If this isn't motivation then I don't know what is....

So I am finishing up my physical therapy after having neck surgery. I go twice a week... I went today and worked my butt off!!! I thought I would stop at JCPenny's on the way home and see what was on sale. I was pretty excited.... that is.... until I started trying on clothes. So prior to surgery I was comfortably in a size 12, sometimes a 10, but mostly 12's no matter what brand. Today I tried on two different pairs of 14s and they looked like they were painted on. OMG, talk about heart failure. No more of this eating like crap, not working out, etc. I didn't work this hard to get fat again!!!!

Ok so I have a game plan. Starting tomorrow I am going to go back to the basics for a few days. Protein Shakes morning, noon and night.... then I will slowly start back on high protein, low carb good for me stuff!!!!

I will keep you posted on my progress.

Long time no hear (or post for that matter)

Well my how things have changed since February. So the neck saga continued and eventually I had to have surgery to remove the herniated disc and fuse two vertebrae together in May, which I have to say was the best thing I could have done. However, my weight has suffered tremendously. I've been away from the gym per doctors orders for more than 8 months and have truely had to sit on my rear-end to heal. As of today however I can at least walk on a treadmill. From my new ticker at the bottom of the page I would like to lose 38.4 pounds to get to my goal weight. Not to say all of that is added weight, only about 20 lbs is, which literally makes me sick to my stomach. Enough is enough, I am getting myself back on track now that I can exercise more than just a jaunt around the block.

New Goals:
Increase Protein Intake
Decrease Carbohydrate Intake
Increase Water Intake
Walk on the Treadmill Every Day
Be Healthy to Have a Baby

Yes, that last one is probably the highest on the list. Now that I am no longer broken, I have things to do!!!
