I have got to lose some weight. I can't believe I'm going to tell you this, but I need to be held accountable for it. When I found out I was pregnant with Madelyn (Nov 2009), I was 175. I lost 10 lbs in the first trimester and got up to 190 while pregnant with her. I got back down to 175 after I had her and I'm now at 180-185ish. I cannot fit in my jeans (size 14). I want to wear my pjs all the time. I do wear my pjs all of the time, unless we go out, then I squeeze my butt into my jeans.
I don't want to do anything drastic. I'm planning on cutting out sugar. I eat tons of sugar. I depend on it. It's sad. I have got to get my butt up and do something. With all this cold weather, I don't want to do anything. I bought Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, but haven't started it. I tore a ligament in my knee while horsing around with my hubby and son. LOL Doctor said not to start any exercise. I think I might do it anyway, just not do too much or too hard. We'll see.
The point is to but this out there and I have to stick with it. If you don't mind, I'd like to post every so often that I haven't had any sugar (fingers crossed) everyday or so. Keep me accountable! I have no will power. LOL
Thank you!
Me too! The sad thing is my baby is 22 and still the baby fat hangs on! I lose some and gain it back. It's tough. Good for you - you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mari!
ReplyDeleteI've found that the best form of diet and exercise for me starts with liking myself. When I'm down on myself it is hard to get motivated BUT the better I feel about me the easier it is. I started taking "time" and "money" out for myself. I redone my hair, bought some new clothes and started following fashion. I take a pic everyday just to remind myself of how far I've come. I've started stepping outside of my box and experimenting with fashion & makeup. Honestly, I have a LONG way to go but I do feel MUCH better about myself. Most days I even feel pretty. It's so much easier to get motivated to walk and eat right when I feel better. Just offering some advice. Maybe chaning your mind set would be a good first step for you to. Focus on LOVING yourself just as you are and then improving NOT changing!
ReplyDeleteBless your heart. I have so been there. I'm talking about where you are in your head. My whole life has been a diet yo yo. I only really started to like myself and stop dieting about 2 years ago. I just have to like me for who I am no matter what I weigh because I just got so tired of putting my life on hold "until I lost weight". Just remember to be kind to yourself. You are an amazing, loving mother, wife, daughter and friend. Good luck on the sugar thing, that would be so hard.
ReplyDeleteSo true Angie!!! I'm going to get my hair did on Saturday. I'll feel better with that.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Holly!!! I'm trying, but it's depressing when my clothes don't fit. =( I really need to buy some new clothes, but it's gets put off for other things. Thank you guys so much!
You can do it girl!!! :-)
