This was me before all of that:
This was the night before our wedding!
I was at 123 pounds on my 5"6 frame and I was strong and lean and I felt GREAT. So, I've decided that's where I'm headed. :) Today, I'm finally going to set up my workout room downstairs. I have a treadmill, hand weights, tension bands, yoga mat, exercise ball, pull-up bar and several dvd's (Zumba, Dancing with the Stars Cardio, Yoga, Jillian Michaels, etc.). There is no reason why I can't get back to my healthy ME.
I've told the Hubby to purge the house of all the junk (which we usually don't have in the house anyway) by eating it asap. (He lost some weight in recent months due to his crazy schedule with his baseball coaching, so he can afford to eat all that junk.) I went shopping and bought all more usual healthy food and so far, this weekend, I've done really great. I've never been one to "diet" because those things don't last in my opinion. I just eat healthy foods that I love and work out. I have great muscle memory so this has usually been enough. We'll see if it still is after having a baby! :)
I probably won't weigh myself very often because I really don't care about the # of pounds I lose. I just want to look good and feel good again. I've always been fit so this is just the twilight zone for me!
Wish me luck! If any of you are on the path to feeling and looking better, let me know. We'll support one another!
Off to get my workout on!

My current shape is BLOB. I'm only 5'0 so there is not much room for all the extra poundage to go! I was doing really well a few weeks back, but then fell back into my old ways. I've done WW before and it has worked, but I really would prefer to just eat healthy and exercise more! I too don't care much about the numbers..I just go by how my clothes fit and how I feel! But I HAVE to get back at it...because this is just gettin' out of control!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling with the last 15lbs, I'm so frustrated. I'll never get back to where I was... twins left some extra stuff that will not be gone unless surgery is involved but I at least want to get to a content state. Lets do this ;)
