Well, it's more like day 1,000,000 but there is always another day 1 when you're trying to get back on track. For the last 4 years (approximately), I gave up dieting and started losing weight. What I mean by this is taking the mean approach to simply eating right and exercising. To date, I have lost 115 lbs. Sounds smooth sailing, right? Ha! Not a chance. I have backtracked, though not to an extent above 10 lbs at any given time, slipped, fallen, gotten frustrated, tried some crazy whacked out fads to quickly get back on track, you name it. But I kept at it. No matter what, I have come to realize that I'm not perfect. I will screw this up from time to time; but, all in all I have lost the weight I wanted to lose, reached a point I never thought I'd be at again, and regained a great amount of confidence. I'm happy, though I want to make sure that I continue to feel good with what I'm doing.
Which brings us to today... My lowest weight since I had gotten "back on track" the last time was 162. This was my weight a mere 2 weeks ago. Today, I weigh in at 168. But I feel like I'm back in the high 170s. My clothes are tight and I'm seeing the pudge on my sides and in front of me getting bigger and making itself more and more visible. To alleviate my pain, I plan on digging out my last weight lifting routine, finding a way to get in 5 days of cardio, 2 days of glutes, 2 days of abs. I also need to readjust my eating plans & do what I know I need to be doing. Most importantly, I have to stick to it. Last year at this time, I started packing on a couple spare lbs. I absolutely refuse to do that this year!
So stick with me as I embark on what is probably my millionth journey on getting and staying in shape. I'll be posting progress, thoughts & feelings, tips & tricks with nutrition & exercise.
Stay tuned!
