I guess technically, when I talk about a starting point...it's more of a restart. I've been on this journey for a long time. I'll have to take you back to Freshman year of college, February 4th of 2002. I finally realized just how out of control my weight was. I don't know my starting weight at that point, but I do know that before I left for college, I had to get a physical, and at that time I weighed about 240 pounds...and I'm pretty sure I gained the Freshman 15. I did take my measurements though, and here's what I had written down:
Chest: 43 1/2
Waist: 41 1/2
Hips: 55
Thighs: 31 1/2
Calves: 17 1/2
Upper Arms: 17
That semester I had a friend who kept me accountable to work out 6 days a week and eat right. By the end of the semester I was well on my way.
I've continued to yo-yo ever since that point. And I told myself after I had gotten below 200 I would never let myself cross that line again. And I broke that promise...twice. This last time was the worst. At Christmas I was weighing in at 220 pounds! YIKES! I told myself then I had to get control of this.
So here we go again. I've been working out and eating right, but tomorrow is my official day of measuring and weighing in and documenting everything from here on out.
I'm ready to unconver the best me.
