Growing up I was like most young childen...happy...energtic...not a care in the world but I loved one thing more than anything probably in this world.....FOOD
At the age of 13 I weighted around 210 pounds. I ate when I was hungry, I ate when I wasn't hungry, I ate before dinner and had a nice little (Im being modest....) snack after dinner. Not understanding the principles behind healthy eating and exercise was leading me down a path of destruction! When I came to the age of dating, imagine became everything. Thats when my weight and I became true enemies.
Over my next four years of high school I battled head to head with my weight. I had been such a tom boy majority of my teenage years I never really cared how I looked or what clothes I wore, how my hair was done and makeup who? But I was ready to get noticed by the boys I teamed up with during a casual game of basketball. I wanted to be "That girl". I managed to drop down to 180 pounds my junior year. Although sadly I remained the cool down to Earth girl everyone knew as Keke...the boys high fived me and cheated off my test papers. I didnt attend ringdance and felt somewhat pressured to attend prom....
My sophmore year of college a gained 30 pound and was beyond disguised with myself. It became reality for me and I joined Bally's Total Fitness January of 2005. Who knew in 7 years of hard work and dedication I would conquere this battle and dropped down to a weight of 135 pounds! Whew....sexy!
Lol but in all seriousiness I wanted to share a little bit of my journey with you today. Its been a long and exciting experience for me to see myself transform from that little chubby girl to a true healthy women. Which brings me to the whole purpose of this conversation. See I have hit of what seems to me like a dead end road. My last couple of months in the gym have been so repititive and my body has become bored and complacent. Ive been attempting to mix things up by getting my dance fever on with Zumba. Also, pushing my muscles with kickbutt interval classes. My next venture was cyclying! But it all just didnt seem to satify. So I have decided to take on a challenge/dream and turn myself into a die hard fitness competitor! Thats right I said it.....FITNESS COMPETITOR! I've been training for a total of two weeks now going on my 3rd. And I have to say....I feel amazing. No true changes just yet, but each day I see a little more muscle poping out and my abs getting a bit more definied. So anywho stay tuned for more up coming articles. This will truly be a time of change!!!
