September when by too fast. I was talking to my mother-in-law about this the other day and realized it was the LAST DAY of September.
So here goes... I know there are plenty of people out there in this tiny world that struggle with weight or lack of will power. Some feel overwhelmed and powerless. It is not easy to feel great about yourself if none of your clothes fit. There are people I know that eat good and do what they should and still can't lose weight.
I never had trouble with my weight until my mid 20's. There were lots of things that happened in my life to trigger weight gain, but I was not going to let circumstances dictate my life. After our third child was born I was losing the weight and feeling great... until... There was an incident and it changed me. I was no longer going out of the house. The house was locked up tight and shades drawn. I went inside of me and began to gain. It was only recently that I realized what happened and decided I would make changes.
Over the last 15 years I have fought my weight and lack of will power. High cholesterol and "fatty liver" have become a reality as well. NO MORE! I am done and have an awesome new found strength to continue the path to a better liver and lower my cholesterol, not to mention my weight.
I began my journey to a healthier me September 21, 2016. On the 20th I weighed and boy was I shocked. The scale said 210 pounds. That is 4 pounds more than my heaviest while pregnant with our 3rd child. Today I weighed again, 201.4! Not only have I lost some weight, but I was able to get into a pair of jeans.
It sounds like my main concern is my weight, pure vanity right? I know by eating real food will help my health in the long run. No junk food only meat, veggies, and a few healthy dairy.
What should you expect during these next 31 days? I plan to give updates on my progress, photos, recipes that I have made or want to make, and hopefully have a guest writer or two.
Until tomorrow...
Tina
