a little over a year ago i started attempting
to lose weight. i went to zumba classes, i joined a gym, and started
eating healthier (with the help of myfitnesspal app). i would have a
great couple weeks and then go off everything, then get dedicated again, and
then lose motivation again. it was a vicious sea-saw cycle.
at the end of last summer (August 2012) i had managed to lose 37 lbs - which was the biggest amount i'd lost at one time
without gaining it back. but then nursing school started and any of the good habits i had formed quickly left and all the old habits came back super quickly. i was eating fast food all the time, consuming tons of diet drinks/energy drinks, and not working out.
on top of nursing school i have had various family issues over the past year that has only increased the stress on my life. to make matters even worse, i started to feel extremely depressed. there were days that i wouldn't have got out of bed if i didn't have to go to class. i didn't want to hang out with anyone, i just wanted to be alone. along with the depression came over eating. i couldn't find comfort in anything, except food. it was my escape.
the confident me is no longer there currently. i fell horrible. i have gained all the weight back and i'm at my heaviest yet again, + 1 pound. i am miserable. i just feel "blah". i have to do something to get my spunk back and to make myself feel better.
so this is my journey. this isn't for my family. it isn't for my friends. it isn't for a guy. and it's not to try and fit in. this is for me. this is my chance to take action and make myself feel better and to get healthier for me.

it's time to get back to the grind of working
out, eating healthy, and just living a better lifestyle. i'm blogging my journey to hopefully keep me accountable to stay with it!
