The Results

Once and for all I've been assured (by a doctor I like and trust a lot!) that my thyroid isn't acting abnormally.

Once and for all I've learned that the only way I can hope to lose the extra and feel better about myself and my body is to workout - MORE than I have been. Like 30 minutes a day instead of every other day. Like cardio instead of simply strength. Oh, and to be sure to stock up on the fruits and veggies (okay with me - it's spring for goodness sake!!).

Well, at least it's not weight that CAN'T come off... Now let's get there!

Oh Boy

There

I said it

I'm trying to lose weight



There

I wrote it

I'm 40+ over my tiniest adult life weight


There

I admitted it

I would like to see results - better than I am


Yikes

I told you

Now you're going to keep me accountable, aren't you


Shoot

:)

Fitness Kick

Wow - I've really been on a fitness kick these last few days, haven't I?

Well, you see... I'm really on a quest towards better health and wellness.

Before Bekah was even conceived I was weighing in 20+ lbs over my beloved wedding weight!

Now that my "baby weight" time has definitely come and gone I'm weighing in about 40+ lbs that untouchable wedding weight.

My blood sugar is too high

My pants are too tight

My tummy has no room to expand more for another baby

It's time to get this fixed


Lucky for me we have friends who are all joining together in a little friendly competition towards weight loss and exercise goals!


So, in an effort to become healthier (or really, just to stay in the club!!) I'm working out at least 90 minutes a week and trying to lose the lbs.

Unfortunately for me I'm only about 1 lb closer to my goal... After a couple months of work. It's frustrating! But, THIS WEEK is going to be it - I'm going to hop over the hump and start seeing results.

If not I might have to indulge myself in a big bag of... um... carrot sticks?!

Could It Be True?

I have been hearing rumors that you can boost your metabolism by drinking water.

Seriously?

That seems too easy.

Although, not really all that easy seeing as I don't usually crave a glass of water.

Yes, I've been known to mention my desire for a "big glass of drink," but water isn't usually the drink I think of...

According to Bellybar by NutraBella - you can boost your metabolism by up to 3% by drinking 8 glasses of water every day.

Okay.

You've got me.

I'll give it a try.
