ENOUGH,

I am so sick of feeling so gross. So low-energy, so fat, so unmotivated, so...frumpy?

I'm 23.

These are my prime years!

I put all this time, effort, energy, and money into my beautiful kids, and completely put myself to the side. I don't feel good, not like I should be feeling.

So, its time for a change! I'm starting with a personal trainer and I'm going to learn how to work out. To lose weight do you ask? No. So I can feel strong, and confident and so I can get my energy back. The weight will come off with the lifestyle change. I'm not one who has difficulty losing weight, it comes off as long as I eat well, but most importantly when I'm exercising and feeling motivated to be active. Its hard getting time for myself when I have 2 kids to look after, a house to keep up and all the various things in between. But I'm going to make it a priority, I'm going to make it work.

I deserve it. Jon deserves it. My kids have a young mom and I want to make the most of it- I should have tons of energy and be in good shape!

I have a plan to start with and I will take it day by day.

1) Start with the trainer
2) Cut out pop/juice (I rarely drink alcohol so that isn't a weight or health issue)
3) Drink 12 glasses of water a day
4) More vegetables and fruits
5) When I'm looking for something to munch on at night, I'm going to make Rooibos tea
6) Get rid of the junk food in the house altogher- thats right, in the garbage.
7) Find a yoga class to go to once a week
8) Cut as much sodium as possible out of my diet
9) Eat all meals at home except for an occasional treat
10) Let myself have a treat once in awhile, but plan it and not give into "cravings"


Wish me luck. I'm going to feel like a new person before Christmas!
