27.


I don’t think I’m honestly brave enough to share how much I weigh. I mean who wants the whole world (or at least the internet world) knowing how many pounds you are… But I would like some encouragement and cheering on so I thought I could at least set goals… and tell you how I’m doing on them.

So first things first…. To get to where I was before I got pregnant with Samuel I need to lose a total of 55 pounds.

To get to my “before babies” weight I need to lose a total of… well, let’s stop there for now. Let’s focus on the first goal, eh?

Over the past several weeks I have managed to lose some weight. I weighed myself today and I have lost 10 pounds!!! I try not to weigh myself often. It was encouraging because I was beginning to wonder if exercising was having any impact at all. Apparently it has! This week marks 8 weeks of consistent exercise. Thank you Jesus!

So 45 pounds more to go! And actually I think I should break it up into smaller goals than that because yikes… the number is daunting. Maybe a goal of 25 pounds or so first? Yes, let’s break it up to 27 pounds and then another 27… 27 is my favorite number after all.

So for the first goal I have 10 down, 17 more to go!

The bare truth.

Emotional eating is a huge struggle for me. I feel like I'm doing fine coping with all the stress of my life... dealing with anxiety and at times panic and depression... but I'm not. How am I coping with it? I'm eating. I'm eating through the pain. Eating through the sadness. Eating through the loneliness. Eating through the regret and then I'm loathing. I loathe myself for doing this. I don't want to overeat. The problem is I don't even feel "full". I never even feel stuffed. I feel like I could just keep eating and eating and eating. It makes me so mad. I can do really well and exercise and take my vitamins and drink water. I can be sure to eat a large salad with tons of fresh vegetables and a delicious balanced breakfast, etc... but when it all comes down to it I will eat the wrong things later as an attempt to satiate the pain inside me. I will eat the goodies and sweets that I know are calorie loaded. It breaks my heart. this...

New Beginnings.

Well, I joined Weight Watchers December 31st. I am so excited! Weight Watchers just started a new program. It's called Points Plus. It's very well-rounded. It takes into account protein, fiber, fat & carbs. But it makes it easy! I like it because it's all about eating healthfully and being active. It's a lifestyle change not just some fad diet. Several people I know are thinking about or already have joined! I'm so psyched. I'm looking forward to doing something good for myself that will in turn benefit everyone around me. I will have more energy! I want to be around for those I love... I want to take care of my body. So between God's help with Weight Watchers and taking Zumba at the YMCA... look out :) A whole new me is arriving with this New Year!

4 weeks!

Mike and I have been faithfully following the Body-for-Life challenge for 4 weeks now! It hasn't always been easy and we haven't always been perfect but overall we're doing it and I feel like we're changing. Changing what we eat. Our exercise habits. Even what we drink. Coke is for our off day! I look forward to Saturday nights. We enjoy a 24 hr day off from Saturday evening til Sunday evening. It's part of the program. When I'm tempted to feel left out or deprived I will say to myself, "Hey, you can have it Saturday night or Sunday afternoon." Often by the time I get to my free day I couldn't care less. Must confess I'm excited my birthday falls on a Sunday... this Sunday.
