So this idea is more of a journal and a fun way for me to be accountable to myself for my personal health. Long intro, I know. I have had 2 beautiful children. My oldest is 3 and my youngest is 1. I am not a small woman by any means. Right now I weigh about what I did at the end of my last pregnancy. Not great, I know. My goal is to get on a healthy exercise routine and some type of diet that will help me lose some of this weight.
So, no holds barred here are my stats: I am 25, 5' 8" tall and weighed around 242. As I have already started my new diet and exercise regimen, I now weigh 239. Small Victories!
Luckily, I have 2 wonderful children who like to do "exercises" with me in the form of watching Mommy do the silly games on the Wii Fit. For now this will be my main focus of exercise, when it cools down enough outside, taking walks with the children will resume as we had started this before the summer.
This will be an experiment for me, so if you are reading this, no criticism please, I have enough of a nagging in my head already, just encouragement or your own victories. I plan to keep an update with my weight and feelings because as you all know, it's not an easy task tackling this much weight. I hope that maybe you gain some inspiration of your own or even just feel part of the victory with me. I won't post pictures until it starts being noticeable of my weight loss because I already have enough of me at my heaviest, then I can post some before and afters. Now you have a better understanding of the purpose of this blog, I am getting healthy for myself and my children and having more energy for my husband can't hurt either ;)
