Sooo...I'm back on the wagon. A few years ago, I lost 58 pounds, using Weight Watchers. After 1 year, I happily arrived at my goal weight of 165 pounds. That may not sound like an awesome weight for some, but it is a healthy, happy place for me to be. Well, I didn't stay there long. Although I was a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I slowly put the weight back on.
Here I am, now about 25 poungs heavier than my goal weight. My clothes are tight, my body is uncomfortable, and I'm getting lazy. No matter how many times I've tried to get "back on track," I've failed. I have not been on program for several months, really almost a year. I'm so frustrated with myself because I know what to do. I know the WW program inside and out. However, since I'm not formally accountable to anyone, I don't do it.
That being said, I'm going back on program (OP) tomorrow. I'm writing this blog to share my journey. For two reasons: one, to stay accountable. If I know others are watching, I'll be less likely to quit. Two, to maybe help others that need some encouragement to call the wagon back and hop on. It's never too late.
I'm a yoga instructor. Being overweight makes me feel like a fraud. While the overweight can certainly do yoga, I don't feel like a good yoga role model. Fat rolls at the front of class, in a room full of mirrors, can make a girl feel uncomfortable, you know? I hope to incorporate many of the lessons I learned in my yoga training, philosophy and asana (poses), into my endeavor.
I'll post official numbers and a photo tomorrow night after I weigh in. I'm not going to post numbers on facebook, but here I'll be brutally freakin honest. I'm going to tell you exactly what I weigh, measurements, etc. Please check back with me from time to time to see my progress...here's to a better version of myself!
