Fresh Start?

This post will be a bit of a let down to any of those following last year. I fell off the bandwagon, hard. On Monday, I weighed my heaviest ever at 288. This week has seen a change though. Kyle and I have worked out 5 days in a row, using up a 14 day free trial to LA Fitness. We have been going with my sister Andrea and her husband Daniel. Andrea and I have been throwing ourselves into the classes: Zumba, Step/Abs, Yoga, and also swimming, as well as some other things here and there. Also, I've cut out 90% of the pop and sugary drinks I consume on a regular basis, and have tracked, and maintained a healthy caloric intake for all 5 days. I gave myself 1 year to lose almost 100 lbs. my goal weight being 195 lbs, and my Spark People Tracker app gives me 1850 calories a day to reach that goal. I am desperate to make this work for several reasons: 1. Working out, or maybe just the swimming has made my body feel so much relief from the constant discomfort I am in. 2. Kyle and I are contemplating starting a family, and the risk factors for obese women are staggering. 3. Way too many people have asked me when I am due. It happened again today, with a long standing customer I've gotten to know pretty well. "Are you getting fatter, or are you having a baby?" I think she fully expected me to say I was pregnant, because she back pedaled pretty quickly when I quipped that I am just getting fatter. However, I am sick and tired of the way I look, feel, and my mood. So here I am trying to change again. I will weigh in at the end of the 2 weeks, I don't want to peak and get discouraged before hand. Here's hope for some good news!!
