With one of my best friend's wedding looming in the beginning of 2O17 in Mexico, I decided I had some weight loss and toning up to do. Over the last eight months I have lost about thirty pounds of the seventy pounds I hoped to lose in a year's time. This was a great accomplishment thus far and I am proud with how far I have come in my weight loss journey. Aside from the fact that I have lost almost half the amount of weight I projected to lose in a year's time, my weight loss has seemed to slow down significantly since hitting about six months in, and I think I know why.
The first few months I was super dedicated to eating clean and working out constantly then I started to slip up here and there which I believe slowed down the amount of weight I was losing per week. Till this day (and over the last eight months), I have eaten pretty clean during the day for the most part including breakfast, lunch, and snacks. However in the beginning of my journey, eating clean was a lot less of a challenge and in the recent months I have found that eating healthy when I get home from work in the evening as well as on the weekends has been more of a challenge than I would like to admit. As well as, after suffering from an unfortunate lower back strain, my fitness has been less than great recently which has really made my weight loss journey suffer even more.
I am hoping from posting my weight loss journey, my ups and downs, my struggles and successes, and my real take on how it feels to try to become a healthier version of myself failures and all, that this will help me to meet my goals as well as, helping anyone else who is struggling to become a healthier or better version of themselves. And just maybe we can share tips, tricks, and support for each other along the way. This is all about keeping myself accountable to my actions and keeping things real because when it comes down to it, this has to be a lifestyle. Fads don't last and results are best attained when you are kept accountable so here is my first step in trying to create a better and more healthy life for myself.
God bless!
