Weighty Issue

There has been a lack of Fit Friday! posts. I have still been weighing in weekly but the number is not even moving. I was very surprised considering I was working out (intensely!) and tracking everything I ate on Fitness Pal the last few weeks.

Part of me always thought the scale was flat our wrong. I didn’t really weigh the number that the scale was saying I weighed. That was a weight I hadn’t been since I had gotten married and put on the “happy weight.” It just couldn’t be true. I was in denial UNTIL I had to take a business trip to Chicago last week. I had to wear business attire which I hadn’t worn in years. My work atmosphere is super casual and I wear jeans and flip flops to work every day and it is definitely a perk to the job.

I was in my closet trying on clothes I had worn two years ago at my old job every day. Clothes that were comfortable, cute, and even a bit baggy on me. I could barely button the black pants and my blouses were barely staying buttoned. YIKES.

This was a major wake-up call. I need to get back to my goal weight and maintain it in a healthy manner that I can continue for a lifetime. I cannot keep gaining and losing, gaining and losing.

Enter P90X. I’m doing it. I’m committed. IT. IS. ON. I need the motivation, I need the guidance. I need the change. I’m excited and I’m scared, but I know if I want to see change I cannot keep doing what I have always done. I need to change it up.

This isn’t a complaining post or anything of the sort. I know my portions can be too big and I can overindulge on the weekends more than I should. I know that I don’t eat enough veggies or fruits. I know this is my fault and my responsibility to get back to where I want to be. I’m willing to put in the work and I’m excited to see what happens.

I want to be in the best shape of my life at 30 and this is the best way for me to get there. Wish me luck and get ready for updates and please keep me accountable.
