This is not going to be a comfortable blog to do. I am overweight and very self-conscious about it. But if I do not confront this head on, I will never change.
So, I am going to document my progress on exercising daily and weekly I will take a picture of myself, weigh myself, and chart my measurements. I am so not excited about putting myself out there like this; but, I know that if I don't I will not change the way I want to. I need the accountability.

There are a few challenges I see with doing a blog like this:
- I am home by myself with two children all day! And we know that it is hard to do things with them.
- We are poor so I can't afford a gym membership, especially one with child care.
- I have bad knees so I can't do the good aerobic work-outs like I would like to.
- I live it UTAH! So it is frigid outside at least 6 months out of the year.
- And last, but certainly not least, I am scared that I will fail and everyone will know about it!
But, I WILL DO IT!
So here I am today:
My dress size: 14
With just my underwear on I weigh: 190.0 lbs
My hips measure: 45.5"
My waist measures: 36.5"
My thighs measure: 27.5"
My bust measures: 41"
Now, granted, I am still nursing every 3-4 hours, so I know that when I stop nursing him my bust will shrink a lot, but still.
Here are my goals:
- Each day I will go for a 30 minute walk minumum
- Each day I will drink at least 8 cups of water
- I will lose 10 pounds before April 19th
I am going to be doing workouts and exercises that anyone with problems like myself can do. I hope to be able to inspire other mothers in my same position to change like I will be.
Wish me luck friends!
I don't think I could put myself out there like you are..... you go girl! I am behind you on this one!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I'm so behind you! Push those babies on your walk and you'll be well on your way! Good luck, Lyssa!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome! I am home every day until 10:40 and after 4:20 and would be totally happy to take the kids if you wanted to go to the RB on a regular basis. We could automatically set up every tuesday and thursday morning or something. Brooklynn asks for "ninny" all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration! All your points are my points too, I am glad the weather is getting warmer making it easier and more desirable to venture outside.Just keep working at it you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteBest of Luck Alyssa! I know that you can do it! :)
