Hi, Everyone!
It's been quite an interesting few years for me. In 2012, I embarked on a weight loss journey, and by 2013, I was in the BEST SHAPE of my life. I had been food logging with Daily Burn, and went from 325 down to 180. I was in fantastic shape... and kept it off for 5 years. I ran marathons, finished the Spartan Trifecta, and hit the gym almost every day.
In 2016/2017, I had a relapse. It wasn't a complete and utter relapse, but I put some on the weight I had so painstakingly lost. Food logging was replaced with parenting duties, and the things I had bad habits I had been preaching for 5 years for others to give up, I had started doing again. FOR SHAME!
In April of last year, I appeared on Jeopardy. I was around 40 pounds heavier at that point than I wanted to be, and I'm back here, food logging, to make sure I'm doing the little things right.
I'm also doing something a little different... I'm not stepping on the scale for 6 months. At all. Not because I'm against the scale... it's because the number will have a 2 in the front, and that'll upset me, and possibly derail me.
Anyway, glad to be back! If you're interested in a jeopardy picture, I'll post one in the thread...
