Tired of starting over...

No one ever starts their weight loss journey with the intention of quitting. Your heart is in the right place, but your MIND has to be in it as well. I don't like being overweight... No one does, but in order to be successful, you need to be 110% committed to a total lifestyle change. Which apparently in my past attempts, was very clear that wasn't the case. A couple weeks ago I got on the scale and saw a number I never thought I'd see. My first thought was HOW did I let this happen? My second thought was "I need to make a change, and I need to make it NOW." Not next week, not Monday, not tomorrow... Right-effing-now.

I didn't cry, I didn't beat myself up, I didn't throw a fit. I simply knew I'd let my weight go, and that if I wanted to drop the weight it was going to take a serious commitment. A commitment I wasn't willing to make in the past.

I just turned 29 and have been overweight for the majority of my 20's, gaining the most weight over the past few years. I lost 30lbs in the first half of 2012 for my June wedding, then gained it back. I lost 35lbs in the first few months of 2013, then gained it back plus some. It's been a vicious cycle and I'm ready to stop. I have a plan, I have 3 mini-goals, and an overall goal. I know in my mind what I want, how to achieve it, and have been taking action.

I'm putting my health & wellness first. Getting fit is at the top of my to-do list. Take this journey with me, I hope I can inspire you too!
