My Healthy Journey - the ups, the downs and living the lifestyle!
My Health Journey started in July 2016 when I had just had enough. Over the years I had gained weight, 10 pounds here and 5 pounds there. In July I weighed 250lb, around what I was when I had my first baby. Over the last 14 years I was up and down between 210lbs and 230lbs. The jump to 250 happened over the winter of 2016 and I could feel it.
My first steps to take were small, changing little things here and there. Each week I feel better, the weight is slowly coming off, which is how I want it. It took a long time to gain, so I am not expecting an overnight weight loss. I am using no gimmicks, eating real food, drinking lots of water and trying to add more exercise to my life.
Through sharing this journey I am hoping to accomplish two things:
- I hope through reading my blog, this inspires even one person to make positive healthy changes for themselves.
- By sharing publicly what I am doing, I feel more accountable to myself to continue and move toward my goal.
