Or fall up? Since I last posted... wow. Yeah, I've gained a little over 10 pounds. Not good. So, I've decided to start this blog back up again, because I definitely do benefit from the motivation and encouragement from the readers of this blog! I also need accountability, which can be gained both through my readers, and from the desire to update this blog on a regular basis! I will be using Weight Watchers as the main part of my weight loss strategy, but because I'm often lazy, I will just be trying to eat healthier in general too.
I've often gotten the question "How are you so open with how much you weigh?" My answer? Why should I hide it?! Yes, I base my weight loss more on number and less on how I feel. However, I'm fairly confident in myself, and as I lose weight, I gain confidence. And my confidence is more important than how a number describes me.
The biggest issue I need to tackle this time are my eating habits. I LOVE working out. I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with the fact that I like to eat. I like to eat good food. I like to eat lots of food. I like to eat out. And this is why I struggle with losing weight and keeping it off. So, my first goal (to be achieved when I get back to Atlanta, because its hard to not eat out when I'm going out with my awesome friends in Columbus), is to eat out less. Like, once or twice a week. I need to make healthier choices, and cook for myself more often. So, once again, I will start posting recipes that I'm trying on here.
I hope that, through this blog, I can also motivate others to be healthier too, to achieve their weight loss goals, to look better, etc. If there is anything you would like me to focus on, or any way I can help you, please let me know! I am open to all suggestions!
