I'm not sure if its the flu or what but I have been sick since this weekend. Went into work on Monday and barely lasted the day. I came home, crawled into bed, and have been there ever since. I can't miss anymore work so I am up right now and "thinking" myself well. So far its not working too well but I seriously cannot afford to be sick.
I don't know about you guys but when I am sick I think...a lot. I remember getting super sick April 2009. I cried on the couch because I was so fed up with feeling sick and being 50+ pounds overweight. I got my laptop and searched "free weight loss programs" and SparkPeople popped up. I joined immediately and never looked back. By July 2010 I hit my goal and was 130lbs. It was such an incredible feeling but I did not lose the weight the way you would think. I went through a horrible "life change" and pretty much starved myself thin. I wasn't fit at all. I was skinny fat.
Over the next year I would turn my life around and with my happiness came the weight gain. I quickly got on a plan to lose the 20 "happy" pounds I'd gained and was starting to lose when I had to stop for my surgery. That was August 2013. Since then I've gained 30 more pounds and hit 171 last week. My "fat" pants are tight and I refuse to go shopping. My first New Years Resolution is to get back to the 130's and today I am starting my journey to that goal.
My girl Flavia is doing another challenge that started on Monday and I just signed up!
Here are some pics I took last month after my only workout in December. AND I've gained 6 pounds since then! :(
Taking my measurements earlier was SO hard! I've stepped on the scale a few times since my surgery but I've never taken measurements. Man I have gained so much! My body fat is up 5% and I've gained almost 10 inches all over my body. It makes me sick but hey-it is what it is right? I am still recovering from major surgery so I'm not going to be too hard on myself.
As far as eats I am really trying to find quick and easy. My goal is to get more whole foods into my diet and find healthy, quick, and easy meals that I can make for the family. This time instead of doing this challenge on my own I am going to include not only my family but the Flavilicious forums. I can't do this alone.
It's time for action baby! No excuses!
