About Me:
I started at 198 in September 2008, before a Medifast like program run by a local clinic. Since them I've lost 50lbs with another 10-15 more to lose. I have transitioned back to food and am looking for ways to maintain on a plan that I can do long term.
The goals I'm working toward:
- Lose 10lbs
- Maintain the losses I have had
- finish a half marathon
I haven't felt comfortable with my weight since:
About 2 years ago, when I reached my max of 215lbs. My aunt, who functioned as my grandma, died suddenly of a painful illness around that time. I maintained for a year but couldn't loss due to motivation, stress and grief that stood in the way.
My favorite healthy food:
fish
yogurt, especially Greek style
fruit of all kinds
broccoli
high protein/low carb shakes & bars for snack
My guiltiest pleasure:
Greek restaurant food
Mexican food
Good quality Chocolates
Fries
Fried chicken
I'm inspired to live a healthy life because:
I don't want obesity related diseases.
I want to be the old lady lapping the youngins' at the weekend 5K in 20 years when I am 60
Healthy habits that work for me:
- Running
- Schedule meals & snacks
- Stand up for myself instead of eating my anger
My favorite activity at the gym is:
Staying out of the gym & running on the bike path
Combo strength/ aerobics intervall class if I do go to the gym
The accomplishments I'm most proud of:
- I finished a 18 mile metric marathon- at 210lbs
