One year ago today I made the decision to fight for myself and my health, both mentally and physically. I’m not sure I really believed I could make it here though. But every day that I stuck to my meal plan, every time that I proved to myself that I could say no, I got a little stronger and believed a little more. After a month I decided I was ready for a gym membership. I remember that first day so clearly, so deeply ashamed that I didn’t look a soul in the eye. I got on treadmill and I did all I could do, about 15 minutes at 2.5mph.
The I went over to the circuit weight machines determined to figure out just three of them. I think I was there 30 minutes that day, but I proved something huge to myself and I was back the next. I’m now in love with lifting and running. I routinely run 3 miles at under a 14 minute mile and hold my head high as I lift weights along side the guys. A year ago I thought I was too far gone, that I was a total lost cause incapable of change.
I don’t even know that girl anymore ❤️ For reference I’m 42 with three kids, and a life time of abusing my body behind me. SW 342 Size 26/5X CW 209 Size 14/L GW 170 for now. Done completely naturally by a combination of clean eating low carb/high protein and calorie deficit. Workouts consist of 4 runs a week and 3 1.5 hour sessions of weights.
