My flip switched.
Today is the day I stood in a build a bear and saw myself for the first time in ages.
I threw away my grande white mocha with whipped cream....went home and took a one mile walk.
I haven't stopped Since.
I am sick as a dog today.
But I wasn't going to allow this day to go by without commenting.
I have the stomach flu.
And while I may not be exercising, I AM unable to eat...
So it's all good. lol.
Balance is the key...lololol.
If you are starting today.
Just know this.
One year ago I was 262.4 lbs.
I am now as of this morning and thanks to the flu (and a lot of hard work)
I weigh in at 159 lbs.
One year has made a world of difference.
So, start now.
What are you waiting for...
I thought about you when I was walking today... I was thinking this is how you started a year ago, and that I an do it, too!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better!
I hope that you feel better soon. Take care of yourself for sure and Happy healthaversary(sp?)!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the Weight loss I am catching up I hope lol

What was it about Build A Bear that made you make the change?
Congratulations!!!

Congratulations Chris on your one year anniversary of changing your attitude and your life. You have done a great job and really stuck with it. Now that I've begun to get stronger I've continued to eat junk so now I need to join the ranks of the work-it-offs. The only problem is because of my medical issues I will have to do it with low impact and low heart rate exercises but I can do it cause you and Amber have done it so here goes...one..two...three..I'm off!!!
ReplyDeleteI started walking on May1, walking everyday in May. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's amazing what can happen in a year.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon!
I guess a switch flipped on inside of you, Chris. Or maybe you suddenly knew that someone, somewhere had a greater purpose for you than spending your life eating. I know. That happened to me too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry you are sick! I hope you kick this fast, and get back to feeling good again.
ReplyDeleteBut congratulations on your one year New Life anniversary! Yes, what an incredible difference a year can make.
