Upswing

I finally feel like I am on an upswing. I am ready to take charge of my life or me rather. As a full time teacher, mother of two, and wife, I let myself go. Which is easy this time of year. In summer, I am eating healthier, running every morning, hittin' the beach with kids....not working! Fall and winter hit me like a ton of bricks this year. Running around like a mad woman trying to fit it all in. I have gained a pant size since I started teaching again....blech! I was almost down to my goal size this summer. I have no idea how much I weigh. I can't really put it in perspective being a 6' tall girl. Two kids later and on the younger side of 33, I am officially struggling with my weight. It sucks. It is so much easier to give in and stuff my face. I have a birthday celebration with my students at least twice a month. Which means cupcakes or brownies or.....Things you would never eat on a daily basis. But that is over today. The new leaf has been turned. Six months to beach season. I am starting the hundred push challenge tonight. and adding crunches to it. The hubby is working late tonight. Which I am happy about. The kiddos were put to bed and I soaked in a tub for awhile. Sunk myself underwater and had a pep talk. Not the most exciting post but I needed to get it out there. Now it is on record. Wish me luck!

  1. GOOD LUCK!! I'm trying to head in the same direction you are too!! By the way, I'm also 6 ft tall, but a bit older ! ;-)But I know how hard it can be to continue eating healthy in winter especially with the holidays, the lack of fresh veggies, etc., and being bombarded by the rush of your life! "We" just need to keep our focus!! :-)))
