December 2008 was the beginning of my first breaking point. My husband and I took up ballroom dance classes. I was out of breath and trying to breathe! It was difficult for me to keep up. I was out of shape and I felt miserable. I wasn't as serious about losing weight at that time, but I was getting to my breaking point to where enough was enough.
So, when I hit my highest weight of 276 pounds in January '09, I'm like okay, I'm unhappy, unhealthy, and I hate how I look like, all fat!! It's time for a change...
Well, I just did it! I wanted to make a lifestyle change.
My husband loves me for who I am, but I'm doing this for me!
It'll be a plus for him though :D
I've made a commitment to my body, to my future, and to my life.
Why I Love It:
Working out makes me feel better and feels like I'm accomplishing something.
It's my stress reliever!!! :D
The gym is my addiction!
How I Stay Motivated:
Motivation...I GOTS THIS!!! LOL
Imagining me being fit, happy, healthy, and wearing that Army uniform :D
People working out around me, and seeing them accomplish what they want.
"The Biggest Loser" the people on that show are awesome!!
Put on my determined face, focus on what I'm doing, and I push myself!
