Okay, so a friend started the Fit42 challenge (http://teach42.com/challenge). I had wanted to join up when I heard him mention it sooner. But I'm not that active. I didn't really have a goal in mind. I was wallowing in the me that I wish I wasn't. I found an old prom picture. I realize I felt so fat then. I checked in to Weight Watchers for the first time. LMFAO, that was 55 pounds ago. What I would give to look like the fat version of me from my high school days.
I watched my weight just before the wedding. I still looked like a whale in a white dress. But that too was 25 pounds ago. I am so not happy with the way I look today.
So that was it. I had my goal. I first return to the weight I was at our wedding (only 2 1/2 years ago). And then I will work on bringing myself closer to my old prom fat days.
Since I joined the Fit42 challenge I have learned alot. I have my motivation and the public accountability of facing the kind hearted souls that are also part of the challenge keeps me going. Someone mentioned how important tracking your calories are. Someone else suggested using your camera phone to snap photos of your meals to help your remember what you had to better, more accurately track. Hmmmm let's combine technologies. So today I begin a wellness journey blog for myself. I will be digital storytelling my road to a healthier version of myself. I like to think that I am actively creating Neene 2.0. I just wonder what Neene 2.0 will look like.
