About ME!

Hello :)
My name is Chelsea
I am from Poughkeepsie, NY
I moved to Boston in 2009
with a boyfriend
who I am no longer with
Therefore, I am single
and dating
in this amazing city
In between that
I run
go to the gym
love beer
and TRY
to eat healthy

Here is my story (as of Jan 2013)

Ever since College
I've always been into
going to the gym
and didn't battle a weight problem
Until I moved to Boston
& I didn't go to the gym as much
and the weight slowly kept adding on
It wasn't much
But enough where I needed a change!

I did Weight Watchers
starting December 2010
(after the breakup)
and I lost 14 lbs in 3 months
Then between the spring and summer
of 2011
I gained 6 pounds back
I was at a total of 8 lbs loss

I became obsessed with
going to the gym
and healthy eating

And I lost 21 pounds more!
But some of that
was due to depression
& anxiety
Which I battled
But SCREW IT!
I am not ashamed of it
It's who I am
and I am proud of the person I am
...just not every single pound that creates me ;)

So I was at a total of 29 pound weight loss
as of March 2012

Then I started running
I signed up for a half marathon
(August 2012)
and shortly into the 1/2 marathon training
I signed up for a marathon
(Philly, November 2012)
And found myself
ONLY
running
and carbo loading
and not following my
healthy eating habits
as closely

and I saw the weight creeping on
but ignored it
Because
I HAD TO RUN
I was running
TWENTY SIX point FREAKING TWO miles
the weekend
before Thanksgiving
So forget weight loss
I need to run!

Well...by November 2012
I gained all but 10 pounds back

The only reason I waited until NOW
was because I KNOW
what I need to do
but I was scared to do it while
training for my marathon

The whole marathon thing scared me, in general

But I am happy to report...
That I crossed the finish line
In one piece
at 5:27
3 minutes under my goal time!

But then it was my Birthday

(the big 25!)

Then it was Christmas time

So I decided to wait until the New Year and kick 2013's ass even harder than I did 2012!
...Maybe I will even find love? ;)
