So I have been moving upward steadily on the scale for the past ten years or so and to be fair I have never been a "skinny"girl I have always been overweight and thankfully until recently my weight distribution has been pretty evenly porportioned. Then as we probably all have been told " the older you get the harder it will be to keep the weight off". Got to admit I always felt like its no big deal but I never did much of anything to lose weight, at least not for a long, long time.
When I became pregnant and was tested for gestational diabetes and had been found to be just on the cusp it really hit me, if I did not shed my fat suit and leave it in my past, my health would dwindle. So I began to plan which btw is my thing I am big on planning but not so good with the follow through especially when it comes to working out and saying good bye to me bud and bff sugar....sigh...but since I have been breast feeding I gotta swear off my beloved sugar for the sake of my daughter's health and peaceful sleep. And it has not been as bad as I thought. Then again it has only been 2 weeks so what do I really know right.
So I am on one of my favorite past times, youtube and I saw a vlog about diet bet and decided to come look at the site, sure enough this always planner has made new plans and here I am quite literally hoping and finally off my butt praying that I make my short term goal of 4% of my body weight...it seems so insignificant really but its where my runners hit the threadmill because I have to make it. For the sake of my health and what I want my daughter to grow up seeing as normal...something I never saw because my mother has always been the "skinny" girl...and that is a healthy lifestyle.
