Beginning! A very good place to start!
Hi! I'm Martha. I'm a wife of 6 years. I'm a Mom of a 3 year old. I'm a school SLP. I'm a daughter. I'm a sister.... Cliche? Ugh, yea.
I'm a lot of things, but fit is not one of them. I used to be! Sure was. I was a 3-sport athlete in high school. I was uber-competitive. I played college soccer one year and from there became a Jazzercise Instructor. I did that for 8 years but somewhere during that time period, things started to change for me. Somewhere in here, I started to feel depressed and had NO CLUE! I also realized I hate cooking so eating out and eating junk became my life. I constantly found myself thinking about what I'd eat next. At the height of my pregnancy, I was over 200 pounds but 170 is the highest I've ever been outside of pregnancy so I've never felt like it was dire because I didn't feel THAT big. Strange? Perhaps! Glad I haven't beat myself up too bad but disappointed I can't get it together.
So that's why I'm going public. That's the reason for this blog. Wanna join me? Let's go!
I will do my official weigh-in in the AM since it's after 11pm right now.
Goals I know I need to work on:
1. Organization - makes me FEEL better, eat better, get more done, want to work out, and so on
2. A LOT less sugar - it's my biggest weakness
3. MORE water - my digestion is off, gotta help that and reduce hunger
4. Snack on more fruits & veggies
5. Cook/prep food ahead of time
6. Learn to love cooking
7. Find some new foods to love (want to try veggies, fruit, quinoa)
I'm on the hunt to figure out why I know what I need to do, but just don't do it!
A weight loss challenge has started at school and I really don't want to let myself down...
