It's time to get my life on track!
Yesterday, I posted that I wanted to get started on eating healthier, cleaner, more organically. Today is the day that it all starts. This is officially DAY 1!
My starting weight is 178.4 lbs and my happy weight is 135. That's 43.4 lbs to lose. I should say that, to get here, I gained 50 lbs. while I was pregnant, then became severely depressed and did nothing about the weight gain. I don't plan on only losing, but also gaining muscle, toning, and regaining flexibility. Each Friday I will post a weekly update, meal plan, and exercise goals I hope to accomplish.
