Getting healthy one day at a time!
 

Hello everyone! Several years ago I was an active member here and was well on my way to success. honestly, I let other stuff get in the way of my own goals. I fell off the wagon, gained back all I'd lost, plus more.

Today is December 26, 2013. I'm setting a goal for myself today. I want to be out of the 200's by Christmas 2014. Sure it won't be easy but it is doable. Nothing that's worthwhile is ever truly easy, right?

I am currently at my highest weight ever. 290.6 is a disturbing number for me. I've never gotten on the scale and seen 290 before. I am 10 pounds away from the dreaded 300. How insane! It's time to grab the bull by the horns and do something about it.

My husband also wants to lose weight and get healthy. He's at his highest weight of 285 right now. We want to go to Disney World and ride all of the roller coasters and have a good time and we both know there's no way we can at these weights. We don't want to be the fat parents who sit on the sidelines while their kids have fun. We want to have fun with them. I also want to set a good example for my oldest daughter. She's 10 and weights over 100 pounds already. She's going down the same road I've traveled and I don't want that for her. She needs to see mom as a good example and follow that instead. My youngest has dropped comments about my large stomach as well and I don't want her to see that when she looks at me.

It's time. I'm not waiting until January 1. Today's the day. I am joining a gym today and will get this darned weight off me! Even if I have to take it day by day, I will make this work. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. A journey of 155 pounds lost also begins with a single calorie burned.

Hold on for the ride cause here I go!

:carrot:
