falling way off the wagon

LOL! Okay it’s been awhile. I've been busy and yeah my weight loss plan went for good to bad. I think I'm committed though this time...for real. I know that I might have said it before or someone in the same situation says it a lot. Personally it's my favorite quote but seriously this time its for real, losing weight hasn't been easy for me. It was about a month ago I came to a realization that my weight was creeping up on me. I went to the doctors to treat bronchitis and when the doctor took my weight I saw the scale say 228.7. In my mind I was a little depressed not only because I was gaining the weight that I had lost but I was getting close to my peak which is 260. I hated how I felt at the point and I didn't want to feel like that ever again so I decided to myself and made a commitment that I would start change my eating habits and just my lifestyle in general. I also new I needed to change because I could just feel my health deteriorating, shortness of breath, depression, and high blood pressure. I already know I have high cholesterol too. So for the pass couple of weeks I have been eating more vegetables and fruit. I have been creative with the vegetables by making salads or adding seasoning to them when I cook them, so it’s been easier for me to eat those veggies. I've always liked fruit so I just have to eat more of them. I also picked up a little bit of extra exercising. I still do Jazzercise about 6 times a week but now I walk to dog for about 15-30 minutes a day or when I can. My friend and I also go to the gym on Mondays for a good hour workout. This has completely changed my attitude and I'm already feeling better. I'm not going to stress myself over it either. With the holidays coming up I will still stick to my plan but I won't deprive myself from something that I want to eat. If I want to have a slice of cake, I will eat that slice of cake. So here I am ready to do this weigh loss thing and make it a reality. I will reach my goal weight and it will be fantastic.
