So my sister (and I believe her roommate at the time?) coined the term "Stop Being Fat" which is slowly turning into a "Stop Being Fat" diet. And I have officially joined the team.
I think back when I got married and weighed 135. Even then I was like "Dang, I wish I would have lost another 10 pounds." What I wouldn't GIVE to be 135 now. And Im the only one to blame. By the time I get home from picking up Ava I use the "Im tired" excuse. I also use the "I dont have time", "I need to get laundry done" and sometimes the plain ol' "Im lazy" excuse.
Before I gave birth to Ava I was a good solid 145. I was working out at the gym, had a personal trainer, and ate right. Now, at 176, I haven't worked out in weeks, I sometimes skip dinner or have a small piece of toast, or go through the drive-thru at lunch. I am almost at my heaviest that I was in high school. And when I look at those pictures, I KNOW Im overweight. And what does that teach Ava? With the rise in childhood obesity, I put my foot down to be a healthy and active mommy.
A separate blog to come on my journey to being an active and healthy mom and wife. For now, "Stop Being Fat, Mama!"

OMG! I SWEAR I WAS GOING TO START SEPARATE STOP BEING FAT BLOG FOR MYSELF! Great minds think alike. I thought tracking it online with people watching would be super inspiring. I'm probably at a hearty 147 myself. I had to go to the DMV to renew my license this year. They were like, "Is there any info on your license that needs to change (other than the address)?" I looked down at the weight: 126. I hesitated. Then said, "Nope." Cuz I figured that would inspire me too :-) I also want to say that you are awesome. You freakin' had a baby for crying out loud. AND you said you're not even at the heaviest you ever were. Don't worry. Steph. Keep on, truckin'. Let's do a 5k together or something.
ReplyDeleteWe were soooo seperated at birth! I sooooooo feel the exact same way! At the end of a work day you are tired and its like time again for the next day. So little time in a day. I just started school to become a teacher so that I can have more time with my kids.
ReplyDeleteGo girl. I have people squinting at me now when they look at my debit card...thanks BofA for having a picture on it and never expiring...bitches.
