I write this as I watch the Patriots/Colts, 4th quarter, tied, 10:26 to go. Come on Colts. (I am not a NFL fan, but I lived in Indy for a short time so I will cheer them on.)
So my weight loss journey has been a long one. Ups, downs and stuck. Lets start by telling you about my family. My DH and I have been married 7.5 years (we met 10 years ago this Feb
). We have a DD age 4.5yrs and a DS age 2yrs. We live in Auburn, GA, northeast of Atlanta.
Weight loss journey goes something like this...before kids, my husband and I ate out all the time and I put on the weight. I got up to 250lbs. Back then I was working and we did weight watchers at the office. With weight watchers I got down to 217lbs. I felt great, I looked better but I got stuck. I started Jazzercise in June and by Oct I was pregnant with my DD. I was tired and sick so I cancelled Jazzercise and put on a ton of weight during the pregnancy. Upwards of 70 lbs!! I ate whatever I felt like. Ridiculous!! And I did not exercise. When my daughter was 6 months old, a friend invited me to Jazzercise. I went and slowly and became addicted. When I got pregnant with my son I was down to 240lbs. I Jazzercised while pregnant with my son up until my 8th month. I only gained about 35 lbs. After he was born I worked hard doing online weight watchers and got down to a low of 232lbs.
This past Holiday season killed me. I gained 8 lbs in 2 months. That was my biggest gain since pregnancy. I am sick of it. I am making major changes..not a diet, making changes in how I eat.
Todays stats:
I Jazzercise 4-5 times a week. I workout for 1 hour and am in the zone for 35-45 mins. I usually burn 350-500 calories per Jazzercise class. I workout hard and sweat a lot!! I love it. I have the exercise part down great!
I have started counting my calories now. Calories in, calories burned...too many calories gain weight. Watching my portion sizes is very important Easy. No diet fad just science. My husband is also counting his calories so having his support is helping. We have been doing this about 3 weeks and I feel a change. I get full much faster. And I am not craving snacks and sweets mid-afternoon.
I drink water like crazy. I really don't drink anything else. I usually drink 5 bottles of water a day. I have got water down
So that is me. I am going to start a diary here to help me see my ups and downs. I know I can do this. I can't wait to meet others and support you on your journey.
