Update 02.11.2014

First things first; my opinion on the biggest loser winner. I think she did an amazing job and deserves her winnings.As far as her looking a bit over thin...yes, however I highly doubt she will be at 105lbs for very long. That's all I have to say about that. 

As far as my update...well I am no longer part of the boot camp that I joined. I am currently sitting at 255lbs. I am moving from my apartment in 11 days to my moms house. Once I am in my moms I will be developing my plan based off of the Body for Life program for work outs and meal plans. 

I will be coinciding a new financial plan to hopefully do both in tandem. 

Need to get back to drinking water more regularly and not eating tacos every morning for breakfast. 

I really do want to be successful in weight loss and be healthy. I know for that each year I continue to be overweight can cause major medical issues and shorten my lifespan. I know what is required of me to make it happen. 

Here's to making it happen!

Getting back to my year of FAITH!

Overdue Update 01.19.2014

Long overdue update. 

249 lbs. 

Started Transform Nation on the 13th of January. 

Looking forward to the results. When I made it through four weeks of the system in the fall and I lost 8 inches off my body in just that short amount of time. I am looking forward to results. 

A lot of bloggers choose a word for the year: 

this is my year of faith.

 Faith in myself and my ability to be successful. I am not going to plan on blogging a lot or often. I will be writing in my personal journal by hand and will share things as I feel they need to be shared. In the boot camp we are weighing in every week. I will be posting my numbers and thoughts on that weekly. I do already know that my waist is about 4 inches smaller than it was last time. Anyway I am excited to see what happens. 

oh did I mention I signed up for a full year of Transform Nation....

each session is 3 months with about 3 to 4 weeks off in between.

Damage I've Done

age

I am 26 years old biologically....my body is 42 years old because of years of obesity and neglect. My health insurance offers a free health assessment online. When I completed the assessment it told me I am actually 42 years old because of my own lifestyle. That sucks....

I can't believe that just because of what I eat and don't do as far as exercise makes me only 8 years younger than my own my mother actually is. 

Recently I've seen two pictures of myself that just make me want to scream. I am still sitting at 240lbs. It just seems like my body is bigger than it was. 

FORTY TWO...next time I take the assessment I want it to be younger than my actual age. I need to cut 100 lbs off my body and 16 years off my "age".

I want the left side...determination and hard work are needed.

Strength over time equals power.

April!

Well hello April! How I've missed you! I love April. So many good things this month. Many of my family members have birthdays this month and mine is on the 30th. 

I went to the doctor at the end of March and had a physical. It was not pretty. As we all know, I am considered morbidly obese for my age and height. My BMI is around 47%. My cholesterol is so high that she has put me on a low carb, low sugar, low fat diet and bonus my thyroid is low so I have to go to an endocrinologist. I will find out the exact numbers for my cholesterol on Monday I hope. I hate hate hate myself for still being so overweight that I am a heart attack waiting to happen and I'm only 25!!!! I mean wtf is wrong with me that I can't get my head out of my ass, my car out of the drive through and the soda out of my hand to get this shit done and be healthy??? It's all I've ever wanted and for some reason I can't get it done. I don't have a choice anymore. To keep myself from having a massive heart attack I have to do what I know is right and good for me. 

any ass kicking advice?? go for it in the comments!
