It seems like forever since I last posted. I have been fighting hard with my weight to keep it close to 270 and I want to hit 260. I was at a friends wedding last weekend and I really ate to much or maybe it was more than that. I was up close to 10 pounds Monday from what I want to be at. Then I was back down to 277 yesterday and I hit the gym hard then a spinach salad for lunch and another hour of cardio tonight.
I looked back at where I was in Jan of 2011. My weigh in at the start of the meltdown was 309. It's hard to believe I let myself get that big. I will never let that happen again. During a visit to my doctor for an ear infection he comment on how my weight was down from where I was a year ago. He also told me again that the weight I am at today is the highest I can ever let myself get to. If I gain a pound I need to stop eating and run around the block until I lose it. This is coming from my doctor. I think obesity is so out of control that doctors don't know what to say to people rather than be cold and hard. It worked in the past for me when my grandma said I was too fat and would not let me eat when I was at her house. Maybe we all need a little good spirited kick in the butt from someone who cares.
I know one thing, dodge ball starts this week and I am excited. In 6 weeks I am going to start Gladiator at the YWCA again and I think I am going to start doing body pump as well. This weekend I may run the Big Gay Race with a friend. I hope your weight loss is going well or you are at least keeping your spirits up.
Until next time- stay strong
