I have been climbing back on the bandwagon little by little. My journey has been long and I can taste success; it's so close. At my worst, I was at 227. I'm only 5'2", so that is a lot for a tiny girl as short as me. When the pain in my abdomen forced me to go to the doctor's office, I found that I was morbidly obese with liver failure and growing kidney stones. I was told that I had to lose the weight or have my gallbladder taken out sooner or later. The fear of being cut open motivated me to lose weight and I dropped to 147 in a year and half or so. My goal is to reach 127 and say that I lost 100 pounds.
Sadly, I started to gain a few pounds back, and I went up to 165. I can blame personal reasons, but that's not the point. The point is I caught myself slipping and am finding my way back in the game. I started using the food journal in the summer. That helped me realize in which ways I was overeating. After that I read my favor nutrition book. Then I started working out again. I ran 2 half marathons this year and few shorter races, but then my body gave out and I went on a 13 week runners strike. I finally snapped out of it, thankfully. I'm also waking up early to do those cool 8 minute videos from the the 90's. I found in the past that doing some strength training in the morning boosts your metabolism and helps you with weight loss. Right now I'm trying to watch what I eat: I'm eating balanced meals with carbs, protein and veggies/fruits, staying away from junk food and eating less calories a day. For the past 3 days I've eaten 1580-1620 calories. That's much better than the 2450 I found I was consuming when I fell off the bandwagon!
I've lost 4 pounds already. I'd love to get to 127 and say that I lost 100 pounds! I will, hopefully this year. I at the very least want to get back to the 140's by the end of the year. :)
