I have to acknowledge that my fitness journey is just that...a journey
not a destination.
These pictures are not from when I was at my largest as an adult, but the largest I've allowed myself to get after having weight loss surgery.
In January of 2017, I weighed in at 317lbs...again
I was determined that I would not get any larger than that again and I joined My Peak Challenge.
I was scared to spend the money to join this fitness program because I didn't want to quit and waste the money.
I'm so glad that I did. The second picture is me in December of that year. I can't remember how much I weighed in that picture, but it is quite obvious that I am significantly smaller and healthier after 12 months of work and good nutrition.
That money was not wasted.
The third picture is from the beginning of this round of workouts, when I joined the gym that I am going to now. I haven't taken another progress picture. I haven't done any measuring in a while and I haven't been on a scale in about a month or so.
I just keep going. I keep doing the best that I can each day. I measure my success by each decision that I make. Sometimes they are the best choices. Sometimes they aren't.
I still want to have excess skin removal surgery.
I still want to be the healthiest that I can possibly be.
Above all, I know that I will never allow myself to get back to over 300lbs.
That is not where I want to be. That is not where I feel good. That is not where I feel free.
Onward!
Much Love,
Lady Misty
