FITNESS GOAL!!!!!
Hello friends of all ages.
I have decided to do something for me now which doesn't happen very often since I'm working constantly and helping with a 2 year old. I have decided to lose some weight!!!!! Okay, I'm a bit sheepish to talk about this because I honestly have never looked like a "Glamor Girl" my entire life. Honestly I have never been self conscious about the way I look either so that is good.
I came to this decision because we are currently trying to have another child and what better way then for me to lose some weight (and hopefully keep it off).
Here is my Goal:
~I would like to be at about 135 lbs not pregnant. If I get pregnant before reaching this goal then that is fine and I'll still work out, but I won't be as aggressive.
~ I will write my updates on my blog one or twice monthly. I haven't really figured out which yet. But they will include my......... weight (can't believe I'm agreeing to this) and inches on bust, arm, neck, waist, hips and legs............. This will at least help keep me motivated and maybe help someone else in the process.
~I have never been a crazy runner but I would like to get back (see how I said "Get Back" having babies can really do something to ya) to running about 5-6 miles a week if not more. I think that would be amazing!!!!!!!
Okay, here it goes
This is my listing in inches and how much I currently weigh...... (blush):
Weight: 200 lbs
Neck: 14in Waist: 37in
Arm: 12in Hips: 46in
Bust: 41in Legs: 25 in
Now before anyone goes and judges me, I must confess that I work at a desk all day and I honestly don't do anything except sit there..... all day..... I used to work at a job where I was standing/walking/running/lifting constantly all the time so I had energy and I was happy even though the job was hard I believe it helped me.. I still have confidence in myself and my abilities. The biggest reason for my determination is the fact that 1. I have constant headaches now and I honestly think it's because of this. 2. I am a lot more tired then I used to be. Might be because of a 2 year old, but I think it's because of the extra 65 lbs of baby weight that I put on shortly after getting married. I honestly didn't care much about what I looked like simply because I have always been this shape. I don't quite fit into some styles or clothing and I have been and will always be okay with that. I just want to have the energy again and maybe even have another child in the meantime.
At the same token I must admit that I learned something this weekend from a good friend's mother who owns the gym that I go to. She said that we as women of the church have all heard the lesson about the women with oil in their lamps and she said that she believes that means that we need to take care of ourselves as well to help contribute to the oil in our lamps. I believe in that and I also believe that as working wives and loving mothers that we need to take a little TLC and take the time to do something for ourselves to give ourselves the energy we need to get through the day/week/playtime/hubby time as well.
Thanks for reading. I'll update you all in two weeks and post a before photo soon!!!! Don't be ashamed of your shape or size. I certainly am not. :D
