So what better way to help other women by sharing my personal weight loss journey? Quick Story: 3 years ago, I lost 68 lbs via WeightWatchers. But since those 3 years, I've gained all of it back. It's been incredibly fustrating, discouraging, depressing, etc. I know what it takes to lose the weight, I know what it feels like to be fit--I also know what it feels like to gain a lot of weight back, to not feel fit, and to feel out of control.
So here I am today, ready to get back to where I was before. I want to be fit so I can wear the cute clothes I've saved in my closet, to teach BodyAttack without gasping for air, and to feel good about myself once again. I'm doing this for me and no one else.
I'll be giving monthly check-ins on my progress and what I've learned a long the way. My short-term goal is to train to complete the Warrior Dash in May, which will include a 5k obstacle course. I can barely run a mile, so to run three while also jumping over fire, crawling through mud, and climbing a wall seems a bit intimidating to me. My goal is to finish, even if I'm in last place.
I've already lost 7 lbs before this post, but I'm going to use my current weight as a starting point.
Current stats:
- Weight 238.1
- Waist: 48 inches
- Chest: 45 inches
- Hips: 52 inches
- Jean size: 16/18
