So this is really going to be about my weightloss journey for right now, unless I quit or come up with something better to write about. Maybe I'll try and mix it up so I don't get burned out. So let's get this party started!
I am the lucky mother to an almost three year old. Anyone with a little person in their life will appreciate what I am about to tell you... My little person is very honest. I wouldn't have it anyother way, but sometimes the things she says can be difficult to hear. In her daycare they are learning about how to be healthy. So they had someone from the YMCA come in and show the kids some exercises and they have been talking about nutrition, etc. That's great. She now wants to do yoga every night and is actually eating most of her vegetables. Yay!! Now for the down side to all this healthy stuff. She was nice enough to point out to me that my tummy was big... Excuse me? I know I don't exercise as much (never) as I should and I may not have the best eating habbits (they know my car at McD's) but really, my tummy is big? Thank you darling daughter for reminding me that I never got back down to my pre-baby weight. I'm taking this in stride I assure you. So what is a poor mom to do?
I got out my Jillian Michaels 30-day shread DVD and started a workout/diet plan. I didn't realize how out of shape I really am. I couldn't make it through the entire workout. It took all I had in me to do half and I'm hurting like crazy today. But, tomorrow it will be easier and by next week maybe I'll be able to do the entire thing. I'm also changing how I eat. I'm not going crazy and purging the house of everything, that's just crazy. I'm making small changes, sherbert instead of ice cream, not having seconds of dinner, drinking a glass of water before I begin my meal. Small steps to a big goal. I think that by writing about it is going to help hold me accountable also. Granted no one reads my blog, but maybe someone will soon (hopefully). To quote my favorite fish, "Just keep swimming".
