Yesterday, I went to the gym for the first time in a few years. I got a membership on Friday, walked over to the gym yesterday, did some cardio, weight machines, felt great. But after I showered, I stepped onto the scale in the locker room and it shot up to almost 250 pounds.
I had thought I was 215. It's just mindblowing to me how it could have kept creeping up without me noticing it at all. It was definitely a fresh new wake-up call. When I told my coworkers recently what I thought my weight was, they were shocked and said I didn't look anywhere near that. But recently, I saw myself in just a towel in a mirror, and almost broke down over how fat I was. So I guess it's not too much of a shock to see that number, but it still hurts.
I feel pretty gross, but I'm trying to look past it to the good things. I went to the gym. I exercised! And I'm going to go again as soon as I can! (My upper body is KILLING me, my muscles hurt so bad! My legs feel just fine, but I can't lift my arms up!)
Besides that, I reinstalled MyFitnessPal and am trying to remember to log again. I also cooked myself healthy lunches for the next couple of days, so that I won't overeat or eat out on my lunch breaks.
I wish I could hit fast forward on this and just speed through to when I feel better about myself, but I guess if that was possible, there'd be no point in anything.
