so it’s time. i’ve reached my highest all time weight in the 26 years i’ve been roaming the earth! ugh. i can’t stand it. my weight bugs me every single day. yuck. it’s time to do something about it. finally! i mentioned in a earlier post that the YMCA gave us a scholarship and is going to pay half of our membership, yes! so there’s no excuse to NOT go to the gym
and i also got the scholarship to bring lila to the therapy pool and work on PT with her. so here’s my plan!
eat clean. healthy. starting tomorrow morning! i was talking to another mommy friend who just ran a bagillion mile marathon a few weeks ago. 20 some odd miles?! holy cow! so she was the first person i ran too, to get some advice on jogging. she referred me to this SITE! basically it’s a running routine. i was a pretty good jogger in high school and i know that you can’t just jump on the track and run 3 miles..doesn’t work that way. you must pace yourself, slowly. so i ran into this site and it gives you a 9 week work out (3 times per week) to get up to running 3 miles! yes! i will also be adding in strength training in my target areas (legs, butt and arms) in the mix as well…and i need to find a website with a training to work with as well.
eating healthy. my worst habit ever is to eat yummy unhealthy food. i think the process will be a long one. it won’t come over night and i will indulge in a chocolate cake once in a while. i don’t want unhealthy food to be completely out of distance…but definitely going to eliminate most of it! i’m a out of sight out of mind type of gal when it comes to food! but that’s the next step along with exercise.
so here’s my stats. i debated blogging it. i’m a bit scared or even embarrassed! haha! as most of you know…i’m short, very short. 5’1″. ugh. petite. for being 5’1″, i would love my weight anywhere from 115lbs to 125lbs. i do NOT want my weight any lower then 115lbs. i’ve been 105lbs once in the summer of 2005 and i looked sick. yuck. i don’t plan to become all muscle either. just fit and healthy. i don’t have any plans on getting rid of my butt either! hahaha! well maybe a little and toning it as wellhaha! ok. taking a deep breath. i’m 145lbs today. wow. so this means i have 25lbs to loose! i mentioned that i typically gain weight FAST, but i can loose it fast too. i know if i keep to my diet and exercising, i can loose it pretty fast. but keeping with it is the MAJOR thing! my pants size is 10. i want to get down to size 5 or 7. i have a big butt and hips..so getting below size 5/7 is probably NOT going to happen! i’ll just deal with the waist being huge and the butt part of the pants being tight. my life story.
i start the gym tomorrow. i would love to get up at 5AM and get to the GYM by 5:30AM and be home before my husband leaves for work at 6:30AM ish…but i’m so NOT a morning person. but i know deep down inside i would feel better if i exercised in the morning. jump start my metabolism and feel more energy during the day..but we’ll see. they say it’s best to work out with in 3 hours before 6pm or with in 3 hours after 6pm.in any case, it doesn’t matter when you work out..as long as you do! hehe!
ok. my first workout picture. to bad there isn’t a baby in that belly..to justify looking BLAH! haha! i didn’t do a side profile..because my weight gain is in my arms, face, legs, hips and maybe a little in the but. not so much waist.
and i understand..i’m pretty brave to start this diet before the yummy christmas FOOD! i’ll get through it. some how. haha! i plan to update everyone once a week with what’s working, what’s not working and weight loss (if there is any). i wanna be healthy..and at a healthy weight again! and the irony in these pictures..fat girl wearing skinny jeans. bahaha!
