So, I'm starting a new journal. I was on here 4 years ago and so much has changed. DH has finished college and we're back home. I've had another beautiful baby and now have 2 of each. They are ages 8, 6, 4 and 20 months. We're a homeschooling family. DH has ministry 3 nights a week and I take a class once. So there's defiantly no time for hitting a gym. I plan to buy wii fit, if they ever go back in stores here in Canada. I've been trying to buy one for over a month.
Last time I went to the Dr, I weighed 150lbs. Since then, I've lost an inch off my thigh and a half inch of my waist, so I know I've lost a bit, maybe 2lbs or so. I'm buying a body fat scale tomorrow as their on sale.
I think in the long term, I'd like to get down to 125-130. I prefer setting a short term goal for my ticker though. More important than weight is measurements. I'd like for my waist to be 29", my hips 37" and my upper arm to be 9.5". I'm starting Tuesday, Monday is a holiday here. I'll update then with measurements and weight. This morning my waist was just under 32", my hips almost 40". I didn't do my arm. My thigh was 23". I guess if I had to pick a number for my thigh it'd be 20.5.
Because I spent years dealing with an eating disorder, I have logs all over the place that I tend to come across and find my old stats. I find it funny that some of my measurements are the same at 135 and 145. I guess it's just where muscle is or isn't at the time.
In 2004, I hit the gym 5 days a week and put on over 10lbs. My stats said it was all muscle and only 1.2lbs of fat. But, as the trainer said, I was putting on muscle and loosing no fat so I just looked huge. I continued to work out 5 days a week while PG, up to 32 weeks, in 2005. I haven't been able to go to the gym since then and I really miss it.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to a healthier me, one goal at a time. I'd love some company along the way. So if anyone wants to pop by my journal frequently to check up on me and/or link me their journal, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's to a healthier year for us all!

), a light string cheese, a light yogurt, or some light soup. I think those are all good snacks, and sometimes I will have a small bowl of special K with nonfat milk if I am hungry at night.
