Since the pictures I have on here are from a few years ago, here are some pics of me from a month ago on vacation with my boyfriend in Jamaica. Even though I was about 125lbs when I went, I was feeling pretty flabby since I hadn't been working out for almost two months. My boyfriend was looking really good though! I lent him my copy of P90X when we first started dating and he had finished two rounds of it by the time we went on vacation. Jamaica is beautiful, I definitely recommend it!
It's been almost three years since I've blogged and oh, how things have changed. While I may have not documented my fitness journey online, I did not stop working towards my fitness goals. It took close to two years to meet and then surpass my goal weight of 130lbs. I set a new goal to reach my "happy" weight of 125 by January 1st, 2011. On that New Years Day, I weighed in at 123lb, beating my original goal. It was incredible to start a new year without having one of my resolutions be to lose weight. That changed my mind set and I was able to focus all my attention on other personal goals that had nothing to do with my body. I switched from casual dating to trying to find a meaningful relationship. I went back to school to work on a career in the medical field.
Seven months ago, I met my boyfriend and because of him I've been the happiest I ever have been. But like most women who enter serious relationships and fall in love, my eating habits started to change. Instead of making my own meals, we would go out to dinner or order a pizza. The weight I worked so hard to lose was slowly starting to creep back on. After four months of dating, I had gained back 8 pounds and was at 130lbs. I did manage to lose five of those pounds in time for a trip to Jamaica at the beginning of January this year, but barely a month later I'm up to 132lbs.
It's time to change my lifestyle again, which is why I'm back on my blog. Even if no one ever reads my posts, this is a way to keep myself accountable and hopefully stick to the good habits I know work. Tomorrow I start my new workout schedule and am going back to my gluten-free, semi-low carb diet. I know it will be very tough at times but I'm excited for this change.
