Weekly Weigh-In

I am going to start documenting my weekly progress with my weight loss journey. Since January I have been working on changing my lifestyle into a more healthy and well balanced one. I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy and I just wasn't at a healthy place in my life in general. I hired a trainer, got myself a gym membership, and began working hard. I started out at 280 pounds and I was doing really well up until this past month. Let's just say I fell off the weight loss wagon, so to speak. I began binge eating on foods that I know are not good for me and my body and I got really lazy with going to the gym. I know better and I have been feeling very guilty about it, especially because I have worked so hard to change for the better, yet it was so easy for those old habits to come back.

Today I faced the music and met with my personal trainer to face the music. I had not had a session with her in about 2 1/2 weeks, so I explained everything to her and we had a talk. She was very understanding and said that backslides do happen, but the important thing is to learn from them and just keep moving forward. I am going to take her advice and not let this setback determine the rest of my journey. I have worked too hard and too long to just give up. This is a lifelong marathon I'm in, not a short term sprint.

Okay, so here are my stats:

Beginning Weight: 280
Current Weight: 266

At the beginning of the month, I was 254 and my 1st short-term goal is to get under 250. I am already making the necessary steps to get back on the wagon. I am journaling all food I eat and am back on my regular exercise regime. I'm ready to do this!
