Its been awhile since I've blogged about me losing weight and I apologize...its been really crazy! So I hit 30 pounds lost at the end of the school year (June) and it felt really good to see. People have noticed and so have I. I have had to buy new shirts, capri's, long pants and swimming suit! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE to wear a bathing suit now! 30 pounds is GREAT and I started this journey with the hopes of losing 50 pounds (weighing 130 pounds). I don't remember the last time I weighed 130...it had to have been some time in Middle School, but 150 is still really good. According to my BMI I am on the lower end of being "Overweight." No where near Obese!!
I said I had lost 30 pounds at the end of the School year which was the beginning of June. I thought with the kids being out of school that I would have more time to exercise...boy was I mistaken!! I had hardly any time to get that in. I know, it sounds crazy, but its true! My days and mornings were full of making sure the kids did their chores, a lot of yard work (garden and lawn), weeding and having fun! Over the course of the Summer, I was able to maintain my weight...which makes me feel really good. I got on the scale on Tuesday and noticed I had only gained back 2 pounds. I have been eating what I want, but still keeping it in control. I still feel really good and am starting to exercise again. 30 minutes usually does me good, but with trying to lose 20 more pounds, I may need to increase my time again. I will wait a couple weeks to see what happens.
More than anything in the world that makes me happy, is that my husband told me he is going to start exercising too. It makes me sooooo happy! It might be the Hawaii trip we want to take next spring or it could be that he is really afraid of leaving this world so young and overweight. Whatever it is, I am glad that he is willing to make small changes to make his life better!
