Today I hit my first goal!!!!

Options
Well... Today was the my first goal I have hit since I started eating clean and exercising on a consistant regular basis.

I start this new life journey January 15, 2011 at a WHOPPING 350 pounds. Yep... I said it. I have never EVER been this heavy. I'm not even sure where it came from. :S I must say I owe this forever new life to my Mother, who heard about this new program on the radio and signed my Father and I along with herself up for this. Unwillingly, I went with her. It was a gym member ship :S a personal nurtrionist and self help group...

I felt sick to my stomach the first day. I remember that day well actually. I sat in my truck and waited and waited for my parents to get there. I remember texting Paul (my husband) saying how sick I felt and how there were so many beautiful people running on the tredmills etc. I was sooooo nervious. So finally they came and I went in with them. I think I was the biggest person in the gym. What a great feeling.... NOT! Anyway I did it.. the first work out of my life... and I didn't die. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited that I phoned my best girlfriend ever (who has lost about 100 lbs on her own... kodo's to miss Emily) and I cried... I cried on the way home.. I told her I couldn't believe it.. I did it..

So that's how it started.. I still have hesitations walking into the gym on my own. But I go. and I do it. I might still sit in my car and wait a miniute, but I do go in. Thanks to eating wonderfully and the guys at Island Fitlife. I have lost a whopping 51.2 pounds as of this morning... BYE BYE 300's I wish I could say it was nice knowing you.. But i'm super thankful I will never and yes I meant NEVER see you again. There is a fit beautiful girl in this fat suit just screaming to come out. I can't wait to meet her. Next goal isn't that far off at 270 by my birthday. I know I can do it. I know we all can do it. Just 10 lbs at a time. Remember to breath, day after day comes that turns into weeks as it always does... So why not be healthy and live each day to the fullest ;) (in a healthy way)

    Kongratulation kshepherds!!!

    A well deserved and well earned VICTORY! Happy early Birthday!!! when is yours? (mine is on the 14th so happy early b-day to me too LOL).

    You've been at this twice as long as I have and lost twice as much. I began 9 weeks ago and have shed 27.5 lbs, 2% body fat and 5.5 inches off my waist. In other words, you give me hope to keep going.

    Thank you.
