Today is the beginning of my journey to be a healthier mama and wife. They always say that its best to do a weight loss journey if people know about it (Who are "they" anyways?) So here I am on the first day of my "Stop Being Fat, Mama" journey letting the whole world who I am and where Im going.
I weighed in this morning at 175. There, the truth is out. I was 183 when I gave birth to my daughter.... a year ago. There's no excuse on why I got that heavy other than laziness. By the end of the day Im spent and would rather prop my feet up on the couch then put on a sports bra and go to the gym. That ends today.
I will use this blog as a journal to express my frustrations and excitement. I will track my exercise for the day and what I am eating. I will use it as a sounding board when Im craving a piece of chocolate cake or an extra basket of chips with my meal.
If you're out there, encouragement is welcomed.

Stephanie, way to go!! I am finding myself in the same position as you, seeing that it's been much too long after giving birth to still pull the "I just had a baby" excuse. I had lost 30lbs when Joseph was about 6 months old but then procedeed to gain back 10 of it after hitting a plateau and giving up. Since moving to Alaska I have gotten back on the weight loss bandwagon. I have 50 lbs to lose to get into my healthy weight range. It seems like an incredibly daunting task doesn't it? I have learned that it takes daily effort and self control but after 2 months I feel like making healthy eating choices is becoming second nature. And I am eating way less than I was two months ago! (still working on getting the exercise down consistently) but just know there is hope that it gets easier if you can stick it out. Once you start working out regularly you will be hooked and not want to miss a workout because of how much better you will feel. Keep focused and stay in control! You can do it! I will follow your blog since I am on the same journey and you can always email me when you are discouraged and we can comiserate together Lol.
