So I was Fat. Currently residing somewhere in P.H.A.T.ville. Now heading toward being Fit. This is a blog that I've created to keep myself honest, share my story and possibly inspire others along the way. It has been a LONG time coming, but now it's time to finalize the last leg of this trip.

Why did I resist so long?
Why did I resist eating healthier so long? I've been really consistent with working out for the last two years. But, for some silly reason. I was determined not to give in to healthful eating. Yes, I changed my eating habits for the better over time. But for the life of me, I didn't really want focus on the quality of my food. I know my way around the kitchen exceptionally well, but preferred packaged/processed foods. I guess I didn't want to cross over into a tree hugging health nut. Maybe I still wanted that feeling of inclusion. Most of my family and friends could give a rat's arse about how much artificial 'anything' is found in there daily diets. Well except you Karen. LOL, but you're the definition of weird anyway, so you don't count! <hug>
After enjoying my oatmeal for breakfast I am so pissed at myself for taking so long to try something new.
My clean oatmeal was made from:
Old fashioned oats, blueberries, banana, toasted slivered almonds, cinnamon and drizzled with maple syrup.
I highly recommend it!

7 days... 7 lbs
Ha! I actually stuck to an eating clean plan for a week. I'm happy to announce I've also lost seven pounds in the process. I'm extremely excited about what the next few weeks will produce. I'm not approaching this from a dieting perspective. This is a lifestyle change that I plan to adopt for the long haul. I feel better and stronger in this small period of time.

Appreciate your journey
This weight loss and fitness journey has been a semi difficult journey. Timing is everything. Having the right mindset, the right people, the right tools can make all the difference in the world. I've learned this over an eight or nine year period. Would I change anything about my journey? Not really. If anything, probably that I would have taken the weight off faster. But at the end of the day I realize that things happen as they should. Altering my steps wouldn't make me... me.
