Accountability and Perseverance

Accountability:

To be responsible for someone or something.

I am holding myself accountable for my

present weight; not anyone else.



Perseverance:

To finish what you have started. Continued

steady belief or efforts, withstanding

discouragement or difficulty; persistence.

I will persevere if I acknowledge that this is my

own fight and I have something precious that is

worth fighting for.

Day 293; 225.0 Pounds (Joined the Gym)

So I haven't really told my story in a while so I think I will start from the begining of my weight loss. It all started in April of 2010. I was in the hospital having my son (2 months early mind you) and the nurses weighed me. I was a whopping 305 pounds. I had always told my family that if I hit 300 to shoot me and put me out of my misery and I had topped that. I was devastated. That started my weight loss kick. I lost about 15 pounds after I had my son. In October I started planning a weekly menu for 3 nights every week. My husband or I would cook a low cal dinner (that I shopped for the week before) 3 nights a week. Just doing this and working out nightly on my wii fit got me to 260-270. That is when I started my blog. Well 40 pounds later I am stuck at this awful plateau for the last 6 months. SOOO... I joined a gym! I worked out for 2 hours tonight (cardio fat burning and muscle toning), I plan on going back this weekend and trying at least 3 times a week which may be hard for me. Breakfast: 447
Lunch: 1,100
Dinner: 379
Total: 1,926 Calories
I am going to try to stay under 2,200 calories while working out. I have a year contract!
