I thought I'd make a journal to document my weight loss/health. I love my body. I think everyone loves their body- it's your vessel, your canvas. And I'm doing terrible things to my body right now.
I currently sit at 225 pounds. This is the heaviest I've ever been in my life- and I'm only nineteen. I've always been kind of heavy, even when I was a fitness freak I was 145 pounds. I've tried to lose weight in the past and it's always been a crap shoot. Now I'm serious. I can't stand the way my knees and ankles hurt, how clothes shopping makes me anxious, how I have zero balance and I can't ride anymore. I've lost my seat, I'm terrified of falling because I land HARD, I haven't actively rode in almost a year. My confidence is shot, I wear baggy shirts and I've had comments like "sorry sir" come my way for awhile. I don't keep my appearance up because I feel like it's not worth it.
It's time to CHANGE that. I can't stand it anymore. I want to be able to lift my **** out of the saddle and ride bareback without fear of hurting my boy. I want to be able to comfortably jump logs and trail obstacles. I want to RIDE. I want to ride well, I want to ride with balance and fitness, not blobbing along with a death grip.
more coming after work! Pictures, recipes, stories and exercise plans/exercises are very welcome! I want to hear everyone's success stories not only about losing weight, but about gaining strength, confidence and ability!
