I will because I haven't weighed this much in a while and I was hoping to keep it that way. Actually I was hoping to see myself lose weight and maybe aim to dip lower than the 130s but yikes that is not the direction I am going in.

How did I get here? It is quite a blur but honestly the lack of consistent exercise, my eating habits and the cheese, sweets and alcohol I've been ingesting sure do all play a part.

Changes must be made. I can deal without the alcohol. I can tackle the cheese and sweets part little by little. I also just need to get my ass into gear and exercise everyday. I've been stressing about my runs but I think I may need to stop stressing and just start moving, whatever that may be.

I want to take this weight loss seriously at this point and I can manage to try to lose .5 lb every week. So If I get myself together and stick to it for 20 weeks I can lose 10 lbs. Maybe I can lose it faster but I rather aim for slower.

I will plan my meals at least breakfast, lunch and snack. I will aim to get 2 veggies in during dinner time and try to keep lunch as a well balanced meal of protein, vegetables, fruits and carbs. I will limit my alcohol and sweet intake. I will exercise from 30-60 minutes a day. I will drink as much water as possible.

I little research says to maintain I need to ingest 1755 calories a day. If I want to lose .5 a week I need to burn 1750 more calories more than consumed, 250 calories per day. So if I consume 1505 calories a day or just burn 250 calories a day I should lose weight.
