Hi, and thanks for coming to see my blog. I am hoping this will be a motivating factor for me to finally lose weight and be fit. A bit of background on me - I was a normal weight in high school. At 5 feet 1 3/4 inches tall, I was about 115 to 125 all through high school. I was a cheerleader, was in the high school marching band, and worked a full time job that had me on my feet the entire shift. I stayed active and could eat whatever I wanted. I always heard that all that eating would catch up to me, but it didn't really click until I got out of high school and all the activity stopped. My weight started to creep up and I was constantly around 160 pounds. When I got married at the age of 27, I was 160 pounds. I was going to Curves 5 or 6 times a week and was on my feet 50 or so hours at work every week. I got up to 203 pounds the first 6 months I was married.
At 203 pounds, I got pregnant with my first child and actually lost weight during pregnancy. I was 199 when I had my first son, Austin. I continued to lose weight after I had him and then I don't know if I got struck with some baby blues or post-partem depression, but I just started to eat and sleep and lay around all the time. By the time I got pregnant with my 2nd baby about a year and a half later, I was 237 pounds. I lost weight with the second pregnancy as well. When I had my second son, Ethan, I was 220 pounds.
I was so excited to finally have Ethan and to start working out and eating healthier, but it's easier said than done! My lowest weight after having Ethan was 204 pounds and I was shocked and excited and I vowed to never gain another pound from that day on.
Yet here I sit today at 221 pounds. Let the journey begin!
