It Finally Clicked!

First off let me start off by checking in on where I have been since I have not posted in a long time.

1. I have been a caretaker for my grandma. I have spent a lot of time caring for her needs and completely ignoring mine. Whew that was a difficult truth to speak, but now I feel better.

2. My mother passed away during the end of the summer and I spent almost two months down south taking care of my grandma.

Just before my mom passed away I spent the summer reading as many books on weight-loss as I could find at my local library. I had just signed up for weight-watchers online and was in the middle of starting a new weight-loss program. I am finally back home and I needed to pick up where I left off with my earnest desire to change.

When I got home in October I did not go back to weight-watchers. I was determined to do some sort of fast so I did a one week energy bar fast in which I ate 6 energy bars a day for food. I started watching the Biggest Loser Episodes on my Netflix and I got inspired to reactivate my weight-loss efforts for real. I started a little routine of weighing myself daily, walking and writing in my journal. I ate mostly salad and protein for my meals and allowed myself some snacks along the way. I had been following the plan for three weeks and I lost about 10lbs! My starting weight was 276lbs and the last time I weighed in I was 267.

I am still currently following this routine. In the next post I will tell you exactly what I am doing, whats working and what is not.
