Last summer, I was on a walking kick and I loved it. I didn't change my eating habits though and only managed losing a whopping 7 pounds for the entire season. Then, enter into the Fall and Winter season and those 7lbs found their way right back to my doorstep. I normally would think of waiting on a new season to start a new workout or "diet." But, why wait? Wait to gain a few more pounds? Wait to find a better excuse to wait longer?
Today is a new day and that is a good enough reason to start a new journey. There is no excuse to my gaining weight. I will not blame it on having babies. I will not blame it on not having time or energy or the finances to join a high end gym. NO excuse! At 25 years old, I should be the hottest mom on the block, not the one dragging myself or trying to catch a breath while tackling a flight of stairs. I used to be thin and fit and that is the Real me, not this image of me today. It's a shell that will soon be fading into a memory.
I began weight watchers last week, half way through the week actually and five days in, I had lost 3lbs! Not a huge number, but it's a start! The start to something big!! I will be continuing this blog weekly if not twice a week on my ups, downs and in betweens. Keeping track of fitness, diet, nutrition and my lifestyle. If your on a similar journey, let me know! It's so much easier with a buddy along for the ride!
This is going to be my before, though I need a better belly shot! not a baby belly shot, a post toddler belly shot! :-) Today is a New day and a New start!
