I always start each year with good intentions and the same goals. Lose the baby weight that I have hung onto for the past 7 years. Be stronger and healthier. I swear I lose the same 10lbs and get nowhere near my 70lb goal. Maybe this year will be my year. I have entered 4 dietbets in the past and lost all of them. Motiviation wasnt there I guess. I joined stepbet in the fall and and have won all three I entered. I am on my 4th step bet now. It starts tommorrw. Dietbet started today. Its a six month one so maybe Ill e more sucessful. I am also doing a whole 30 challenge. Its a paleo diet that focuses on changing your relationship with food. I did it last January and completed it. It was hard but i never felt better in my life. I didnt lose any weight but I had a alot of non scale victories. I didnt exercise much during my whole 30 nor did I stick to portion sizes. This time I will be exercising twice daily and minding my portions.
More about me:
I am 34 years old, mom of two kids, military spouse and current stay at home mom. I have a 7 year old son with aspergers and a 3 year old fireball daughter. We currently live in NY. This is our 3rd year here and we will be moving to a new military base in the summer. I pray its in Georgia, my home state. I want to be closer to family again. I havnt seen my family in one year. We are saving for the impendng move and didnt go visit family this year. They didnt come see us either. Childcare up here is expensive and hard to find so I have been a stay at home mom for the past three years. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids more than life itself. They are the best things to happen to me. But I am more than ready to get back out in the working world full time.
Have you seen the ABC Show American Housewife? I swear they must have a hidden camera in my house to get ideas for that show. I am exactly like the show's main character Kate. I live in West Point NY she lives in Westport CT. She lives in a community full of uppity slim fitness oriented housewives and she is the 2nd fattest mom. I live on a very fitness oriented military installation and I swear I am the 2nd fattest mom. I feel like a freakshow sometimes going to pick up my son from school standning in line with all the skinny athlectic moms who complain they are fat when my thigh is as wide as thier whole body. She is grumpy and negative and sassy. So am I. She has a child with special needs similar to my sons.
Well Heres to a new year that will hopefully bring postive changes for me. I plan on working really hard and not giving up this time. Happy New year again yall!!!
