Well, at least it did this time. July 2009. I actually made a (albeit slightly drunken) proclamation that I was going back to Weight Watchers and doing something because the shorts I was wearing were size 18. EIGHTEEN. That shirt? It was a Large. I could still get away with Large because my shoulders are so narrow (more proof that I was not simply "big boned". One look at my childlike hands nipped that notion in the bud anyway). I had made such proclamations before, and had modest success, but it just never seemed to "stick".
A year and a half later, and I was down 47 pounds and a WW Lifetime member. And, the shorts I buy now are size 4 or 6 (depending on the brand).
I discovered that I do actually ENJOY working out. And running - LOVE it! I fell and injured my knee in June of 2011, and was down for the entire summer. 16 weeks in 2 different knee braces. No bueno. 6 months of physical therapy. That whole ordeal is a blog post all its own, though.
I'm back on track now. Running, started CrossFit a little over 2 months ago, and I do circuit training twice a week. I'm no longer following Weight Watchers, I'm actually exploring Paleo (on day 20 of the Whole30!). There will be more on that, I'm sure!
Thanks for reading, and welcome!
