Well hello everyone. I’m sorry I disappeared for so long. I’m usually good at keeping up with online stuff because anything to procrastinate working out and getting healthy? I’m there. So anyway, I’ve been having some issues with my Bipolar Disorder. I got manic, did some bad things, went days without sleeping, was hospitalized, and all is finally well. Being in the hospital actually jump started my diet. My highest weight this year has been 305 and right now I am 290. I’ve actually lost this in the past 2-3 weeks. The biggest thing that has helped me is eating 3 meals at the same time every day. I eat at 8am, noon, and 4:30 pm. Sometimes I have a snack at night like fruit. My mom has helped tremendously too. I know she’s supportive and really wants me to feel good and be healthy so I don’t want to disappoint her by pigging out and not working out. My mom is so supportive that she bought me a treadmill. The only problem with this is that it’s made with an incline. It’s KILLER. I can’t do more than 10 minutes at a time, which is still better than nothing I guess. I won’t give up. I can already tell how good I’m starting to feel. This morning I put on a size 24 jeans that I had bought that were too tight to wear, and they now fit perfectly. It sounds so weird, but something finally just kicked in and I’m going all the way this time.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. I have gained two lbs since I joined the site… BUT I got an idea aside from BS to help me out. I just started a blog and have decided to work my ten week plan into it. I’m starting over today. In order to get some encouragement for my plan & to help out my blog altogether, I’m starting a weekly giveaway to tie in to my plan. I’ve been linking it to old friends, people I’ve just met, complete strangers.. I feel the more people reading about my plan and life.. well maybe the more motivated I’ll be to make some big changes happen so go visit it if you get a chance (and would like to win a gift card).

PS I haven’t forgotten about all my buddies. I hope you are all doing well & I will catch up with you very soon!!

I seem to have lost my motivation somewhere… and haven’t been able to get it back. I thought joining this website may help change that. Seeing the hard work people on this site have put in is amazing. I was hoping to start the day I joined this site, but it’s fair week and I? Had to have fried strombolis, hot sausage, funnel cakes, candy apples… but there’s no use being upset over it now, it’s over. All I can do is start now and try again. I refuse to gain any more weight. I was shocked when I hit the 300 mark. Tomorrow is a new day, and I am going to get my ipod shuffle loaded so I can start walking. I’m also going to start watching what I eat. I’m going to call this the “10 week plan” because I think making a short time goal will help keep me focused. So here’s to new changes and being healthy!
