So I am one day into my new life and I feel confident. I have tried dieting my whole life and one timeI was successful, but that was because I restricted myself from Carbs.....and this is where it got me, heavier than ever! So I am NOT going with all the fad diets, I am going to eat healthy and excercise. So what is healthy? I am learning that as I go. What is good for you and what's not. Fast food-OUT, Sugary Snacks-OUT, Fried, Greasy, Foods-OUT!! Veggies-IN, Fresh Fruits-IN, Healthy non processed meats-IN. Going to start my excercise today and see how that goes. I am a little...well actually ALOT out of shape. Probably will start out with a slow walk on the tredmill and some stretching and ab excercises. I love the food journal that I bought. I am tracking every morsel that goes into my mouth and I had 8 points left last night. It was late and I didn't want to use them up so late. Today I will try to get them all in, because I want this to be a healthy new lifestyle that I am creating with healthy foods, not one where I starve myself and then binge when I decide that it's not working. Today I am going to head over to my mom and dad's to get some fresh veggies out of the garden, which is good for me I am getting out of the house, which has become my haven, and getting my daughter outside to some fun with her little friend Ariana.
Ariana is my best friend, Michelle's, little girl and she is two weeks older than my daughter. We found out we were pregnant on the same day and were due the same day. Michelle went a week early and I went a week over, since she is my first and only. I love spending time with them becuae well....she's my best friend and she understands what I am going through. After that going to head over to my other best friend, my sister, Misty. Love ya sis if you are reading. She has two little boys who are the light of my life as well. When she had Tyler, her oldest, it changed my life. Don't want to really go into my past too much, because it is the past and I am not going to dwell on it, but he was like an angel to me. Gavin, the youngest is my little sweetie. The most behaved child EVER! Well at least when he is at my house :)
My mom is my inspiration, I want to be just like her. She is loving, caring, supportive, and would give me or misty her last dollar. So you see, I have support. That is not the reason that I am so overweight. I am still trying to figure that out and I am hoping that I wll through this transformation I am planning on. I need to be healthy, and active and teach my child those same things. With the record number of childhood obesity's that we see today, I don't want her to be a statistic. I want her to be Adalyn Grace, her own person.....In CHARGE of her life who doesn't let food run her life. Food is NO longer in control of me. I am taking my life back!!!
Well, I am headed off to enjoy a day of activity!!! Enjoy everyone :)
