Hey guys! A lot has happened since I've last posted. I'm a mommy...again! I have now pushed out 2 beautiful little girls and they hold my heart. My babies are happy and healthy. That being said, I would like to get back to being happy and healthy myself. Happy with my body, that is. As I write this blog post, I feel like I'm complaining about nothing. I've never been grossly overweight, even while pregnant. But I do have plenty of areas that I would like/need to work on. This is hard for me because I am at my heaviest weight. I'm 5'3 and I weigh 161 lbs. My baby is 11 weeks old. I gained 14 lbs while carrying her. Many people have told me that I still look good and that I'm not as big as I think I am, but we all know that everyone in the world could say that but if you don't feel good about yourself, it means nothing. I'm not telling you my weight to brag or anything like that. I want to hold myself accountable for my lifestyle. Starting today, I am beginning a lifestyle change.
For those of you that don't know my story, I was pregnant in 2013 and had my 1st daughter in January of 2014. Then on June 16 of that same year, I found out that I was pregnant again with my 11 week old. I had her in February of 2015. I am now in recovery mode.
I have several goals that I would like to accomplish:
1. Get to my goal weight of 135 lbs.
2. Be active at least 3x/week
3. Gain more energy
4. Feel better in my clothes
I plan to do this by:
1. Working out 4x/week
2. Tracking all meals
3. Holding myself accountable through my social media platforms
4. Getting more sleep, on average at least 7 hours/night
I will make sure to keep you all posted on my progress with my weight loss journey. I am vowing to be a happier, healthier me. If you have any tips, healthy recipes, or anything to help me along the way, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. Don't forget to add me on My Fitness Pal Watch for videos on my YouTube channel. I will be talking about my weight loss journey there, as well as on my Instagram. All of the links will be below. Be blessed!
