here i am, ready to share my weight loss journey with the world. why? because i think it’ll help keep me accountable. a little public shaming never hurt, right?
i’m using the following methods to reach my goals (which we’ll get to in a minute):
*weight watchers online tools-food tracking helps shape my day! i eat a lot of produce, and i try to drink a lot of water. i own a bakery, so i try really hard to not snack at work. it’s a challenge.
*personal training-after a few years of lazily using the elliptical machine, i’ve stepped up my game. in september this year, i started seeing a trainer a few times a month. whoa, what a difference! i now lift weights, swing ropes, do circuit training, and most importantly, i
*RUN!-running is my new passion. it makes my body feel strong and tight, even if i still have a considerable amount of junk in my trunk. i do the best i can and i can feel myself getting better everyday.
*quieting the voices-i’m trying to lose weight and get in shape without making myself insane. why stress about the little ups and downs of the scale, when it’s the long term i want to think about?
GOALS:
2 years ago, i weighed the most i have ever weighed, 225lb. i am 5’6” and i felt like crap all the time. i joined weight watchers and got myself to 202lb. since then, i tend to be within +/- 5lbs of that. it’s super frustrating.
my end goal is to get to 150lb., but i don’t care if it takes another 2 years. this is my life and i want to learn new skills and pick up healthy habits along the way.
i’ll be posting weekly updates here, see you at the finish line!
