Quick and to the point... I've been a stay home mom for a little over a year now, and to be quite honest I have gotten fat. I wasn't thin to begin with, but the extra 25 pounds I've put on in the last year is where I draw the line. I am heavier than I have ever been. I weigh as much as I did the day I delivered B. Not okay. Not okay at all. Wearing yoga pants every day makes weight gain so easy! My love of food and lack of exercise is what has gotten me here.
Previously I've been able to drop weight when I wanted. I've done weight watchers- which worked in the past, but I was single, in my twenties, and was totally okay living off Lean Cuisines and 100 calorie packs (can you say chemical crap storm?). I suffer from adult ADHD, so my friend Adderrall helped ward of the extra pounds. I lived in an apartment and had free access to a small gym. Fast forward to today. A husband and a toddler to cook for, no free gym, and a very small budget.
Shakes are not for me, I need actual food in or around my mouth or someone will suffer. 😉
I'm not sure there is a word strong enough to express the hate I have towards running. Plus it's effing HOT in Texas.
So it appears I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way. I'd like to be under 200lbs by next summer (I'm a Young Life leader and that means swim suits in public and a mountain hike), but my main concern is my health.
I've been sitting on my big butt following all these fit moms on Instagram and I think I'd like to be one of them. (Thanks Fabchickgetsfit and Skinnymeg31)
I think I've gotten all of my excuses out of the way, so let's do this!
