Inside Out - Lisa Rugglesa thousand times I’ve failed, still your mercy remains

I have contemplated recording my weight loss process here for about 3 months.  Each time I chickened out.  Probably because I never started losing it.  :)  I didn’t want to expose this side of me but seriously the only person I’m fooling is myself.

So here it goes.  I have struggled with losing about 30 lbs for 6 years.  After Chloe I got it all off but 5 lbs. and then came Emily, and lets just say that baby weight decided to hang on for the ride. 

I have lost the same five lbs and gained it back more times than I can count.  I have struggled with being depressed over the weight gain.  I know that I’m physically not in the place where I need to be.  At this weight I’m at risk for diabetes and heart disease.  I know how to eat healthy.  I know how to exercise.  I love how I feel when I do these things.

My new journey to health began two weeks ago. I’m counting calories and exercising on the elliptical we just got in December. A nasty flu-bug derailed me the second week but I’m now back on track.

So far I’ve lost 5lbs.

25 more to go (my goal is 20 lbs by June).

I am by no means an expert but I will be posting tips and tricks I find.   If you want to join me in this journey let me know!
