I haven't been on here in over a year. A lot has happened in the past year! My husband and I moved into a new apartment, I got another new vet job, Cody became a truck driver, we got a dog, and now I am about to graduate from nursing school!!!
I have been very OFF track when it comes to weight loss. I have actually gained weight. As of Sunday I weighed in at an embarrassing 200.1. On the bright side, I weighed in at a gym that I just joined. I have worked out everyday this week ranging from yoga/Pilates mixed classes, cardio, and weights! I feel great. I weighed yesterday (Wednesday) and have already lost a pound! I'm currently consuming 1200 calories. When I work out I consume more calories to replace the ones I lost. I don't want my body to go into starvation mode...which in turn would store fat. But it all equals out to a nice 1200 cals. I'm not eating anything really special. I'll eat a few carbs before a cardio workout or a protein shake after a workout with weights. It all just depends on what workout I have scheduled for the day. I've cut out cokes completely. I've noticed I don't feel so bloated!
I'll put a picture of my new starting point below. I can't wait until I can post the photos that will one day say "after". My goal is to weigh 145. That would be a 55 pound weight loss! It's definitely attainable, but it is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication. I know I'm ready this time, and I have a great support system cheering me on!
