In 2007, I weighed over 300 lbs. I looked and felt like utter crap. For my birthday that year, my mom bought me a package of sessions with her personal trainer... and my life was transformed. Over the next 2 years, I lost over 100 lbs, became strong and fit, and really felt good about my body for the first time maybe ever.
Then, I got pregnant :) An unexpected miracle, and probably having a lot to do with my body getting healthier, but having a baby did derail my commitment to fitness. I haven't gained back the weight I lost, but I haven't gotten to my goal, either. Plus, I no longer have the strength, the feeling of having a fit and powerful body, that I once had. I know I can get back to that place, and finally meet my goals, but it will take time and commitment.
I need to lose at least 60 more lbs. To do this, I want to commit to 30 mins of cardio daily, and strength training 2-3 days per week. I have a gym membership card and a Wii Fit, both of which have been gathering dust. I need to make use of them both. I know I can achieve my goals if I put in the time.
