In 2009 I busted my butt to lose 25 lbs, got married, moved to Nebraska, and began my first call. In January of 2010 my weight loss stalled and I realized I was pregnant. I worked hard through my pregnancy not to over gain but in the final trimester I put on a ton of water weight. The great part of that was how quickly it disappeared! 2 weeks after Hannah was born I was down to only 10 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. Unfortunately stress and unhealthy eating habits have gotten the best of me and I am now right back where I started in 2009 after graduating Seminary.
Looking at the baptism pictures from this past weekend I was angry with myself for falling back into bad habits at the first opportunity. I want to be a fit and healthy mom for Hannah! I want to set a positive example for her and for my congregation! I want to keep up with my husband who has become a runner!
Starting today I am making some changes in my life to help me become all those things. Knowing that I struggle with dedication I am writing this blog for two reasons: 1.) to have a place to record my goals, struggles, and successes and 2.) to have accountability. If I publish these thoughts for others to read then I have to follow through with them!
So tomorrow I weigh-in and take measurements and I will post them online for all to see. I hope this proves to be he motivation I need to stay committed, and perhaps it will motivate some of you too!
