Second Anniversary
Today is my second anniversary of starting my fitness journey, at least it's the second anniversary of setting foot in the gym to workout with a trainer. It feels great to be able to say I've not only stuck with it this long, but that I don't foresee not doing this for a long time to come. In these two years, I've:
* gone from 205 lbs (no muscle tone to speak of) to 142 lbs (a decent amount of muscle tone)
* gone from a size 16 (well, I had a couple of outfits size 18 and the 16s were getting a bit tight) to a size 6. I had never been a size 6 before!
* integrated exercise - including running and strength training mostly - into my life.
* really looked at my nutrition and made "tweaks" so my food consumption is much healthier now, especially adding breakfast every day.
This journey has been populated with a lot of great supporters - family, friends, trainer, naturopath, co-workers, sparkies - and I'm thankful for every encouragement along the way.
I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do for myself for my second anniversary, but Ted Loo Fitness (the trainers I workout with) is paying for some professional photos for me as a "success story" on the website. Ted & Warren have been instrumental in my fitness successes.
I am very happy today.
