Five years ago (or so) I weighed in at 275 lbs. (I am 5'11".) I started cycling and quickly the pounds started coming off. I was on my bike every day, sometimes twice a day. On my 50th birthday I biked fifty miles.
I've been stuck at 230 for the past two years or so. I could get my weight down under 210, but couldn't maintain it.
Three months ago my HOA opened up a gym for us - a nice gym. I promised myself I would every day until I was 200 lbs. I discovered I could watch Netflix while on the treadmill or elipitical. I got me some bluetooth headphones and... I could get a good movie going or tv series, and I wouldn't want to leave the gym. I started going two and three times a day - once in the early morning, once in the afternoon for lunch, and once at night.
Oh, and the stair master. I put on my one of my favorite songs and I can climb 200 flights of stairs in under twenty minutes. Three times a day.
I also changed my diet... I've cut out soda completely, limited pizza intake (lol), ate mostly high protein, and nothing to eat after 5pm.
This morning I weighed in at 200.6 lbs. I am so fucking stoked.
I feel completely different. I have a huge amount of energy. So fucking happy this morning.
