Just Keep Swimming



For a month now I have changed my eating habits and my fitness routine. I have really have worked out more frequently and added intensity. My starting weight was 254. Yes, I am confessing my true weight. But now, 4 weeks later, I am down to 237. I still have a way to go, but I am closer than when I started. What changed for me this time? What was it that has caused me to stick to such a lifestyle change? I wanted it bad enough for myself. I am not doing this to make any one other than me happy. Well, that is a lie. I am doing this because I want to be a role model for my girls. My husband and I have twin toddlers. I want them to see that fitness is a way of life. I am excited about my nearly 20lb weight loss. That is encouraging! I hit some walls. Days I was too tired for working out. Days where cravings made me want to squeeze myself into the vending machine for just one morsel of chocolate. Everyone has a moment where they just want to let themselves go. It is getting back in and continuing to go forward that is what's important.
