Yesterday was my 7 months anniversary.
It's been a tough ride. Some days I don't feel like exercising. Some days I don't want to make the best choices for my body. Some days, I want to write everything down.
Weight Loss is a very slow process. Before, I would yo yo diet. I had great success with WW after my eldest's birth. I managed to lose all sixty pounds that I'd put on when I was pregnant with him. However, it was hard to maintain cause I'd not really learned how to make good choices.
Not that I'm the best at is now. However, I've been more mindful about what I put in my body, and especially how much salt I consume.
It is widely known that as Americans, we consume way too much sugar and salt. So keeping to my daily allowance was hard in the beginning, when it came to sugar. Surprisingly, I did a lot better with lowering my salt in take, after I had a little scare with my blood pressure, weeks ago.
The best outcome of this has been my mental health and my anxiety are more under control, and I've managed to get my heart to a nice 70+ heart beats per minute instead of the almost 100 where it was before. Some days if I'm really lucky, my heart beat is in the 60s, but I think I have to work out more so it's always in that range.
My goal for the next five months is to continue to get healthier, and finally get into some of the clothes that have been packed away for four years. Sometimes people ask me if I want to be skinny, like when I was in High School. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to get to buy pretty clothes, and not have to look at the Plus Size section and despair at the lack of choices. But I don't think I'll ever be 110lbs ever again. I like my curves. So my goal is to get to a weight where my BMI is normal, and my body is in good condition for however much longer G-d wants me on this Earth to spend time with my boys and my husband.
