I am so happy to be starting a lifestyle change. I am starting OVER! I was so stressed from losing my job and trying to get my blog the way I wanted it to look that I started eating so terrible. I jumped on the scale and pretty much cried at the number I saw. I was 266 lbs! This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am totally serious that weight is something I have struggled with ever since I hit middle school. I wanted to give up. I had been eating tons of fast food and snacking like crazy. When I am stressed, I eat. I really had to stop this and just start over. Even though I am on week 15, I am really back starting at week 1. It is beyond time that I tell myself I AM WORTH IT and I WILL DO THIS!
I am giving myself 1 year! 1 year to live the healthy lifestyle I want. I can do this and I am taking it day by day. I cut out unnecessary sugar, carbs, and drinks. I will treat myself every once in a while. However, I am staying far away from fast food. I have to make these changes for my health. My weight is definitely taking a toll on my body. I can do this and I WILL DO THIS!
I have started writing down everything I eat in a journal. I am also adding the food I eat into My Fitness Pal so I can watch the calories. I have been doing pretty well with this method. It is crazy to see how many calories are in the food that I consume. I will keep account of all my ups and downs just like I normally do. However, my attitude is changed now. I am giving myself 1 year! I refuse to fail!
I did well with my fitness goals. I accomplished all my fitness goals. It feels so great to be moving again. I can't wait to feel my body become even stronger. However, I need to up the intensity of my workouts.
