Beginning in the middle part two...the plan.

I will admit, this did not start out as a plan to start dating...it began as a plan to get my crap together and look pretty at Walt Disney World.  No joke, I am going to Disney World in December and I want to look decent in the many photos I plan on taking.  It was also a plan to figure myself out spiritually...it still is...I hope.

The plan began way back in July.  It consisted of gradual steps to a healthy mind, body, and spirit.  I was totally gung-ho.  I planned on losing eight pounds a month, reading my scriptures, praying, exercising, and eating healthy.  So far so good actually.  I need to lose 100 pounds to be out of the "overweight" or "obese" category, and when I finally reach that goal of 145lbs I will then consider myself "dateable" (not that I'm discounting the plethora of other traits important for dating...the "fat" is just the biggest road block at the moment.) 

I'm almost three months in to this adventure.  I've lost thirty pounds and am therefore 30% of the way to dateable.  I'm working on the scripture reading, praying, and exercise.  The Orem Fitness Center was closed for two weeks early in September, and I let that get me off of the wagon...getting back on the wagon has been harder than expected.  Never underestimate the laziness of a /dieting/ woman.

Remember, this plan did not start out as a dating scheme.  I'm twenty five and I'm over the Mormon/Utah mentality of "I have to get married as soon as possible" nonsense.  I'm going to count the possibility of dating as a plus to looking hot in Disney related photos and/or being able to run/play lacrosse again.

Frankly, I think I need this blog to keep me on the "straight and narrow" so to speak.  I'm just going to assume masses of people will read these blogs and expect me to provide them with interesting forays into the life of a /plus-size/ Utah County Mormon trying to figure out her life.
