- What's your secret? No secret, just good 'ol diet and exercise! I think diet is the wrong word to use here, though. I'm not following any crazy fad, or taking any pills. They put nutrition facts on the box for a reason people! Better yet, eat more things that don't come in boxes. Fresh vegetables are your friends! They are still delicious without being drenched in cheese or butter. Also, I used to drink Dr. Pepper like it was keeping me alive! Soda has no health benefits whatsoever! I quit cold turkey and haven't had any in over 5 weeks! Water does your body good!
- How do you work out? My dear husband bought me a treadmill when I decided to turn my life around. I started off slow and walked for 30 or more minutes a day. Now I can jog for an extended period of time. I also started P90X about 2 weeks ago. It's going well so far, but it's only for people who are willing to commit. After this, I plan on doing Insanity, also from the makers of P90X. We'll see how this goes!
-Why are you doing this? I'm doing this because I'm sick of being embarrassed for other people to see pictures of me. I'm sick of not looking good in anything I wear. I want to run around with my son and not feel like dying. I want to give him a sibling sometime soon. I've been making unhealthy choices for a while, and it's time to change. I was about 140 lbs when I joined the Navy. Over the 18 months of training, I gained 60lbs. I was 200lbs when I found out I was pregnant. Gained 45lbs over 41 weeks of pregnancy, then dropped down around 210lbs shortly after my son's birth. My husband was deployed for 6 months and instead of getting healthy then, I ate myself to a whopping 251lbs. It's time to take control of my body!
-How long has it been? I started just about 5 weeks ago. In those 5 weeks, I've lost just over 11lbs and 24 inches from various parts of my body!
Thank you for the support, and maybe I can inspire someone else to change their ways!
