Food Will Be My Only Expense....I Hope?!

Yesterday was my first day as a (nearly) permanent resident of Honolulu, HI. My day started at the early time of 6am.  Bryon and I ran around the city doing various errands which started at Target.  Normally it would take 15 to 20 minutes (without traffic) to get to Target--a little different for you Midwesterners who have one on every corner--however Bryon missed our exit and we proceeded to drive around for 30 extra minutes trying to figure out how to get back to where we started. Eventually we found it..after both of us were extremely irritated. At Target I managed to spend a good $80 on shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, and food. Yes ladies and gentlemen food is very expensive in Hawaii, so if you ever visit or plan on living here make sure you can handle the idea of shopping for food at Wal-Mart or Target.
After we finished our grocery shopping, and managed to make it home in the allotted time it should take, we unpacked the groceries and ran more errands. This time we ran to Sports Authority and Wal-Mart. I'm searching for those weighted bars that you find at the gym. Can't seem to find one, so I'm going to have to find another way to workout my arms and legs.
Which brings me to my next topic. Weight Loss. Today is my first day of getting in shape and eating healthier. At this time in my life I am at heavy set weight of 118 pounds. My goal is to get down to 105 pounds. Bryon and I did the calculations last night, and it looks as though I will be cutting down my calorie intake to 1237 calories a day. This is tied in with the assumption that I will only work out 1-3 days a week. Right now I plan on running 3-5 days a week but well see once I start work if that pans out. I have broken my workout plan into 4 goal areas. My first goal will occur on April 7th and that will be to get down to 114 pounds, 2nd goal is May 5th to get down to 110, 3rd goal is June 2nd to get down to 106 and then my final goal--June 9th is to get down to 105. That is 13 weeks of weight loss. We'll see if it happens.
Well I'm off to have my first run in my Hawaiian history. And yes it's at 7am as I have been up since 5:30 this morning. But that's mostly due to the fact that I fell asleep at 6pm last night. Wow I'm lame.

Aloha friends and family,
