Hi everyone!
It's been a long time since I've posted here. There are a lot of new people here since I last posted!
For those of you who don’t know me (or remember me lol) my name is Linda, I’m 40 (woohoo!) and I’m married to a wonderful guy. I don’t have any kids, but I do have a cat. I was a member here last year and lost a little over 40 pounds. I don’t know what happened...but I guess we can all relate to this...I just slowly stopped doing all the things that I was doing right last year. It was a gradual process, though, and at first I stopped losing and was maintaining for a while (about 6 months) but now I feel the weight starting to creep back on. I gave away all my larger clothes (thank god that I did) so I can’t gain back any more or I won’t have anything to wear lol! I refuse to buy clothes in the size that I used to be so I’ve got to put a stop to this right now. I haven’t had the guts to step on the scale for a while, but I guess that I’m probably at about 220 right now. I was down to about 202 (for about a day!) so you can see that I’ve gained since then. So on my siggy I have question marks in the middle until I do my official weigh in. I’ll probably do that on Sunday morning. That’s when I used to do it before and that seemed to work for me.
I’m not sure what my plan of action is yet, but I do know that from past experience I don’t do well with structured plans and was doing well by just changing a few things at a time. So that’s what I’m going to try and do. I’m going to start with exercise because when I exercise, not only do I feel better but I also just tend to naturally eat a little healthier. My goal this week is to get at least a half hour of exercise in 3 times this coming week. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I don’t want to overwhelm myself in the beginning or else I’ll just quit. I’ve been through this enough times to at least know how I’ll react to certain things lol! I’ll do that and drink my water and go from there.
Glad to be back!
