So not quite a creative title huh? Who knew starting a blog about losing weight would become such a difficult task to do.... I have sat and started at the computer for almost a month now trying to find the courage to write the simplest words like "weight loss" and fat. Now I am not sure whether anyone will actually read this and perhaps I am oddly okay with that but I needed some motivation for myself to keep up with losing weight. I did the normal things like setting a goal, changing my diet, logging my calories and working out, although I have not been very strict about them. I am hoping by writing them out here will push me to continue on this weight loss journey.
I have never been small, but I never really considered myself fat until about 2 years ago. I knew I was bigger than everyone else and I tried to convince myself over the years that it was okay. I have started though now looking in the mirror and being disgusted with what I see, I no longer see anything but a pretty face. I just turned 25 and after seeing the family Christmas pictures, I knew this year was my year for change. So today marks the first day in my journey, my ode to you blog is to update at least 3 times a week with pictures and a log of my work out/weight loss progress. Here goes nothing, I am ready to say goodbye to being the fat sister and train myself to complete a 5k with my sister this summer.
Weighted in at: 232 lbs {ouch}
Workout: Trained with C25K {my new favorite app on my IPhone} completed 2 miles {combination of brisk walking and running for 30 minutes} burned 200 calories. Overall felt pretty good after working out
Next goal: Get up at 8am Thursday and continue C25K workout before work.
