It has been quite some time since I last wrote.
A lot has happened. To sum it all up: I live in Missouri now, I found
true love, and I found some pounds to go with it.
2013 was quite a year, and 2014 has started off quite
interesting as well. My boyfriend and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary.
My dad was hospitalized for congestive heart failure. A week ago today I had a
car wreck and hit a tree.
I’ve been up and down emotionally, and old habits die hard
so you can guess how I’ve coped: eating. I am just 5 pounds from getting up to
200 pounds again. I am still that fat girl, who thinks about what I’m going to
have for dinner, when I’ve barely finished my breakfast. My boyfriend lost 40
pounds in a 13 week period on P90x, but due to some stress and changes in his
life, he has also gained weight back.
How am I going to get back to that confident, sassy, and
motivational fireball again? Well, at my job we are doing our own version of The
Biggest Loser. Each week we will weigh in and the person with the highest
percentage of fat lost will win $12. At the end of the 10 weeks, the biggest
loser will get $120. I had to put in $16 to enter the contest and I am
determined to get that back and then some. I know that this week I will have a
gain, because it has been a fast food free-for-all for me. Next week, however,
watch out! I will start back on Focus T25, a Beach Body program started by
Shawn T. I consider it to be a stepping stone to finally have a healthy
lifestyle. Don’t worry. I am still bound and determined to be a Zumba
instructor. Those of you that have read my blogs know I have wanted to do that
for a long time.
This is the year folks. I am kicking ass and taking initials
because I have no time to take names! Stay tuned!
