This is me….

What can I tell you about myself that would grab your attention…….?

I wish I could tell you that I got tired of being “sick and tired” as my trainer would say, but honestly it was the fact that for the first time in years I was feeling my weight. At the age of 34 I weigh 286 lbs. I have always been athletic and at my “size” I was playing sports and running half marathons. Recently that walk felt a little harder and that energy to do a little bit more was not there.

I have always been up and down on the scale. I have been an on and off again member of Weight Watchers since I was old enough to join; I have cycled through carbs and did the south beach routine. I spent a week at the biggest loser resort and last year I considered the weight loss surgeries. Every trainer that I have met says that they are going to be the one to “change me”; They could see it now.  But guess what I think I found the trainer that might just do that. So far, I have trained with him for two and a half months and the journey is slow, but I’m changing. This is me… the good, the bad, and the progress.
