2013 - Battle of the Bulge continued!

Wow I can't believe it's been a year since I last blogged about my weight! It's amazing how time flies and nothing changes LOL.

The dreaded scale at work!

The battle of the bulge continues for me. I have gained and lost the same 5-10 pounds now for the past year. However, I stopped working out last April 2012 after my knee became inflamed due to my running. So I gave my knee some time off and now I know I'm ready to get back on top!

I started Zumba dancing at home (along with an occasional Just Dance 4 "Just Sweat" session lol) on my WII to get started and have lost a few inches and a couple pounds since doing this 45 days ago! Woohoo!

What has helped me get started is joining (and creating) the Biggest Loser campaign at work. It has been fun getting back into the swing of things and I'm constantly sending out tips and encouragement to all my team members! So far I rank in 4th - 5th place of weight loss but have long way to go lol.

I left off in 2012 at 197 I believe and now (after drinking and eating for the past week due to my birthday) I am now at 207.2. My diet in the evenings has somewhat improved thanks to my bf who is also working on losing weight and my coworker (and cousin) who also is working on losing weight. I have cut down significantly on soda's again and hope to keep chipping at it until it's completely gone. I'm down to 1 - 2 a week right now :/

Pumped and ready to begin again :)

Knee issue explained ("Overpronation")

Found the reason for my recent knee pain! I need to buy the appropriate shoes for my tendendy to operpronate when I run/walk. I am flat footed so that would explain that.
Need: "Motion-control or stability shoes with firm, multidensity midsoles and external control features that limit pronation.."
