Gonna be real with the people who read my blog. I've hit rock bottom with my weight again. I knew it was time to turn things around, but I just lost all motivation. Well, the motivation is back, but I can't really hit it hard due to Dr's orders to not push myself other than on a stationary bike, because of the inflammation in my chest. I'm praying that I can get back on track and drop the weight just by eating better and doing the bike most days until I can really step it up and start running again soon.
I upgraded to a Pro account on the DailyBurn site. I had been using the free version, and some iPhone apps they have for a while, and I was deciding on signing back up on the Biggest Loser account again, but this DailyBurn site is about 1/12th the price, and with the economy and us trying to save money, I went that route. I'm done with this weight. I let myself gain almost all of my weight back, even though I know I gained about 10 lbs of the weight enjoying food and making myself sick of the bad stuff the past couple weeks, since I knew I'd be starting it all back up today.
I told myself in the past that it was okay to enjoy the holiday foods, and it is, but I let myself enjoy them TOO much, and it started my eventual slide back to gaining weight. This year, I am purposely starting my eating healthier during the holidays because I need this change, and this was a sure fire way to test my resolve. I know I have it in me to do this. I just need to use/find some people around me who can support me when I get down, and not turn to all the junk in my house. I want to be a spark for my family again, to start turning to healthier alternatives, and not the junk that we turn to. It will be hardest for me during sporting events, and family gatherings, when the food is just sitting there, or when I normally would turn to food for stuff to pass the time (like during sporting events).
Food is like a drug to me. It's my comfort when all else is going crazy. Unfortunately, it's that way for most of my mother's side of the family as well, so maybe I can inspire others. Who knows. I just know that it's possible, and I want it!
I thought about creating a personal blog to jot this journey down for myself, but I decided not to. If you care to read about this journey, read my entries. If not, skip over them. I'll share my struggles, my triumps, and anything else like I was doing initially a year ago. Thank you all for being there for me.
Here I go again! Thanks for coming along with me on this weight loss journey.

Unfortunately, we are ALL at that age where our bodies are not cooperating anymore!
Hang in there, and don't be surprised if this site doesn't turn into a good outlet for you, and a great means of support in your journey.
Hang in there, cuz. You can do it!
I did the same thing, and have started the diet again. Good luck and I am going to try to get on the wagon too.
