My body MUST match my aura

LAPETITERUSE

Hi everyone - I've finally come to the realization that I can't be a social butterfly and keep my weightloss effort my priority. I'm not equipped to keep them both priorities. I have to choose. And so, I've chosen weightloss over social butterfly-ism. That's the only way I can stay committed to going to the gym and not be tempted to have 3 margaritas at happy hour. :drinker: I just have to say no and stick to my appointments with myself at the gym/track.

My profile tells my whole weight gain story - but basically - sluggish thryoid led to me plus 70 pounds in a short period of time and I've been that way ever since - even after figuring out the trigger to the sluggish thyroid. Now I have to do the work to get back to my "normal" size. I'm not so much interested in my weight as I am in my body fat %. My goal is to get back to between 22-25% body fat. I miss my four-pack abs :sad:

So anyway - hello to everyone and I look forward to learning tips and staying sane through this journey....

Captiain with a diet coke is very low cal...That is what I have to tell myself to make it through. I have to have my beer/wine/captain or I would go crazy. :explode: I already gave up crappy food and cigarettes...sheesh, I gotta have something.
But I agree, you gotta keep those gym dates. Lifting your hand to your face doesn't really count as cardio.
