Back again...
Hi ladies!
So, once upon a time I made a commitment to myself to get healthy. I started running, tracked all of my food, and lost 60 pounds over the course of about half a year, more than halfway to my goal weight.
AND THEN....
Ya know, life happened. I fell in love. Got promoted. Graduated college. Got a new job. Moved in with my significant other. Got two more promotions and started drowning in work. Got engaged. AND THROUGHOUT IT ALL GAINED BACK SEVENTY POUNDS. Sigh.
So, here I am again. Only this time, I've done it all before so I know that it's possible.
I started making small eating changes last fall and dropped ten pounds. Then Feb 1 I made the next big change which was fully tracking ALL of my food and sticking to a pretty reasonable goal. I hit a plateau ridiculously quickly, after losing only five more pounds. Then last Monday, April 6, I added back in the one thing I have been dreading - exercise.
And here we are! I'm back, sticking with it. I think I just needed to figure out where good eating and working out could fit into my new life/schedule. Every day is getting easier, as you'd expect.
Nice to meet you!
