You Can Go Hard Or You Can Go Home

My name is Chrissy. I'm 27 years old. When I was in high school, I weighed 270 pounds. When I graduated high school, I weighed 150 pounds.

I've kept most of it off, but I've had some gains and losses since, most recently gaining 30 pounds in 2010 and losing that plus some in 2011. I'm currently the smallest and lightest I've ever been and in the best shape of my life :)

I have accepted the fact that my weight and health is going to be a struggle for me my whole life, and I've turned it into a passion.

There is no secret, no shortcut, and no easy way out. It's hard work, all day, every day. And you know what else?

IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT

Gully does this thing... it's really quite hilarious, he will be cuddling and then all of a sudden he will just start pushing with his paw, straightening his arm out so it's stiff, pushing against you. Today he did it on my head, haha I was just having our regular morning cuddles then BAM there's a paw on my forehead pushing me. You'd think that means stop, but nooooo, when you stop petting him he paws at you for more. So silly. Do your cats do silly things like that?

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone on the junk food thing. It sucks hey! I'm going to make more of an effort to eliminate the junk all together. I went grocery shopping on Wednesday and bought a ton of healthy stuff and stocked the fridge. I spent an extra $50 on groceries this time around, so I am all set now.

Let's make it happen this week, I agree! I'm in!

Such a hilarious story! I hear ya on the picture thing... my computer crashed for good last night. I knew it was coming, I mean it was an old toad from 1006 I have no idea how it managed to survive this long. Everything's lost now, oh well I guess. I'm not too bummed about it.

How are you doing today? Not workout wise, but like how are you emotionally? After reading a couple of your blogs and knowing how you feel about being down I have been worried about you!
