2010 Progress Report: No. 1

I debated whether or not I would blog about this and if I did, when I would do it. But here it goes anyway: Ladies and gentleman, since the first of the year, I have lost 30 pounds. That's 3-0. 10 pounds, 3 times. I have lost more pounds than years I am old. I have lost a months worth of pounds. [It was actually 29.5 lbs and Jericho told me I wasn't allowed to round up but I don't care. It's close enough. Once I cut my hair, I'm sure it'll drop another 2 lbs.]

I wrote out this huge testimonial of my life-long struggles with health goals. But it sounded way too much like my admission video to The Biggest Loser and it was really boring and sad. And that's not how I feel right now. I was ready to make some changes so I picked a diet that was crazy, insanely strict.* I went on a hormonal supplement to boost along the process. And I kicked that diet's trash. All of my clothes are too big. My wedding rings fall off whenever I'm somewhere cooler than room temperature. I have visible cheekbones [in my face]. And I have a fantastically awesome husband that made the process so much easier. [Like telling me how gross his cheesecake was and that I should be grateful I didn't have to eat it.]

I still have a ways to go since this is a work in progress and will continue on for the rest of my life. But I made a goal at the start of this year, and I killed it. Bam. 30 freaking pounds. I want to call up my last doctor that basically said I couldn't do this and tell them they need to pick a different profession. Hack.

It's only the middle of February and so far this year I have bought a house, planned [and almost] paid for my one year anniversary trip with Jericho, and lost 30 pounds. Other goals are currently pending but so far, things are looking pretty swell for 2010. 

*For anyone that is curious about what this diet was and how I did it, email me. It's different, strict, and not for the wimpy or faint of heart.*
