So her we go!!! I am 5' 0'' tall and weight 212 pounds. I am creeping into a size 20!!! I am an ordinary 35 year old working mother of 1 and wife of a Barber.
I am indeed an emotional eater. When I am happy I eat, when I am sad I eat, when I am bored I eat, when I am stressed I eat. So pretty much everytime I feel anything which is 30 different things a day I eat. I eat what is near and what is easy. Food is everywhere. Ironically I eat so much that I rarely feel hungry but I would like to start eating only when I feel hungry. That is my goal. I am also starting to track my food and calorie intake on the Lose It app.
I started the year at 210 pounds. I dropped down to 207.25 in a week, then proceeded to back up to 210 then surpass what my starting weight was and am now at 212. Well what happened? I had a plan and was going to start a blog. This was after being off of work for a week to spend with out son during his holiday break. I had groceries, menus and time :) As the month went on the less time I had nad the less energy. So no workouts and no healthier options for meals.
Such is life so I am recommitting myself to my goal and using money as my motivation. There will never be enough time and once I get on a regular exercise routine and lose some weight I will get more eneregy.
I will meet and excede my 4% and you will too!!! Let's do it and prove to ourselves that we deserve better than high blood pressure, headaches, disagreeable stomaches from too much fried food and just feeling miserable and uncomfortable!!! My first challenge starts on the 10th but I am going to make better choices all weekend. If I fail I still have a few days to get it together!
