My Poor Neglected blog

Well, I guess it is time for me to give this blog a little love! I could have alot of fum with this one if I just put the effort forward! I have another blog that gets all my attention and with plenty of time to take care of both, I should give it a go.

Stupid Laws of Arkansas

So our first dumb that Arkansas has on the books is...It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle. Maybe it is just me but, driving blindfolded falls under the catergory of just plain stupid.

Easter Day

So, I had a fairly good weekend. I knew I was going to my father in laws on Sunday and he always has a ton of food. Good food at that, so I ate fruits and veggies Thursday to Sunday morning, that way I could go and enjoy myself on Sunday. Worked out well for me.

Now with a new week starting I am one again commited to eating right. I have added a weight loss ticker..see below. Every time I lose weight I will updated it..atleast once a week.

So I didn't stick to well to my goal of posting everyday!! Well, I guess it is bound to happen. I have done well with the eating lost 1 lb. Not so bad, they say the first 10 lbs is mostly water. I have been eating alot more fruit and salads. Less junk. I geep track of my calories and avergae between 1500 and 1700 calories a day. Not to bad I guess.

My Story

So my story starts back in high school....

I was always a skinny kid, until puberty that is..sorry! In high school I worked really hard to keep my 5'3" frame at 140 pounds. It is so hard for me to remember those days! LOL..long time ago. Everyday I walked to school and I even walked when I had a car. I would work out in my room after school and managed to stay fit.

My senior year in high school my parents decide they were moving to New Hampshire. I got out of high school in January of 1994 and I went to work full time at the job I had all through high school. I got my own place, both of my parents had moved to New Hampshire by March and in May of that year I got pregnant. I did graduate high school in June with my class and no one knew I was pregnant, only me.

I got depressed, my parents were gone, my mom was my best friend and I turned to food. I ate everything in site and blamed it on being pregnant. People seemed to understand that. I quickly went from 140 to 180 and then to 200 and by February of 1995 I was a robust 215. Five days after my 19th birthday, my beautiful 10 pound baby boy was born. That was just the beginning!
The lowest I have been since that point in my life was 180. Food had become a comfort for me. All my friends were gone and I was raising a baby alone. I have fluctuated from 180 all the way up to 240 lbs, being my highest. I am now just about a month shy of my 32nd birthday and have managed to hover around 220 lbs.

It has taken alot for me to write this but I want to be honest with my readers. I have tried every weight loss program there is. What really works is what I did back in high school, eat right and EXERCISE. Will I ever be 140 pounds again? Probably not, will I be at a healthy weight? You betcha.

I have started this blog to keep myself motivated and hopefully help some of you out at the same time. Please feel free and look around of you have any questions or want to make a comment and are to shy to post it please feel free to email me - adayinthezone@gmail.com

If you would like to post your story, please email me at that same email address. If you want it to remain anonymous, I will certainty respect your decision.
