encoded: This is Post 33 of my fitness/weight loss journey blogging. I did a Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim in May, 2010. Today marks The End to something that has been very significant to me: My weight loss journey. Just under two years ago, I weighed almost 165 pounds and was chubby and pretty lazy. Today, I am smaller than I’ve been since high school and yet stronger and more capable than ever. I weigh 129 and am not soft or lazy anymore. My trainer and I recorded data during the journey. Here’s the proof in numbers: <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-7656" title="SJ-ETC-SB-Anthropometrics1.31.11" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/SJ-ETC-SB-Anthropometrics1.31.11-460x135.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="135" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/SJ-ETC-SB-Anthropometrics1.31.11-460x135.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/SJ-ETC-SB-Anthropometrics1.31.11-225x66.jpg 225w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/SJ-ETC-SB-Anthropometrics1.31.11.jpg 1402w" sizes="(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /> Baring it all. (It took courage to reveal my numbers early on) What a difference 22 months and a bunch of hard work, sacrifices and commitment make. Near the end of March 2009 – 22 months ago – I found myself in the office of friend and personal trainer Steve Bechtel, at his Elemental Training Center, in my hometown of Lander, Wyoming. I was at the end of my rope. In a health and fitness rut, a week earlier I stepped on the scale to see what I knew but what hadn’t been verified with real data – I was overweight. The scale indicated I weighed 164. Every night for about three years, I would retire to bed with this same, deep, nagging feeling – let’s call it what it was, REGRET – that didn’t just speak to me, it yelled, angrily at me: “Another day went by and you did nothing about it. You didn’t exercise. You didn’t eat the right things and you ate too much. You’…

It's hard! First off, to those of you who regularly follow my fitness blogging, thank you for your support and readership! I appreciate it. You help me in my fitness journey. I’ve lost 28 pounds and a quite a bit of fat in the last 14 months. I have never felt better than I do right now as a direct result of weighing less and being healthier. I’ve tasted the Koolaid, so to speak, and I’m not going back. Or, model Kate Moss said (and was criticized for): “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” I’m not skinny, and not trying to be. I’d rather have muscles and be able wrestle our three sons and do “epic” adventures. These things require more than skin and bones; they require a strong frame. Still, I think about what Kate Moss says a lot. Like, for example, recently, when there were two cartons of Krispy Kremes at our house. (We bought the donuts to support a local fundraiser). The “filter” my coach and friend Steve Bechtel, of Elemental Training Center, instructs me to apply to such food decisions, is “Will eating this bring me closer to my goal or take me further from it?” Unless I’m training for a donut-eating contest or an episode of the yet-to-be-produced The Biggest Gaine…

It was probably the hardest part of my fitness and weight loss program, and yet the one that really helped me get fat and weight off quickly. Here is a video blog that takes you into my home and kitchen and shows you what foods I eat in a typical day, the amounts and when I eat them. (Be warned, this could be called the “Un Rachel Ray Show” or the “Non Martha Stewart Show.” LOL) What I Ate for 8 months to lose 26 pounds from Shelli Johnson on Vimeo.

For backstory, see Post 1, Post 2, Post 3, Post 4, Post 5, Post 6, Post 7,Post 8, Post 9, Post 10, Post 11, Post 12Post 13 and Post 14.] I know, I’m a dork. This is hoky and I’m a big cheese. I’m also going to get in some hot water over what this blog post focuses on, which is a something model Kate Moss said recently: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” I’ve been accused of writing too long, and I defend myself by saying I can type 150 words a minute. But I know how busy everyone is and that we all have limited time for reading. So, here’s another video blog from me. It’s short and it was fun to make. Thanks to my 9-year-old son, Wolf, for holding the video camera for me. And, thank you for following and providing support to me in my fitness journey. I love you for it, and hope my posts, and story, may inspire you in some way in your own fitness and health goals. I hope you enjoy this vlog. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-3344" title="ShelliFitnessStats120109" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/ShelliFitnessStats120109-460x45.jpg" alt="My weight loss stats for the last 8.5 months." width="460" height="45" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/ShelliFitnessStats120109-460x45.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/ShelliFitnessStats120109-225x22.jpg 225w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/ShelliFitnessStats120109.jpg 884w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /> My weight loss stats for the last 8.5 months.

encoded: So, you can see by this blog that I love the outdoors and adventure. This post is about my current pursuit of energy, fitness and fat loss. A little background information first… I was an athlete in high school and I attended the University of Montana on a basketball scholarship. I was raised in the mountains of Lander, WY, where I live today with my family. From 1986-1992, I was in Missoula, Montana. Both were great places to help satisfy my craving for the outdoors and activities like hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, snowshoeing and running. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-557" title="dsc06993" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/dsc06993-225x168.jpg" alt="Our family at Delicate Arch, Spring Break 2008." width="225" height="168" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/dsc06993-225x168.jpg 225w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/dsc06993-460x345.jpg 460w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /> Our family at Delicate Arch, Spring Break 2008. When I married Jerry in August of 1992, I married a distance runner who has the Ironman as a top item on his life list. (He’s also a Physical Education teacher.) So it’s perhaps no surprise that after I got married, I became a little more interested in running. Donâ€ t get me wrong, except for in high school when I ran the 400m, Iâ€ ve never been more than a jogger. Usually I would jog to maintain some level of fitness over the years. At the time of our wedding, Jerry had ran some road marathons, including Pittsburg, Chicago, Columbus and Couer ‘d Alene. Over time, I became inspired to try trail running and some slower, long-distance events. In 1999, we ran a 50-k trail run, the Big Horn, in the Big Horn Range of Wyoming. My goal was simply to finish. I did that, and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and experience – and ultimately the feeling of accomplishment. It was a good enough feeling that I knew thereâ€ d be …
