So it has been a bit over 3 years since I reached 223.8 pounds. How has it gone since then? So, sooooo horribly wrong. Since my last blog about my weight at 235.4 pounds, I spent about one year focused on maintaining my weight, followed by 2 years of giving up completely. The results are bad. I mean, I have always known, logically, that I can loose weight. But there is a huge difference between knowing you can and believing you will. And for a solid two years I just didn't believe and didn't want to go through the effort for nothing. So here is the confession about just how bad it is. I've been eating fast food anywhere from 4-12 times a week. Trips to the gym have been few, far between, and not nearly as hardcore as I used to be. And the current weight... 291.
Recently it seems like everyone I know has lost weight and I'm the only one gaining. Something in that finally knocked some sense into me. So, starting the Sunday before last, I swore off fast food with 2 exceptions: bagel with cream cheese if I'm running late for work and chic-fil-a chargrilled sandwich w/o fries (something I always allowed myself on my last sucessful diet). And so far so good. Of course there are more changes that need to be made and I am phasing them in. Today started the exercise routine. I finally went to the rec center and actually worked HARD. I have nothing going on really this weekend so I plan to be in the gym the next three days. I've always been in good shape for my size until now. Now my fitness level reflects my size so I've got to bust my ass until I'm fit again (well... til then and beyond really).
Goals:
First weight milestone: 262 lbs (10% off my current weight)
First excersize milestone: 4 miles in 40 minutes
End weight goal: 180 lbs
End exercise goal: run at least one mile without stopping
so it starts... again
