I decided the other day that I was going to lose weight and do it the right way. I have an extra 30 pounds I would love to get rid of, and I've decided this is the time.I have done tons of sporting events. I started to ride my bike last year, which really got me started on trying to be healthy. Last year, I did multiple rides, ranging from 104 miles to 26 miles... and completed 2 triathlons. You would think this would help me lose weight.... think again.
Like everyone, I have gone up and down in weight. I was at my thinnest when I got married 2 years ago. Since then, I have gained 15 pounds. That may not sound like a lot to you, but when you're 5'2", it is!
As part of this whole getting healthy project, I have made some major lifestyles changes (which is what I want to do). I am now a vegetarian. This is for multiple reasons. I don't agree with farming and it helps me watch what I eat. Now, I have to make sure I am getting the appropriate amount of protein, carbs, and so on. This is great, because I never really thought about what I was eating before. This alone will not help me lose weight. I have been a vegetarian for two months with no weight loss.
I have been too lazy for too long and it's finally caught up to me. I'm not going to standby and let this happen anymore.
If you have any suggestions, or weight loss tips for me, please post them. I would love to hear what's worked for you.
