A Year Gone By – Part Three: Thinking Back
When I started this journey a year ago, I wrote this on my 100 Pounds to Go blog:
I’m Spunk, and I’m 100 pounds (about 45 kilos) from my ideal weight. I got married May 5th, 2007.The honeymoon is over.
I’m taking the change in my name and relationship status as an opportunity to change me, too. This blog is for me to keep track of my weight, my goals, my rants, and my moods as I try to work off 100 pounds. This blog is also meant to be a means of support for anyone who has a large amount of weight to lose.
My approach is this: I’m not just overweight because of one thing. There are many reasons for it, so I’m going to try to approach my weight loss from many sides. Three, to be exact. Mental, physical, and emotional.
If you’d like to join me on my quest for health, please feel free. People like to know they aren’t alone when they take on challenges.
When I wrote that, I was ready and rearing to go, not worried about anything going wrong or stumbling on my path. All I knew was that I wanted to get healthy in a hurry.
While the hurry part hasn’t really happened, a year on I am in no doubt that I am many times healthier. I feel better than ever, have more energy than ever, and I even go to a local gym on a regular basis.
I can definitely tell you I didn’t see that happening a year ago.
All in all, I may not be down in the pounds like I would like, but I’m still very happy with my progress mentally and emotionally so far. I’m in a much better place.
How about you?

I think you’re doing great! The biggest gift we can give ourselves and especially our future children is to be healthy and fit at the time of conception and for the rest of our lives. Well done!

Thank you.
When the going gets tough, I think about my future babies.
