Starting the path to a new me!
So over the year I've def let myself go. I am currently 100lbs heavier then I was on my wedding day. I am 40lbs heavier then I was the day I delivered my son. I let myself get to this point. I started enjoying food a little, ok a lot! I stopped running and just figured being a mom would keep me in shape. Boy was I wrong! For the last two years I've seen this but I haven't wanted to do the work to get my shape back. First because heck it's hard work and second off it's hard to do when you have a lil one around. I could sit here and give you all my excuses but that's all they are. I need to put my health and weight at a priority to things. I don't wanna be the mom who can play with their kid. Yesterday while looking through wedding photos I saw a pic of me getting ready an I'm wearing on of my husbands shirts and a pair of size 3 bitty shorts. I had to tuck the front of the shirt in so you could tell I had shorts on. I still occasional steal that shirt of his but now it fits like a regular shirt! I can't believe how far I've gone. So today I got back on the treadmill, which I recently got. I walked for 42 mins. I made it 1.56 miles and burned 224 calories. May not seem like a lot to some of you but to me it's amazing! I didn't get this size overnight so it's gonna take time to get back to where I want to be which is 130lbs. Due to the ms I have a harder time working out. Being on my feet hurts so walking so far without dying was a giant accomplishment because my feet could handle it. My hope is to get on the treadmill every day and hopefully stay at the same pace as the day before and hopefully in a week or so be able to improve how much I can do but for now I'm thrilled with my progress. One day I will fit my husbands shirt like I did on my wedding day!
