My New Journey!
I’m currently at my heaviest weight ever (outside of being pregnant) and I’m OVER it! I’d like to have another baby in the near future and want to get in better shape before I wreck my body again!
My weight as of now is 191…OMG…I want to barf then cry as I type that…but anyway. There’s no time like the present to take action!!!
Here goes…
Because it’s worked for me in the past, I’m going to jump start my weight loss with Slim Fast. I know that it’s not a permanent fix and that if I return to eating junk I will gain back everything I’ve lost plus some. I’m going to have a Slim Fast shake for breakfast and lunch. And as an added bonus I have coupons for them!!!! For snacks I will eat things such as popcorn (low or no butter & salt), rice cakes, fruits, & veggies. I will do the Slim Fast thing for the next couple of months while I research and figure out what type of lifestyle eating changes are going to work best for me.
As for my biggest problem…drinking…no not alcohol…but SODA! It’s totally my weakness. Typically I have about 4 or 5 cans of soda a day. Gasp, I know! I’m not trying to have a constant headache or anything like that, so I’m not going to quit the soda cold turkey. For now, I’m cutting back to 1 a day then would eventually like to cut soda out of my diet completely as I don’t want Raegan (and any future child{ren}) getting addicted to it! I know that water is a big part of getting and staying healthy so I’m starting with 1 - 33.8 oz bottle a day. Once I get used to that I’ll up it to 2 a day and so on as needed!
Finally…I know that without exercise no diet is going to work! While I would love to join a gym, I just don’t have the money! So working out at home it is!!! I’m at home all day and Raegan takes at least 2 – 30 minute naps a day, so I should be able to squeeze in some sort of exercise. I’ve asked lots of friends and several have had success with the Slim in Six workout regimen. So I’ve got my copy on DVD and will be starting it on Monday (it’s at my sister’s house)! I’m also going to take every opportunity to be up and moving around the house be it vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, doing laundry, and/or any other household cleaning rather than sitting down to watch TV!
Hopefully putting this all out there will help hold me to it! Guess we’ll see! Here I am now (taken today). Aren’t I lovely?!?!?! I’ll keep you all posted on my progress (hopefully anyway)!

YAY! I'm glad to see you are getting some motivation! I use the excuse that it is just too hot to work out all the time. But if you do workouts on DVD at home, that is no excuse. You need more water now since it is so so hot. Anytime you think you are hungry, drink water. Dehyrdation makes your mind think you are hungry. Good Luck! I'll be checkin up on you! xoxo
