Moving Forward

This is completely overdue, but I am finally making a plan to get myself into shape. Yesterday I went to the Colvin with Emily and Destinee, and the three of us have created a workout schedule. Even though I have only worked out for two days I already feel a difference in my body and in my mind. I feel much stronger than I have in the past, and I feel that this is a change that I am capable of making. My starting weight is approximately 241 pounds. As terribly high as that number is, it is not the heaviest that I have been. The good news, I suppose, is that I'm 5'10" and I carry my weight well. I don't think that I actually look as heavy as I am, but I am definitely ready to see some smaller numbers on the scale. My main goal is really just to get to a physical and emotional place of healthiness, and to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to gain confidence and feel strong in every aspect of my life.

I'm starting a food and exercise journal (See Gordita Eat. See Guerita Run.) where I plan to post pictures of my progress, as well as track my goals. Please feel free to check it out, share with friends, and let me know about your own weight loss stories!
