So I started a challenge on Facebook with two Beach Body coaches. One is my coach and she's done amazingly well! I have Greenberry and Chocolate Shakeology standing by and will begin Slim in Six when the challenge officially begins. They've challenged us to start a journal. I thought blogging would work, but I'm horrible at being consistent. We shall see how this goes :)
What I want out of this challenge - to lose weight and ultimately be healthy where my Type 2 diabetes doesn't need any medications and is completely under control. I've lost weight before, but tend to get really discouraged when I plateau or if I start feeling like my efforts are going nowhere. I have a lot of weight to lose so sometimes it feels near impossible. But I'm going to give it my best shot! 2 weeks ago, I went to my doctor. I weighed in at 305. My highest weight ever. I was so ashamed. I was told if I don't lose at least 90 lbs by my 40th birthday that I need to get a gastric bypass... ugh. I don't want to go under the knife to lose weight. I'm not knocking those that have... its just not an option I want to do at this point in my life.
So here's to losing about 150-160 lbs, starting this new journey and seeing where I go...
