Some of you may know me from my previous journal (started in 2005):
Kim's new and improved life journal
I thought it might be time to start a new journal, since I really did reach that original goal. For those of you that don't want to read all 160+ pages of that old journal, here's a brief recap:
I hit my personal "rock bottom" in December 2005 when I came home from a wonderful WDW trip and saw pictures like this:
I was way heavier than I'd ever been. So my sister and I started seeing a nutritionist, and I slowly began running, and by August 2006 I was a much happier, healthier me:
I found a great balance of running and eating for about a year, until my left hip decided to give me problems in the fall of 2007. I stopped running, began physical therapy (for bursitis) and kept eating the way I was. By eating that way and not exercising, I gained some of my weight back (about 12 pounds ).
I'd like to get 8 of those back off (the original 29 I had lost brought me down to 116, which was too low for me). I'd prefer to hang around the 120 mark. That's where I feel the best.
I just returned to the running program that worked the best for me last time (couch to 5k) and have finished week 2 of the program yesterday. My run days will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - and I will mix in some pilates and ab work a couple days a week.
Anyone that would like to join my maintenance rollercoaster is certainly welcome!
