Up until this year I have always basically been at normal BMI. It's taken work and sometimes I was on the very edge of being overweight, but I've always managed to regulate my habits and body. . . until 2018. I'm a teacher who has taken on a new and more difficult group of students that I will teach for 2 years instead of the regular 1. I was stressed and anxious and ate all of these feelings until recently.
At the beginning of April this year I was definitely, easily 150lbs. At the start of April I didn't weigh myself because I knew that I'd become overweight for the first real time in my life. I was disappointed and embarrassed with myself. I was forced to start walking to work due to a home remodel and my car needing to be used by the family friend who came from out of state to do the remodel for us. I only have an 8 minute walk each way, but walking to work and back for two weeks had produced noticeable results in my body composition, so I weighed myself for the first time and clocked in at 147lbs, which is still overweight for my height of 5'3.5".
At the beginning of May I decided to lose weight for the first time this year. I statred CICO and continued walking to work. This led to me walking in the afternoon during my leisure time. This led to wanting to try harder and joining a gym. And here I am at the end of the month of May and I've lost about 12 lbs. A lot of it, I learned, was water weight.
But the results are incredibly noticeable and I'm much happier with my body. I'm preparing for the end of the school year and my vacation in Mexico. It's my goal to look good in my bathing suit so that I feel confident and relaxed. I'm pleased as punch with how far I've come and hopeful that I'll reach about 130lbs by the time my vacation rolls around.
