Past Time

OK so this is the first blog I have ever done and I hope to inspire someone with my story. I hope you enjoy reading my journey to living healthy again.

All my life I was the skinny girl with no girlie features. I heard all of the skinny jokes a million times and I always wanted to gain weight and boy did I. At the end of my 8th grade year I weighed 90 pounds. At the beginning of my freshman year I weighed 155. I shot up and out and well I looked like a girl. I was not comfortable with my weight so I went on a strict diet. I gave up all chocolate, caffeine and I started eating a lot better. I drank water all the time, ate a grapefruit before every meal and ate off of a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. I learned portion control and how to eat the right way. After losing all the weight I was happy with myself.

When I was still in high school I was in the best shape of my life. I worked out all the time between being on the softball team and a cadet in JROTC. My senior year of high school I weighed 125-130 and I loved it. I ended up getting pregnant Feb of 2005 and had my precious little girl in Nov of 2005. During my pregnancy I gained over 80 lbs and I had a lot of complications. The day my labor was induced I weighed 208-210. The first few months after having her I lost weight just not enough. I hadn't been that big in some years. It took me exactly 4 years to get back down to 150. I was so excited.

Fast forward a few months, guess what I am pregnant again. In Nov of 09 I found I was pregnant with my second daughter. I only gained 30 lbs and I lost 22 in a week after having her. I had a c-section with her and my stomach muscles were cut in two. I had her in July of 2010. I got back down to 150 but couldn't get down any farther.

On November 29, 2012, I had to have my gallbladder removed and I had just got my stomach muscles retrained and was working on getting my stomach toned up. Now I am back in the same boat after having my daughter.

I want to feel good about myself and get back in shape. My husband and I talked and joining the gym with him would give us something to do together. I became a member 1 week ago and I have went almost everyday.

Now that you have a background of how my weight has been I will start a daily post about my workout routine, where I am at in my goals and what I am eating.

My goal weight is 130 with 15% bmi. My starting weight is 153 with 24.4% bmi!

Follow me and I will keep you up to date, give you advice, listen, and help in anyways I can.

Thanks and much luck in your journey!
