Chris is done, I believe. A friend of mine, while incredibly drunk, asked him last night if he was into me. He said he liked me and was into me, but he was under the impression that I wanted a relationship (which I do) and he's not wanting that right now. So, I guess I got an answer, but I'm totally pissed that my friend did that after I asked him a few weeks ago NOT to talk to him about it. So here is my goal. I have GOT to lose weight. I want to spend some time away from the bar for multiple reasons... and while I'm doing so, I need to kick some ass in weight loss. When I go back to that bar, I want to look like a different person. I've been doing a half-assed job of losing weight lately, and it's paid off some - I've lost 25-30lbs in the last six months. But that's not enough for me. I want to be losing about 10lbs per month. Or around 2lbs per week. I'm not sure how to make that happen. My first goal is to change my diet some. I know I need to start exercising more, but I don't know how MUCH I should be exercising in order to reach my desired weight loss. 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week? Something tells me that probably isn't enough, but I have no idea. Should I be doing any kind of strength training? I'm already a bit of a "big" girl thanks to my fathers Italian genes... and I'm pretty muscular. I don't want to get bulky, but I know that muscle burns fat. Any health freaks out there who can help me out? I need as much help as I can get!!!
