The good news I am quite healthy per the doctor. The bad news I need to lose weight per the doctor. No surprise there. Yay for honesty of medical professionals. Boo for cold hard truth.
I do need to lose the excess baby weight…it’s a little embarrassing that my oldest is 13. Who’s counting, but that’s a long time to “plan” on losing weight. I will say that I am making some efforts. I’m exercising twice a week. I am playing ball outside with my 5-year-old. I’m eating…well, therein lies the problem.
I am a snacker, a grazer, a nibbler. I’ll eat dinner and then not too long later have a snack. I don’t eat lunch most days, but more than make up for it in the after-dinner munchfest. It’s me and a bowl of chips and melted cheese and 24 and I am set.
So, an exercise program alone will not help my weight loss program. I need to couple an exercise program with an eating less program. I already workout twice a week when the kids are at swim team. But, more exercise is needed…one more per workout week would help. Here’s to making it happen!
Keep moving forward and you will do great. Good luck!!!
Join the club. When I joined a gym in Turkey, the trainer who did my initial assessment said, in English as good (and refined) as my Turkish…you’re so fat, but strong, like a man. If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is!
one of the biggest changes i saw in my weight loss was when i stopped eating after 7. i am a night time snacker so this was sooo hard but i started seeing almost immediate results. even if you eat a bigger dinner, if you can cut out the late night snacking it will help. once i got used to it, it wasn’t as hard. good luck!
