My never ending quest

I'm ashamed to say this but lately, I have been really struggling with my weight. I've tried lots of things but nothing has really seemed to work. Over the past 2 years, I have managed to put on about 30 pounds. It's really depressing. I hate looking at pictures of myself from 2 years ago because I am reminded of how skinny I used to be. I also hate looking at pictures of myself now because I feel so gross and get depressed when I see how big I have gotten.

So instead of staying depressed and not doing anything about it, I have decided that it is time to take charge and change a few things. I have tried doing this on my own but have realized that I can't do it on my own. I need someone to report to so I have some accountability. That's where the blog comes in.

I plan to record my weightloss journey here on the blog. My goal is to post at least once a week with my stats for the week. That will mainly include my starting and ending weight for the week. Of course if I have time, I will also post more often during the week to share any experiences I am having during this journey.

A couple months ago, I started cardio kickboxing. I love it and I sweat like crazy. It is supposed to be a great workout and help you loose lots of weight. I go 3 times a week and do it for an hour at a time. So, that will serve as my major excercise diring the week.

The hardest part for me is going to be the food part. To say I love food is a huge understatement. I especially love junk food. I have to stop buying the stuff and get this under control. I think once I am able to do that, the weight will melt off (or so I would hope).

So here I go on a journey to loose 30 pounds. Since I am going all out here...I guess it would help to post my starting weight (despite how embarrasing it may be to put it out there). My starting weight is 175. I plan on being really good this week and really watching what I eat. I hope that when I post here on Friday or Saturday, I will be able to report a loss of at least a pound or two.

Wish me luck!!! See you in a week!!!!
