I am currently:
22 years of age.
5 foot 2 inches tall.
A whopping 325lbs.
I had gotten down to 305lbs and then put on water weight and I don't know what else. I only had 30lbs to lose until we TTC our next child, but instead I now have 45lbs to lose. The one main thing holding me back is the excruciating pain I am in all the time from the bulging disks/early degeneration in my lower back, and the muscle spasms in my upper and middle back. But I am no longer letting those pull me away from my large goal of weight loss.
Today I did Level 1 Jillean Micheal's 30 Day Shred, it was on Cox on Demand, that is where I get all my exercise video's. Yesterday I did a 20 minute boxing one, 10 minutes of another and then 15 minutes of Just Dance 2 on the Wii.
I am going to be trying different weigh loss aide's along this journey. My first is the Cinnamon-Honey drink.
You need:
1tsp cinnamon
1-2tsp honey (I used 2)
8oz boiling water (you can use the microwave for this)
Add cinnamon to an empty cup, pour boiling water over it, cover and let steep for 30 minutes. Add honey, drink 4oz before bed time. Cover the remaining 4oz and place in the refrigerator. Drink the rest when you wake up in the morning on an empty stomach. Do NOT re-heat.
I am sitting here sipping on it and it tastes a little funky but I think I can manage 4oz of it. Let's see how this goes.
And last but not least the fatty pictures! I am going to try and take a picture in the same outfit on the 5th of every month, hopefully I will remember.
This is a great step in your weight loss. Accountability. You can do this. I know you can. Keep at it girl!!

Alexandra thank you thank you! I really think this blog is what is going to do it for me because knowing I have supporters and people following my story makes me want to push that much harder so I can really show myself and everyone else the results on weigh in days and picture days.
