Well, the weekend set the tone for the week it seems. I’ve had a rough week, but I maintained my current weight of 182.

I have a NSV (non scale victory) to report. I have some strappy platform heals, and I wasn’t able to even get the straps around my ankles, and today? Yep I could AND I could buckle them, so I wore them to work for Funky Footwear Friday!

So I was on the tread mill pondering as I sometimes do. I was trying to recall precisely when I started packing on the pounds…

So anyway, I have always been chubby, not FAT like I am now, just chubby. Funny when I think back I use to think I was so fat… boy do I know different now!! I had always been around 140lbs, always trying to get to 130. I use to go to the gym religiously, before work. I NEVER had a personal trainer I never thought needed one I guess. I was also very physically active, I worked out doors, so I burned off alot of calories. So I think it started when I moved to Phoenix. I took office jobs that had me sitting all day, and my out door activities slipped, and then I packed on the pounds. I think I have been like this for about 8 year. About 5 years ago I dropped down to 160lbs but I fell off the wagon and it’s taken me all this time to get serious again.

When I think of the times I was 135, I was surprised to recall that I was doing 90 minutes of cardio a day! I would do 45 in the morning and 45 in the evening on a stationary bike. Hmmmm….
