I started a series of workouts and dieting about five months ago when I returned from two weeks overseas to find that I had gained about nine pounds. With a wedding roughly four months away, I had to hightail it to the gym and cut out the carbs. Talk about fun. I enjoyed the workout because in the midwest, the winters are brutal, and working out was a way to keep warm. This worked fairly well until my car got stuck in a pile of snow while trying to pull into the parking lot one evening. Needless to say, a blizzard threw off my workout schedule for more than a week.
So after a good two months of few desserts, no pasta, and little to no bread, I was able to drop down to 116.5 before the wedding day. Now, after our return from the honeymoon and indulgences, I'm back at the gym around 4-5x a week. The cardio helps with the occasional mood swings and overall well-being. But now that i'm down to a size 2, it's still not good enough. And so, I'm trying to re-adjust my weight goal from 110 to 105. I figure once I do get down to 110, i'll re-adjust down to 100. You can probably see where this is going.
