At the end of June 2011, I was sitting on the floor of my closet crying because nothing I owned fit. I was squeezed into absolutely every article of my clothing. I was a bloated, out of shape mess that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without being winded. I picked myself up off that floor and made changes. Lots of changes.
In the past year I have lost 40 pounds and gone from an almost size 16 to a size 2. I hear the following questions on a regular basis:
What's your secret?
Do you starve yourself?
How often do you work out?
What diet are you on?
So I decided to share what I've learned along this incredible journey of health and fitness. Before we start, I'd like to point out that I am NOT a personal trainer and have no desire to become one. If you're looking for a trainer, contact me; I'll get you in touch with a few. I'm not a fitness or nutrition expert, but I AM an expert on what worked for me.
Here are the answers to the above questions:
- There isn't just one. There are many. (I have a Yoda complex)
- Nope; I eat like a horse. Ask my friends.
- In the beginning I worked out at least 6 times a week. Now it's at least 3 (I prefer more).
- I'm not on a "diet." I changed my eating habits and will eat like this forever.
Awesome!
