I am so sad to read the last of my blog entries. I wish I could say that I had not gained every pound I lost back, but woe is me...I have. This weekend I weighed in at a whopping 390.2 lbs. Last time I was successful, I lost 110 lbs and slowly gained it all back after changing jobs which put my ability to care for myself in jeopardy. After 5 years of neglect I am ready to focus on myself once again.
Everything happens for a reason I say. Last year, I began working on my Masters degree. Two and a half years ago I changed jobs again so I could focus on myself and my family. Part of my masters degree coursework requires us to make blog posts using blogger and I once again was confronted with my blog I created long ago. I am adding to this blog tonight as a reminder that I still care about doing better and I am still not ready to give up.
Officially, this weekend before reading the blog I am so saddened from, I decided to start again.
I set a goal that I want to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail this coming summer. I plan on departing around June 1, 2019 to start my trek. I planned months ago on losing 100 lbs before I left for the trip, but then proceeded to waste 100 days with not making any progress but rather losing ground. Therefore, I now have just over 200 days to drop 100 lbs. That means if I am going to be successful with that, I will have to drop half a pound a day to do so.
I understand this isn't a healthy goal to expect but it also doesnt mean I cant try. People who do weight loss surgery lose that much every day. So I'm going to see how it goes.
