Wow, this was like just the kind of “support group” I’ve been looking for. My name is Sara  [sentx3jnt on Lavish btw] and I just signed up today! Hopefully reading other’s blogs and talking to you all will help me stay on track. That’s my biggest problem, I can never absolutely stay healthy and fit. I think the only time in my life where I wasn’t pigging out and I WOULD exercise everyday was last school year, between the months of September and January? Yeah, I was on the basketball team, with practice 6 days a week, and absolutely NO soda! After basketball ended, I fell out of sync. Track was my next sport, but I was a thrower [shotput & disc] so we never really had to run. Grr, this helped me get lazy again.

So here are my stats, as of today I am 5′9, 185.6 lbs [which is an iffy number, since it's the middle of the day]. I do know for sure that I am over 180 lbs. Since summer started, and I actually started to pay attention to my weight, I’ve gained *tear, almost 10 lbs! During basketball season, I lost weight and maintained a healthy 170-175 lbs, and I was okay with that. With track I gained about 2 lbs, so I was maintaining 177 lbs from the beginning of track [January] to the ending of school [July].

Lately, I’ve been trying to eat healthy. So far I’ve been pretty good with that. I don’t drink soda, and I try not to get a second helping. But watching what I eat can only do so much. I am going to try and do my ab sessions, and run/jog at least 5 times a week, if not everyday. My goal is really just to get back down to my 170-175 lb range, by the end of August or middle of September.

Gosh, that’s a lot. Sorry, but I guess it’s kind of my way of “venting” about my weight. I really look forward to blogging as much as I can and hopefully with all the support from everyone I can reach my goal. I am also happy to be here to help people with theres. This is such a good website!
