In December of 2013, I shared with my friends & family that I was struggling with my weight -- I had to buy new jeans to visit family for an extended trip (I only had 1 pair that fit!)! Traumatizing.
But, that kicked me in the rear & got me back on track! Being pregnant with twins & on bed rest for 3+ months had taken it's toll on me. I refused to just give up though & accept being fat because I'm a Mom. I would much rather be an example of health & fitness for our boys! And anyone else that cares to be inspired with me.
So, the journey began..... I rejoined Weight Watchers (it had worked well for me after our first baby & a few times before -- quitting smoking, new marriage weight, etc) & I ordered the beach body program T25. Working out has always been something I've wanted to do but never really stuck with anything. I thought, 25 minutes a day? Even with this crazy life of ours, I could do that! The workouts were NO JOKE for those 25 minutes but I've gotten stronger & stronger. So amazed! And, I've actually stuck with it!
It's been 3 1/2 months since my journey started & I've been sharing a daily collage of food pictures on my private fb page. A friend mentioned she was going to start blogging her garden pictures (which I LOVE seeing) so she didn't clutter up her page. It registered that more than half of my friends & family have probably hidden me from their newsfeeds because they don't care about my food/fitness/health improvements, lol So, I decided to bring it here. I'm no pro, I'm not perfect, just struggling along like everyone else doing the best I can. :)
