So I have had a HUGE kick in the butt to get it moving. And it came from TV of all places?! I was watching Netflix and going thru TV shows I wanted to watch. (I like seeing all episodes in the series) So I have been watching Buffy, and Roseanne, and The Kingdom, and Scrubs, and I came across Ruby! Ruby is a show on the style network, and it is an amazing motivation for me at least. She was over 700 lbs at her heaviest, and got down to 333lbs as of what I have seen so far. (She started the show at 470 something) I am far from that, even the 333lbs, but I am not where I feel I should be and want to be. I weighed 193lbs before I got pregnant with Andrew, and when I left the hospital I weighted 203lbs. (Mostly Water weight for the petocin.) I gained about 5lbs while I was pregnant, and have since lost my baby weight (something people said I would never do... I didn't have that much to start with because I didn't eat for two. I ate healthy for myself and my baby.)
As of this morning I weight 180lbs, I have been loosing everything I step on the scale. It just has been a slow pace. I made a new deal with Kevin last night. If I can show him that I am really committed to getting in shape by working out every day for 50 days then he will buy me a exercise bike for the apartment. Out gym at the complex doesn't have a bike, and I love to bike. Plus I can't say I'd workout if I could go to the gym because I have to watch Andrew and I am home alone, because it will be in out living room and I can do it with Andrew around, and sleeping. So I did my work out last night. The treadmill was broken when I got down there and that is how I have been working out. SO instead of coming home and calling it quits I used the stair stepper and worked out on it for 15 minutes. I felt great that I did do my workout and I am working hard to find ways to sneak workouts in during the day. Like a workout video while the kids nap, or push ups and sit ups. I also need to get my diet worked out. I am not sure how I want to do it, but I know that working out is only half the battle. I need to make sure that I am fueling my body and taking the best care of it that I can. I did weight watchers several years ago and lost a bit and I am thinking of fallowing that plan loosely and seeing about learning a better nutrition plan as I keep working. I know that I can't diet that what ever I do will have to be all my life. That's why I want to bike, because I will have to use it everyday for the rest of my life to keep healthy, not just while I am working to my goal. I just know that right now working out every night is my main goal and it will help me earn the tools I need to make it to my goal.
I weigh 180lbs, I'd love to loose at least 50lbs, and they go from there. I know that there are people who think that I will never be thin and that I am just big and will always be big, BUT NO I WON'T. I should be 110-120 for my height, and being this much over weight puts me at greater health risks. I don't just want to be thin I want to be healthy enough to see my baby grow up and see my grand-babies. I need this for me. I need to drop this dead weight before it causes a big Health problem, or worse. It I could drop 50lbs before I get pregnant that would best for me, and for the baby. But I want to be pregnant by my 26th birthday so I don't have years and years to keep at this pace. I have to get my butt in gear and get healthy.
Tonight after I get Andrew to bed I'm heading to the gym and workout. I'll post more about it later and as I learn my nutrition choices and BMI and Weight Drops, and anything that has to do with this new Journey. I am also thinking of doing a weekly Youtube update on how becoming Healthy is going. Maybe Wednesdays since that is my weigh day.
