Also, I am so sick of running on a treadmill. Will tomorrow be the day that I brave the cold outside and hit the pavement? Stay tuned...
Now, onto a post a wrote a few days ago, but forgot to publish...
My weight has always flunctuated. Even as a child. And it's only gotten worse the older I've become.
I don't post enough photos on this blog, so I thought I'd share some from my teen and adult years just to showcase how much I've yo-yo'd all over the place. I'm really determined, now, to stop that cycle once and for all!!!
Please me nice. I know I look horrible in a lot of these. I'm trying not to care.
(Remember...I'm 5'9. Healthy Weight Range is something like 135-169.)
High school 2002 - 115 (I was sick with out-of-control anxiety for months...didn't lose weight on purpose)
Also high school, but closer to my normal (at the time) weight of 140
May 2006 - my sister's wedding day - 161
I was in the middle of my first successful weight loss plan
My best friend's wedding, June 2007 (a week before my own!) - 153
July 2008 - 195 (the second picture helps to demonstrate how I gained that much weight in just one year)
Hallowe'en 2008 - somewhere in the 180s...also was about 11 weeks pregnant :)
Summer 2009, about 5 weeks post-partum - 200lbs
May 2010 (one year after baby) - 178. I was so proud of myself at the time!
January 2012 - About to pop (and at 219!)
Not long after birth - still above 200. I eventually settled in at 198
November 2012 - around 153
I really am a work in progress. Always. But I'm proud of how far I've come.
P.S. Still three days left to enter my giveaway!!! See previous post...
I'm always a work in progress, too! I did something similar to this on my blog recently, it's always interesting to look back and see the highs and lows (literally!).
