Well, I gave into old man winter and I'm back....Heavier but I'm back. We had one of the worst winters that I can remember but that's not an excuse. I have THE BEST exercise videos at home and I did none of them. That's right...none.
My eating was bad but not as horrible as it was before. Still not good though. So, I recommitted and I'm here to tell my story and to be accountable again.
I started here about 2-3 years ago at over 300 pounds and in a size 22-24 and a 26 or two. I got down to 179-185 and was in a size 10-12. WELL, I haven't weighed (if you remember me, I don't believe in scales. I know my weights only because I had to go to the doctor). I'm now a 12-14 and I'm seeing the fat me start to re-emerge. I still can fit most of my 12 pants and my 14 pants are generally to loose but my 10 pants are OUT of the question.
The problem is my old habits are creeping back. No exercise, constant carb fests, diet soda and no water (I went about 4-5 days without one glass of water). Pizza, cake, the works.....And I FEEL IT!
So, I'm going back to what helped me the last time and here are my goals....
1) I will stop all the diet soda (no more than 1-2 a week) and I will FORCE MYSELF to drink water.
2 I will go back to my weight lifting class. I'm not into a certain body image but I liked the way my clothes looked when I was weight lifting.
3) I will start running again. Before I dropped out, I ran 13.1 miles and was doing a 8-10 mile run at least once a week. I haven't run in MONTHS and barely got through my 2 mile run on Tuesday. Oh well, 5k planned for Saturday and quitting is not an option.
4) I will go back to veggies and fruits and stay away from my 3 food groups- crackers, breads and pancakes...wait those are all the same thing.
5) I will post here and stay encouraged by the progress stories. I'll join a challenge or two...Sarge are you still here?
6) I WILL NOT GO BACK TO 300 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a cruise to Mexico in November and I am not packing the fat clothes
Whew, that feels better.
