Weight Loss

Hey!
So if you read the post directly below this post you will see my new year’s resolution for 2010. (That truly proves how often I update this blog  lol) Just like years prior, I didn’t stick to them….

Every year I think that this is the year I’ll get my butt in gear and lose the extra weight. The year starts out so well and then week by week I slip up until I’m back to my old routine.

It wasn’t until a little more than a month ago that I decided that I have to do this, I want to do this, and I will do this.

This winter was especially bad for my state. We have never seen this much snow. I was out of school for a whole week (my university has never had to close for a week before). I ate a lot, mainly because I was bored and I couldn’t get out and do any sort of physical activity. I was at my highest weight, and then I gained about 3 to 4 more pounds due to the extreme winter. I started to notice weight gain in my stomach and some of my pants becoming a little tight. I generally avoid the scale, but I knew I had gained more weight, and I had to know just how much…

213 pounds. I was devastated by this number. I was never happy with my weight, but I tended to ignore it as long as the number didn’t go up or I didn’t notice any weight gain. Seeing that number was the motivation I needed lose weight.

For the last month and a couple weeks I have been writing down everything I eat. (I use a website to do this – caloriecount.com) I bought a food scale and have been measuring my portions. I have also been exercising as often as I can, and just being all around more active.

As of 4/19/10 I weigh 202 pounds. I am so proud of myself.
*Look out for more post about my battle with the bludge.*
