I'm also fat. I haven't always been fat, but I have always struggled with my weight...every...single...day. I have lost weight in the past just to gain it all back plus some. There have been tears (lots and lots of tears), triumphs, and disappointments. There are days when I'm so mad at myself for letting the weight creep back on. There are also days when I just don't give a crap. There is never a day that I don't wish I felt better about myself and the way I look. I'm ready to feel confident and comfortable in my clothes again. I want to like what I see when I look in the mirror.
I am currently about 35 weeks pregnant, and I'm so ready to have my baby and get my body back. I'm also pretty stoked about eating lunch meat again. I've had a pretty easy pregnancy, but I'm sure the 60 pounds I needed to lose before I got pregnant has increased a little bit...or a lotta bit. I'm not really sure how much weight you lose after you give birth, but I'm almost certain it isn't 90 pounds. So...here I go...again. I will be trying to lose weight, figure out this new mom stuff, and create a healthy environment for our new family.
The Plan:
Weight Watchers
- I've lost about 40 pounds with WW in the past. I gained it all back + some, but that's just because I completely quit tracking my food and started stuffing my face with whatever I wanted.
- I will be tracking everything I eat with the WW Points + online program
- I'm also not a clean eater. I completely dig processed foods. I may try to eat cleaner once I get the hang of tracking points again. The truth is, as long as I'm not huddled in a corner scarfing down the entire contents of my pantry we are going to consider it a success. Small steps people.
Exercise
- I'm not gonna lie...I don't like to workout. I always feel good when I get finished, but getting me off the couch and onto the street is quite a battle. I'm not sure why...I was an athlete in high school, and I'm no stranger to a little sweat and hard work. I just don't like it.
- I'm going to workout. I'm going to start out walking/running.
- My initial goal is to complete the Race for the Cure 5k run without stopping in October 2013.
- My big time goal is to run a 10k
Patience
- You can ask anyone who knows me...I'm impatient. I like things to be done yesterday...especially when it comes to weight loss.
- My goal is to be more patient. I'm making a lifestyle change. This is not just a diet. If it takes me two years to lose the weight, then it takes me two years.
- It will be worth it.
