WOW! My first blog post. This blog is mainly for me and for me to vent out my frustrations, appreciations, motivations, and successes while on my current weight loss journey. I have been going at this for 16 weeks now, so I am well into my journey at this point. I started on April 3, 2011 and haven't looked back.
A little background....I have known that I have been overweight for some time. Not obese by any means, but definitely overweight for my height. I am 5'3 and weighed in at 165lbs. I was always a yo-yo-dieter. I was the girl that would lose a few pounds with some easy trick then I would gain the weight right back. I don't even really know why I started this weight loss journey. I think it was when my twin brother did INSANITY and I saw his progress and was just floored at what his results were like. I knew that I didn't want to be considered the "fat twin." I had been unhappy about myself for a really long time. So, I asked my husband about Insanity and we ordered it! All I can say is....Shaun T completely changed my life!! No joke! That man means business every time you push the "PLAY" button.
On this journey, I joined myfitness pal and started watching what I ate and went through every excruciating and vigorous workouts. It was tough. I really wished I would have had this blog when I first started, but I started in a good ol'fashioned spiral notebook. I watched every calorie and wrote down every pain and adjustment on my body. It was definitely a struggle. I became obsessed with my scale, the measuring tape and my workout sessions. This was going to be a full lifestyle change and not just some joke of a diet. I doubled up on some days and incorporated a combat kickboxing class. There were days I would have a calorie burn of well over a 1000 calories. Not too shabby for this fat girl!
Anyway, 63 days came and went I finished the program without missing a workout. I was pretty pleased with myself. My husband was right there next to my side the whole time with his strength, love and motivation getting me through it. Even my kiddos stepped up and were great motivators.
So, there it is. Welcome to my blog and my life.
