Only 13 more pounds to reach my goal for this round. This morning I weighed 183.2, my newest low! I really can't remember how many years it's been since I weighed that. For a lot of years I didn't ever weigh myself. In Dec. 2000 when Ross and I started dating, I believe I weighed around 150 or so. Over the 4 1/2 years we dated I had worked my way up to 186 when we married in 2005. My weight continued to climb over the years. Lack of exercise, stress eating and overeating the wrong foods being the leading culprits. Oh, and three pregnancies, or 2 1/3 rather.
It's still a struggle and takes making the right choices every day. I want to be healthy, fit and able to keep up with my kids. I want to be able to walk into any store and find something that fits me, not from the plus size section. On a more personal level, when Ross and I both did the diet, it made our intimate relationship better. It's amazing how much better we fit with each other when there wasn't an extra 85lbs. between us!
I am a little sore after my 5K workout yesterday, my right hip is really bothering me. I'm going to push through and see how it does over the next few weeks. I might be going to the chiropractor to see if he can do anything with it. I've never done running of any kind, I'm sure my body is going to revolt a bit at first.
Hope all of you who are watching their diets, exercising, or whatever you are trying to improve on, are having a good week. Stay strong! 2013 is our year to be fit, trim, healthy and happier!
