I'm BACK!

Stella's got her groove back,
or maybe Lorie, but seriously.

I went riding bikes today (with bad-a SIL) and had a great time. When I looked at my shadow? I couldn't believe that skinny girl sitting on the bike, was me.

You see, I've forgotten, how far I've come. Last time I rode my bike? I weighed 230 pounds (September 2011) ! Yepper, and let me tell you what a difference it has made.

Now the truth is, I haven't been making the best food choices ALL OF THE TIME, but I've not gained any weight, I've stayed active, and kept portions under control. I haven't gone back to the way I was.

I have finally identified what was holding weighing me down. I've spent every day the last 3 weeks telling myself that I wasn't good enough, that I wouldn't and couldn't be as good as everyone else. Well guess what? I only need to beat myself, I only need to do better than I've been doing.

I'M BACK!
Without a "new fangled point system" without "a I've gotta run as fast as so and so." No "I shouldn't haves, could haves, and maybe so's."

I'M BACK to doing what I've been doing, what I've done to the last 11 months. What I've done to lose 104.8 pounds.

What I will do to lose 27 more pounds.

Kickin' my own ass, not because I want to be as good as someone else, not to be as fast, or lose as much. Just to beat me.

This is a race against me, against where I was, against pushing my own limitations. BEATING LORIE.
