EThis note comes timely because of a decision I made this week. I decided that on Feb 1, I would start getting my life together. Mind. Body and soul. This includes shedding toxic pounds and people from my life and being HAPPY.
So to start my journey, I decided to weigh in (even though clothes are such a better way to gauge success) it's nice to see a number dropping when you make an effort.
Little did I know it was a monumental day for me.
Yesterday was my 2000th day on my wii fit. (Started aug 20008) so I did a little analysis on my weight data. I Started my wii fit at 213.7 (my weight got as high as 228.9 in 2005). My lowest weight ever on my wii was 182.6 with 152.6 being my low Bernie weight. So, I racked my brains to figure out what happened in 2009 to get me that low and it hit me: a diabetes diagnosis. I worked my ass off going to Zumba and learning to eat right. Made me wonder how I could "lose" such a pretty number.
Watch the little dots on the chart zig zag up and down as we fast forward to today: 206.4 ... That's down 2.4lbs from the fall when I did my fitness and health assessment at the trainer.
I can "blame" some of my current weight on insulin as the effects it had on me this summer were terrible. But I can't use that a scapegoat to say why the weight is still here. I was 192.8 when I started insulin. That was last June. My weight ballooned to over 208 from it. The uncontrollable hunger and the natural side effects of weight gain put me in a miserable place.
But I shouldn't be stuck there.
I have the power of control in my hands... When it comes to food. But as a foodie it is so difficult to overcome carb addition and overeating.
When i feel hopeless, I often joke that I need to go to a fatcamp and get my shit together... But this week, for some reason, I have started To harness that badass approach and want to do this myself.
Here goes....
