So today, I've decided that I will mark the beginning of my race to look sexy. A race that I seem to constantly lose. However, this time I feel a little more hungry for it.
On July 16th, my husband will be turning the big 3-0. This is my deadline. To get my sexy "back" to help bring in the next decade of his life.
Now, I have never really been a tiny girl. But I have spent the last 8 or so years telling myself that I would never get "that big." Then when I would get "that big," I would look at a girl bigger/heavier than me and say I would never get "that big." Every time I got that big, the same words would come out of my mouth.
When I moved back in with my parents back in 2011, I decided to do something about it. I started going to the gym and I saw results. Then I got married and moved to Kentucky and all was lost. I tried again to get back to the gym last spring.
Amusingly enough as I started working out again, I started to think, "Wouldn't it suck if I got pregnant right when I was trying to lose weight?"
I was 203 pounds when I found out I was pregnant and ended my pregnancy around 240ish. I am currently fluctuating around 208 lbs. This is the most I've ever weighed (while not pregnant and recovering from my c-section).
Today I started a cleanse, which I will post about tomorrow. I've also been using a the My Fitness Pal app to help me keep track of my weight and what I eat. While I'm not big on counting calories, it does help give me perspective on what I put in my body versus how much goes out.
While I won't be posting daily with the tedious details of what I eat or every bit of exercise, I will post about my triumphs and I'm sure some failures. Hopefully, putting this out there for the world will make me have some accountability.
