Welcome to my journey

Good Morning!
Welcome to the day I have decided to change my future.....AGAIN! Yup that is right I started this journey 2 years ago May 2010 and met my first goal by August of 2011.

On the left is me August 2010 at my favorite party of the year Jake the Alligatorman weighing in at 250lbs (yes really that is the truth!)! On the right is me a year later August 2011 at the same event at 199lbs! My first goal was to get HEALTHY and I wanted to be UNDER 200lbs.

I worked hard by going to an awesome work out class twice a week and then on and off doing another day of personal training. Working out for three hours a week and trying to eat a more balance of food that are good for me and not pigging out on my favorites like chips and dip and good ole Code Red Mt. Dew! I felt so much better everyday and my depression was in check having very few down days.

Well then I had a few medical issues and personal issues that kind of put my fitness at a halt, my depression came back full force and I lost my motivation. I quickly regained alot of the weight back, lost the muscle I gained and the endurance I had also gained from my year of constant physical activity (working out).

Saddly I don't have a regular pic of how I look right now....but my next blog post you will see!
So today is the day I will change my mind set and how I go about my day. I will be using this blog as my accountability! This is be my fitness/ health journal, I promise to be very honest about my journey and posting pics along the way. This is the only way I know how to get myself back on track and maybe it will help others...I don't know. All I know is that I want to be ME again, I want to be happy, healthy and able to keep up with the loves of my life and my whole reason for living.....MY FAMILY! I deserve it and so do they!
