For years I've dealt with weight and health issues. I was one who ignored it and just went on with life, which dug the hole deeper. I wanted to fix it, I wanted to be healthy and feel good, but, I didn't know where to start and the task was daunting. Would people still judge me? Would it even make a difference? The questions went on and on. Finally, this January, I was absolutely fed up. I didn't sleep well, I was always tired, and I was WAY out of shape. Something had to be done and I sought out solutions. I started eating better and working out, which led to some nice results. Never in my life did I think I'd actually ENJOY workouts. I'd lost about 25 lbs or so (I kept fluctuating) and thought nothing could stop me. As work and life got more stressful, I started falling off my own wagon and started making poor eating choices and skipped workouts. I now sit here thinking, "What happened to that passion?". I want to regain that passion and find peace with myself. I want to love every inch of this body because it's capable of amazing things. Most days I beat myself because I know I can do better, but I try to remind myself that this is a journey. It's going to be one of the hardest ones I'll take.
I'll be tracking my progress here, as well as meals, recipes, workouts, and self love inspiration.
