Progress


It's been six months since I started my journey.  Six months ago, I was laying in bed on a Sunday because I just couldn't make myself get out of bed.  In bed was the way I spent most of my weekends, too tired to move, sleeping all day.















Now - 6 months later, I have more energy than I know what to do with.  So, I've started working out on the treadmill with heavy inclines for 2 hours at a time, and I go hiking every weekend to burn even more calories.  I'm down 48 pounds, soon to be 50.  I'm no where near where I want to be.  But, I'm headed in the right direction.











I spend 2 hours a day on the treadmill, usually in 1 sitting so that I don't have to go back to the gym later that night, and I log every morsel of food that I have into My Fitness Pal.  My Fitness Pal is a GREAT tool to keep track of how many calories you've eaten.  I use it to make sure I'm not going over my calories, and if I do go over, I know I have to go to the gym again before I go to bed.  Doing this, I've been able to lose 2 pounds per week for the last 6 months.

There's no mystery pill, there's no mystery diet that works as well as "Moving more, and eating less"
