My husband and I started a new chapter in our lives this week. Before we got married I was 145 pounds and fairly active. I went hiking a lot. Now 3 years, 3 pregnancies, and 4 kids later I am 231 pounds. I told myself each time I got pregnant take I would be good, try to eat healthy and exercise. But I gave into every craving. Which personally I feel is okay when your pregnant, because frankly pregnancy sucks, at least for me it did. But I digress. Now that there are no more pregnancies in my future, I have no more excuses.
This week we have committed to be better each day. We are changing the way we eat and we are exercising every day. We started Beachbody's 21 day fix and it's kicking my butt. I am so sore, but it's going to be worth it. After a lot of research we also started the Mediterranean diet.
Honestly, I don't care so much about the weight. That's not why I'm doing this. I just want to be able to keep up with my kids, or at least try. I want to be able to help them as they grow, to go in adventures with them. I want to be around to see my grandkids, and what's more I want to be able to play with my grandkids. I know that they say that you should want to change your life style for yourself, but if I focused on me I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't care enough to. My kids and my amazing husband are why I am changing my life. I want nothing more then to be the best me I can possibly be for them.
