100 Pound Loss

bp: 105 over 65, 61 bpm.
Wow. Just. Wow. 16% of what I need to lose. I’m also 6 pounds away from my “10% of your total weight” goal. On Weight Watchers, the 10% goal is your first goal. I’ve achieved it in the past, where I lost over 20 lbs. over the course of a year.
That 10% is an important goal for me this time around, too. I haven’t really been exercising very much. When you’re obese, exercise is pain– there’s no two ways about it. If you doubt that, go ahead and grab a 100 pounds of weight and carry them around the gym during your 40-minute workout. You’ll see what I mean. I found that, after I lost that 10%-of-total last time, I felt better, stronger, and had more energy, enough to start exercising regularly and, eventually, training for a marathon.
But this time, I won’t make the mistake of overdoing it on the marathon. The 6 months I took recovering from my sports injuries are the main reason I’m back up to this ungodly weight.
