I have always struggled with my weight, yo-yoing between a size 10-16 my whole life. Losing 30lbs, gaining 30lbs. Trying everything from WW, to the cabbage soup diet, even resorting to the LEMONDADE DIET!!! Blahhhhkkkk....Id lose a few pounds here and there but I always seem to go back to the same bad eating habits.
Ive been working in the healthcare system for the past 4 years, and have seen how being overweight has contributed to so many peoples illnesses, and diseases. I thought the weight would come off easily after my pregnancies, but that has been the farthest thing from the truth. For some reason since 2009, I just havent been motivated to do anything about it.
But now I am ready, I have always been some what active, but then again some what sendintary as well. But now that the scale has not budged from 195 since the birth of my daughter 18 months ago, and my clothes are all fitting so tight, I want to get into ALOT of the smaller clothes that are and have been hanging in my closet for a long long time!
I have joined 30 Minute Hit Boxing and Kickboxing Gym for Women this month, and I LOVE IT!!! I want this to be my thing. I want my kids to be able to see that their mom is healthy, and fit. They might not be too happy about the food changes in the house, because they just happen to be sugar nuts like thier mom! But this isnt just going to be for me its going to be for my family.
A new healthy, fit, clean-eating home. This morning when I got on the scale, like I obsessively do ussually atleast 5 times a day on the weekends, I was so disappointed to see the 197 staring back at me in the face! That means now I weigh 2lbs heavier than when I gave birth to my daughter 18 months ago! Im not interested in the scale reading 120 or even 130! But I know that in 2007 when I got married and weighed 168, I felt like a million bucks....so for now, that is my goal....165 by the end of the year! That gives me 6 months to lose 32lbs!
My committment here on my blog is to be accountable for my actions, cut out those nasty sugars that take over my brain, and work out 5-6 times a week, and start clean eating! I need to do this not only for me but for the future of my family having a healthy mommy and role model!~
