The switch is on!

Five months ago yesterday is when I got sick...5 FREAKIN' MONTHS of my life...just gone. Since I believe that everything happens for a reason, there must have been a reason for me to have been so down and out for so long.

I have tried and tried over the last couple of months to figure it out. Today, I may have found the answer. I have spent the last 2 years exercising my little heart out. I was good...great even at spin, lifting weights, etc. However, I hadn't lost ANY weight during that time. I ate what I wanted and worked out 5-6 days/week and called it good. Well guess what? It wasn't good.

It is time to focus on the calories going in this body. And today...the switch turned on. It feels good :) I have decided to count calories. Which holds me accountable for all that goes in my mouth since I will have to write it down..hee hee. There is a method to my madness.

I feel really good with this decision, and I know that as long as I am aware of how much I am consuming then it will eventually help me lose some of this excess weight. I am going to work towards exercising 5 days/week, but right now I don't seem to be able to do more than 3 days and sometimes only 2. I will get there. It will get better.

This is the best I have felt mentally in a really long time. I am patting myself on the back for this positive movement and encouraging myself that even though it will be hard the results are worth it!!!!
