What I Have Come to Realize
2010 is almost over!!! So much has happened this year for me. I have experienced so much life and it only gets more crazy from here on out...and I couldn't be more excited!
Clearly, the biggest struggle for me has been the issue of weight. I ballooned up to 325 and didn't even really notice it. I got so wrapped up in other things that I completely neglected my health and it ended up putting me at the bottom of a huge hill with a long uphill battle ahead of me. Even though I approached it full speed ahead and am still charging up the hill, I find myself looking back from time to time thinking, "it would be easy to live in the valley" and I know it is something I will fight for the rest of my life.
Through all of this, I have come to this conclusion...and I'm sorry if I ruffle any feathers out there.
Obesity (which is what I was) is not a disease or disability for the majority of people. Weight problems come down to one issue, LACK OF DISCIPLINE!! I have come to find that it takes a lot of time, energy, effort and planning to eat right, workout and run. Most people (including myself) would rather take the shortcuts of getting fast food instead of taking half an hour to cook a healthy meal. So, here is the challenge, for the rest of this month, sit down and schedule out time to cook, walk/run and workout and by December, you will better than you ever have in your life!
BE DISCIPLINED AND ATTACK YOUR PROBLEMS WITH RESOLVE!!!

ONE MONTH LEFT!!!
Here I am in my office this morning and things are going crazy! I looked at the calendar and had a brief moment of panic. I set out on this journey (June 1st) to lose 60 Lbs by my 25th birthday (December 1st) and when I realized that I have one month left, it caused some hectic things to stir up in me.
The past 6 weeks of my life have been insane and because of my crazy schedule, I haven't been able to workout/run as much as normal and to be completely honest with you, I have settled for crappy/unhealthy food because I have been too tired to cook or care about much other than rest. I have been hovering at the same weight for a little over a month and I feel so defeated for not pushing through all of the struggles to stay on track with my weight loss.
So, today I have set a new goal for the remainder of this challenge. I WILL lose 15 lbs between today (November 1st) and December 1st! That will leave me 10 Lbs shy of my initial goal but I will be completely happy with being that close!!!
