In November 2013, I was a size 22/24. With the food plan that the 1 session with a nutrionist and my time in the gym, I am down pant sizes and almost 50 lbs. I have gotten a lot better with junk food, I eat to substain my body, not out of anger, boredom, or depression. I have gotten to where junk food makes me sick, my stomach can't handle it and it's embarrassing. I started teaching again, this time kid's fitness so I go into several preschools/daycares, and teach a new sports activity each week. I found out I have jumper's knee so am getting that taken care of, and being more cautious on stretching out and how I work out. I spend an average of 1-2 hours at the gym a day on top of teaching, and on weekends I love to go hiking. I started running- I HATE RUNNING still, and even joined a Runner's group. I signed up for a bunch of 5k's to race in this summer. I attend Zumba classes along with Spin, will be starting yoga soon as I figure out where on my schedule I can fit it.
It amazes me at the transitions. Yes, there are days where I don't want to workout or just pigging out sounds like fun, but I push through it. Yes, there are days that my best friend would tell you as they got the blunt of my frustration because the scale didn't move or I can't see the changes. Last week- it finally hit me, when I was able to get into Jr. sizes at a local Walmart. I haven't seen a Jr. size since I lost weight the first time. I spent about 10 mins in the dressing room crying like a baby because finally I saw that my hard work is starting to pay off. Then yesterday 3/28/2014, It really hit me, when I was able to shop in the women's clothing at Hot Topic, even at my smallest I wasn't able to get into Hot Topics clothes, and no it was not the XXL either.
My fitness goal is to lose about 54 more lbs for about a total of 106 lbs. I am hoping to have it lost by October. I gave myself of the goal to compete by May 15th to compete in my first fitness competition. When I first started, I was thinking I wanted to be my idol of Anna Nicole Smith's size of when she first started in modeling. I probably forgot to add, I do pinup modeling. She weight 150 when she first started and was a size 12-14. I have now realized I needed to change my goals, to being smaller because I want to be fit not skinny fat. And fitness body type is different than what Anna had.
I really want to thank my best friend for giving me the idea, sticking with me when I am texting them complaining and giving me a kick in the booty when I want to give up.
