100 Pounds in 1 Year

This morning, before I really did anything, I read about a woman who lost 100 lbs. in a year. I thought to myself " Now, I could do that!"


After having two children, I have gained alot of weight...and, to be up front and honest, not only with myself, but with others as well, I had gained 60lbs in each pregnancy. I have lost some of the weight, but I haven't been trying to loose it. I know that it isn't good for me (obviously), but I think I just didn't care. Well, today is the day I start caring! And everyday for the rest of this year,I'm hoping to write on here about my triumphs and my falls, but hopefully, what I really hope to take away from this experience is discipline, and a healthier lifestyle!


Here are the stats: ( and boy, they ain't pretty!)


Height: 5'9


Weight: 223.2 lbs.


I guess I don't really need to loos one hundred pounds, least I look emaciated, but hey, one hundred sounds better I think.


Reasons:

1.) I have two children, and I want to be there for them...like really be there for them! I want to play, and chase, and wrestle around with them.


2.)Who doesn't want to be a hot mama?


3.) Myself. Those of who know me, know that I have a serious heart disease that cannot be cured, only managed. I need to start taking care of myself better if I hope to be around the next 80 years!


4.) My husband. While walking in the grocery store, I want to be able to turn heads, but most of all, when I walk in the door, I hope the head that turns the quickest, is my husbands.


Anytime I start to loose faith in this project, I just need to remember these people:



I will post on here tonight, and I'm hoping every night to let everyone know how each day goes. I'm hoping that by making this as public as possible, I try harder and harder, and not loose sight of what is important to get accomplished!

  1. So proud of you Ash! I can't wait to join you in the Losing it! Challenge. I found myself taking a vacation from exercise during my pregnancies and at the end of both I always have that new found energy to get out there and sweat! I can't agree with you more about the water either, must have it in a glass with ice!
