Okay, maybe I lied when I said four kids was not that bad. I have absolute no motivation. I say I want to lose the weight, that I am not happy with being a size 15/16, but in all reality, I am comfortable right now with the way I am. Emotionally, not so much, but it just can't kick me into gear. I am one of those people that since I have a gym membership, I think I am doing good. What is wrong with me?
I am about to go to my ten year high school reuinion. Yes, I know I just had a baby, but I still want to look good. Some of friends have yet entered motherhood, and they still look amazing just like they did ten years ago. I also have friends who have had two or three, and still look amazing. I want that. I want to wow everyone. Now, granted, I know that getting to my goal weight before June 19 is so not happening, but I still want it. Is that my motivation? Is that going to be my drive?
I watched Biggest Loser, and was amazed at how all of them did. Well, some did not do as well as the others, but no one gained weight, I would be the one who gained weight. What am I saying? As I am writing this post, I feel I am setting myself up for failure. Maybe it is just today. I need a partner, someone who gets me off the couch and kicks my a%$. Excuse my french, but really people. I need someone to say, "HEY YOU CAN'T EAT THAT, or HEY LET'S GET MOVING. WHY DRIVE WHEN WE CAN WALK?" Where are you? Where is my saving grace?
Okay, snap out of it. Tons of women do this on their own. My friend Lesa looks great and she did it by herself. Hope it's okay to plug you. So, why did I start this blog? For this very reason. So, I can sit and vent about my day. I will do it. I am going to do it. Today is tomorrow, and let's get started. PLEASE help keep me going. I want to burn the fat clothes!!

Okay we totally have to be workout buddies then. I have hit a major road block in motivation to do anything about it and I don't want to have weight from baby #1 when I get preggers with #2! We have gym equipment in the garage and I LOVE to walk really fast, but hate to run. If you ever want to walk let me know! If my mom can run a half marathon at 48 then I should be able to lose this weight;)
ReplyDeleteJust remember, you did JUST have sweet baby Lucy, you will do it.. you are a very determined lady... it will happen, just remember, your a MOM...the weight will EVENTUALLY come off... for me... when Doug is gone, which is alot.. you know how that works with the military... I like the WOW factor also, so it gives me more motivation to lose the weight! You can totally do it, just give your body some time to recoop as well! Love ya
ReplyDeleteHey you can do this.. I wish IOwas closer I too am trying to start working out more and eating better.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome Heidi. I wanted to loose weight after Aaron was born. I struggled with it for awhile because my husband made it so hard. He ate ice cream before bed he brought donuts home from the grocery store ect. It was frustrating at times. I prayed alot that the Lord would make me strong. I wrote down reasons why I wanted to loose the weight. Mostly I wanted to take care of the temple that I had been blessed with. I know that this will be really hard but you can do it. The way that i used was to count calories. Writing down on paper really helped me. If I knew that I had to write down that handful of m&m's I could turn it down easier and replace it with something else. I also drank water like crazy. I walked into the kitchen wanting to munch and then I would make myself drink a lot of water. Honestly i was hungry a lot and i got to love string beans and spinach because I could eat so much! In the end the hard work was worth it and I keep trying to eat healthy and exercise. WhenI stay on track I feel good inside and out. Sometimes I slip into lazy bad eating mode again but when I drag myself back out and get going. I am excited to see your progress. I know you can do and I know it will be worth it.
