I have not started a diet. I've decided to change my life. This is not a new years resolution. This is a new way of life. I will get healthy and I will love it!
In April of 2014 I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life (even while pregnant). I decided that I wasn't ever going to be there again, so I started eating right, and I bought an activity tracker (more on that in future post), and I worked out once a day for 6 months, and I lost 20lbs. Then the dreaded triple infection (ear, sinus, and upper respiratory) hit followed by the holidays and I fell off the wagon a bit. Though I didn't gain any of the weight back, I certainly lost tone and muscle mass.
Well here we are, back on track and ready to go. Despite the fact that I'm not thrilled with these photos, I'll give in and give you my day one.
Now I'm not anticipating ever being a size two. It's not realistic and I've always had what they call "birthing hips" haha. I'm okay with that. I just want to be healthy. I want to eat well (aside from the few completely acceptable cheat meals) and I want to exercise. I want to make sure that my son knows what a healthy lifestyle looks like, so he can have one for his entire life. This is not about getting skinny this is about being able to run a mile without wanting to die, being able to climb the stairs 2 at a time without having to catch my breath, and being able to just be comfortable in my own skin.
