I was reminded that Oct 5, 2005 I started a lifestyle change. I started a weight loss plan that made me a different person. I lost approximately, 112 lbs in about a year and kept it off for another year....then I began slowly adding a few lbs here and there and then I got pregnant and while I maintained a healthy gain (about 28-30lbs) I haven't been able to loose all the weight. So here I am again...approx 75lbs heavier than I was at my lowest. What does that mean??
It means...I have lost my focus, I have lost my reason/purpose for weight loss. I am not in a good place for leading a healthy example for my family.
I have to start a new plan to be a healthier mom and wife for me, my family and my future.
The challenges I feel I am facing are...leading a healthy lifestyle while being a full time student, mom and wife. Working Full time and ...living a life on a tight budget. I no longer have the funds to spend on a fitness club, trainer or special supplements and higher cost foods. I no longer have a schedule that is flexible to do cardio whenever it fits my whim.
I have a schedule that permits cardio either at the crack of dawn OR....with a beautiful little boy in a stroller. I have a budget that is stretched by bills and decisions to provide the best for my son and husband...and living on coffee and cheap and easy in btwn. That is not healthy. So while I make sure my son gets fruits and veggies am I doing the same for myself???
When does bath time for little boys become more important than 20 min on the treadmill?? When you become a mommy...it all changes.
Let's hope I can find a focus that works for all my needs and my family.
