In July of 2010, I weighed in at a whopping 272 lbs. I started school full time & was working 20 hours a week. Life was pretty busy, but I let myself get enthralled in working out & calorie counting. By May of 2011, I had lost 46 lbs. That was the greatest & healthiest that I had ever felt. I was feeling less self-conscious & more like...Me. I hadn't felt that for a long time. I weighed 226 lbs. I was so close to the "teens" I could taste it. I went from wearing a 22 to a 16. I could run for more than 20 minutes straight, pump more weights than I ever thought I could & I was actually seeing muscle tone in my arms & shoulders. The most prominent difference was how thin my face was. Holy crap! I could see my jaw! I can't even begin to say how great I felt.. AMAZING..
& Then I got married, got caught up in cooking good, semi-healthy food, & lost all of the time that I had for myself. I no longer had the time to cook healthy, low-calorie food. I no longer had the time to spend 2 hours at the gym at least 5 times a week.
Nearly 6 months into my my marriage & I've gained almost 20 lbs. YIKES!
& So, Today it begins. Calorie Count Round Two. With my trusty MyFitnessPal app at my side, I can do anything.
My weight today: 244.3 lbs
My goal: to weigh less than 190 lbs by February 24, 2013
This blog is my weekly reminder that I'm doing this not only for me, but for my readers, if there are any. This year is going to be a year of change. Incredible, life-lasting change!
Welcome to my journey.
