I didn't have a ton of goals for 2010, but I had one in particular. I wanted to get myself Healthy. It's been a resolution of mine for many years, but I didn't want to turn 30 *Sept. 2, 2011* being as overweight and unhappy as I was. So, my plan was to lose 30 by 30.
It's taking a lot for me to share these pictures with you... but I'm doing to do it...
Here I am at my biggest:
Jan. 2010

Winter 2008, I think
It's hard for me to share those because those are pictures that I'm not proud of. I may look like I'm having fun, but I feel like there is a lot of hurt in that girl. Hiding?
So, on January 7, 2010, I joined Weight Watchers. I started going to meetings every Thursday night and I followed the plan. It taught me how to eat, how to take care of myself and how to be responsible for my health.
On June 10th, I had lost 28.7 pounds!! I had a wonderful summer and put on a couple of pounds, but I am taking those off now and here's me now...
Sept. 2, 2010 (my 29th birthday)
July 2010
I've kept off 25 pounds since last January. Sometimes I don't give myself enough credit for doing that. I am still on the journey, but I am definitely proud of how far I have come.
Here's to keeping it off in 2011 and becoming an actual runner!
I'm so excited and happy for you Caitie. I know how great this feels and how proud you should be of ourself! Keep it up! Maybe we'll end up being runners together
ReplyDeleteCaitie--congrats. You have really dedicated yourself to a much healthier livestyle in 2010. Very inspiring! And I agree, you DO look like you're having fun in all those pictures. Don't you always?!
