it has been a tough couple of months, but i am coming back here to continue to move forward in my weight loss goals.

i lost my job eight months ago and since then have been actively struggling to take care of my financial responsibilities so the time i had to keep up with sites like this was limited. eventually i just stopped using them. i didn’t let that deter me from taking care of myself an eating healthy, though these past few weeks have been a little sinful. i spent three weeks out of the state visiting friends and ate more fast food than i have in the totality of my short life. still, i managed to lose 4 pounds by eating small portions and walking as much as i could. in total, i have lost 45 pounds since april. most of that weight i lost in the past 4 months due to an improved diet alone. i haven’t been exercising as much as i should, but i hope to get back to my daily one hour routine very soon.

i looked at the first set of photos i took of myself and realized how much the weight loss is showing. i didn’t think it was that drastic, even if 45 is a big number but i really see the difference in my gut~! it really serves as motivation. next week i will take a new photo showcasing my progress and i hope to lose all the weight i have left (30-ish pounds) by next summer.
