I was driving to work today and I thought I should share my weight loss journey from the beginning because you see, it started two years ago. Here are some pictures of me 20 pounds below my heaviest (260). OMG look at my chubbo face - just makes me cringe!
I wanted to get to 140 two years ago and I got to 182. Here is my skinny photo:
If I had stayed at 182 I think I could have been happy (at least for a while) because I felt great and honestly, it wasn't too hard to stay at that weight because of the exercise. Well, I ended up injuring my Achilles tendons - both of them! So, I took some time off running and did Farrell's extreme body shaping. Week 8 I injured my back and honestly, every.single.night I was in terrible pain in my joints. I worked my butt off in class and felt good until it was time to sleep and the pain would wake me up. Being fit includes pain but not like that. I had to quit the program and tried to go back to running but couldn't. My tendons needed a rest which led me to having last year off for the most part from physical exercise. Could I have gone to the gym and done some elliptical work or toning work - absolutely but I got lazy. So, here I am again trying to pick up the pieces.
