So everyone makes a New Year's resolution and almost everyone breaks it. I am going to use my blog to hold myself accountable to my New Year's resolution. Losing weight.. I am not just talking about an extra 10 pounds... My goal ultimately is to lose 75 pounds. I weigh now 222 pounds, the heaviest I have ever been. Before I had Chloe I was on my weight to losing weight, I was working out at least 4 days a week and lifting weights and really watching my diet. I had lost 19 pounds and like 2 inches in my waist and inches everywhere else and I felt really great. The other health problem associated with this is my cholesterol I had the luck of inheriting high cholesterol from my dad via my grandfather... Before medicine last year it was total of 326 after taking medicine and watching what I ate and exercising it went to 192... Now that I am nursing though I can't take medicine for it, but I know that diet exercise will help some. My weakness is cookies and chocolate... put the two together and I am done for... I never thought I had an eating problem... But when it comes to desserts I do... So my goal is to blog everyday about what I am eating, how I am feeling and about life in general to work on bettering myself. I know that heart disease is the number one killer of women and I don't want to be in a casket at age 50...
So to update, today I worked out using my Walk Away The Pounds DVD and I will do some crunches... It is a fabulous DVD because there is no excuse not to use it... You walk in your house it is EASY.. I am also using a weight watchers guide to count my points.
I am glad I added the picture of my kids in my previous post because I know why I am doing this... Not just for me but for them.. I want to be able to run around and play with them, as it is running is not okay for me...
That is a recent photo of me... Now I don't think I am unattractive... That is not what this is about, I think I am pretty... But I feel like I am a small person with a fat suit on and I don't like that feeling... I want to be healthy!
