At the time I had no idea what an impact that decision would make on my life. I knew I needed to adapt a healthier lifestyle, but it seemed almost impossible to work full time, go to the gym and cook. With a little help from a supportive boyfriend, we started going to the gym and eating healthier. There were definitely days I didn't want to workout or eat healthy but I still pushed through those tough moments knowing I had a goal in mind.
Here I am one year later and I've hit three major fitness goals: 1) My weight loss goal was met in a little more than 4 months 2) I've maintained that weight since July and 3) I completed my first 5K (in 35 minutes!) on Sunday. Added bonus, I never had to give up beer!
After hitting my weight loss goal I have a little more flexibility with my diet but I've never stopped pushing myself with my workouts. On top of training for the 5K, I still went to the gym 3-4 times a week and incorporated hikes on weekends. Some may say I'm a little overly dedicated, but it's part of my lifestyle now and I wouldn't change it.
Thank you Weight Watchers for changing my life.
