Reality

Well I weighed in today, and I gained back the 2 pounds that I'd lost last week! Ha ha serves me right for eating all that candy and not counting my calories right. So I begin again... 

Starting weight 175.2

Goal weight (for the journey) 150 

In the past, I would've gotten really discouraged by this and probably completely stopped trying to work out or eat healthy, that is one of the biggest parts of this experience-- I'm viewing it as a  journey. Something I need to work towards over a period of time and FINISH! So this weigh-in was just another building block of learning for me to figure out how to get myself healthy and to do it in a realistic way that works in my life. I AM NOT GIVING UP! Instead I choose to learn, grow, and change. 

The good news is I did my two workouts this morning and I feel completely wasted! So here's to a new day!

The Beginning

2 weeks in and I'm making progress!  I decided to start this blog mostly for my benefit of having somewhere to brag and bawl about my fitness journey...and all the things I am learning.  Mostly this blog is about LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF, in all my forms :)  I've been working hard to find my priorities and gain the right perspective to actually stick to my fitness goals for once.  Easter has definitely thrown me off, thanks to all the candy in the house, but I was making progress and I do still feel very motivated in moving forward...so it begins!  The journey to love me, and to find joy in the ride! Ready, Set, Go!
