Alllrighty then....
Here we again. This is number 4, I believe! I started over last year at this time and did pretty well until Xmas hit. Started again on January first and was okay until I started my new job. Since last year a few things have changed in my life. Number 1, my username here. I used to be Anlhess, but now that I am divorced I needed a fresh new name becuase that one stood for Adam and Laura Hess. That brings us to change number two.... my divorce is finally final! Woohoo! The day I signed my final paperwork it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I am still at my "new" job that I started in January and things are going well there.
Okay some quick backgroud on me. I am Laura, a 27 year old female from Northeast Pennsylvania. I really can't say I have always struggled with my weight. Yes, I have always been overweight by the chart standards, but I have not always been overweight by my size. Yes in high school I thought I was HUGE at 155 pounds, but looking at pictures I realized I only thought I was huge because I didn't weigh 110 like the others. I definately was not fat by any means.
Today however that's another story. I am weighing in at 225.5, and can feel every bit of it. People still look at me and tell me I am not fat because of the way I carry my weight. But I know it is there and I can't be seen in a bathing suit. I sprained my ankle back in August and I am still having problems with it. I know that is because of the extra weight I am carrying around with me. Dr. sent me for an MRI, but i think it is going to come back negative and he is going to tell me I just need to give it time.
Anyway, I restarted this WOE on Monday and came on here and looked at my tapings from when I stated this last year. I can say, if nothing else, I haven't gained weight over where I was orginally and I have not really gained inches on my body, except for my arms and I think that is from being on crutches for 8 weeks. Not bad for a years time.
My motivation this time is the cruise I am going on in February to celebrate ME. It is a singles cruise going to Mexico. And what better way to celebrate me, then being on the path to the best me I can be. I want to be able to go on this cruise with new bathingsuit in hand and a new dress for the formal dinner.
So on that note I am off to donate plasma, go to work and then hit the gym, taking care with the ankle. Ohhh that is one of my other motivators. I found out over the weekend I can go to our local YMCA for free just by showing my military ID card! YES!!!!
