My Health Journey

I will be starting back at the gym this coming Tuesday. My schedule will be Tues-Fri at the gym and Sunday outdoor/home exercise.

A promise to myself!

Today (1/2/13) - 258.8 lbs

SW (June 2011) - 265.8

At least I didn’t gain it ALL back. My lowest weight on this journey has been 230 and that was last May. :-/

I’m back on My Fitness Pal fully and I’m ready to make 2013 my bitch.

First goal weight is 245. See you there!

New Years resolutions are good and stuff, but this is a lifestyle change. <3

Banana and oatmeal for breakfast. Yum!

Healthy life is going well! Already lost a few lbs this week and feeling fresh. Now tmrw I’ll be doing my TJ’s grocery shopping for lots of lean protein, fruits and veggies. Yerm!

It’s been a couple of months since I have weighed myself. It’s been over a month since I went to the gym. And it was late may since the last time I was eating healthy seriously and consistently. My biggest fear getting back on track was that I would weigh more than when I started last June. That weight was 266lbs (yikes!) and on this entire journey my lowest weight has 232lbs. I worked hard for those 34lbs. I used My Fitness Pal and worked out 4-5 times a week. There were many reasons why I fell off the wagon and lost control over my diet/exercise plan, but really it was just a matter of self-control and choosing the easy route. Every day I thought about getting healthy, losing weight, and getting fit, but 90% of the time I would choose not to really do anything about it. I enjoyed food; I relaxed on my couch; and I avoided simple acts of exercise. This confession is a rebirth. I admit I didn’t do what was best for me and my body, and I take full responsibility for it. I’m ready to do this. I’m ready to confront the bumps in the road and overcome the obstacles of self-control. It all starts today and the first step is to weigh-in again and share it with the world. So here we go:

Today’s weight (Nov 14, 2012): 256lbs

Highest weight (June 2011): 266lbs

First goal weight (Dec 14, 2012): 245lbs

Ultimate goal weight: 150lbs

Btw, I’m 5’5”

So here’s to new beginnings and being a warrior against the habits and comforts that got me in this situation. I am strong and I can do this.

XOXO

I’m weighing in on Wed and I’m really dreading it. I’m worried I’ve gained back all of the 30 lbs I had worked so hard to take off over the last year… But I have to do this and restart. I can’t give up and I know I never will.

Eek! I’m nervous, but I have to do it!
