The end is near. The end of unhealthy habits, the end of bad choices. I can't stand thinking I'm weighing in over 200lbs. I realize right now, I'm carrying a baby, and any weight gain is good. However, after this baby is born, things will start to change. Already, I make an effort to make healthier choices, and to make a point of walking everyday.
Even Matt is going to get into the action. He wants to lose weight and tone up as well. I think it will be better for us to forge through this adventure together. It will keep us more motivated, and much more honest. This starts(in earnest) 4 weeks after Baby Wappler is born.
I'm sick of feeling this way, and I'm sick of looking this way.

Friday
I really should make my posts every Monday after weigh-in, but I think that if I write my progress down on how I'm doing through the week, then I will do better. I didn't do p90x yesterday, but I did sweep, swiffer, and scrub the floors on my hands and knees, and I shoveled yesterday too. This means I also chased kids around in the snow as well. I plan on doing my workout today after Henry goes down for a nap, and then I'm going to attempt to make a meal plan for the week, so I don't fall into any traps. I hate eating salads. I shouldn't say that I hate eating salads, it just seems that everytime I try to diet, I end up eating way to many on them, and then hate what I'm eating. I do like lean proteins though. Scratch that, I love all proteins. Like yogurt, lean meat, anf fish. I've already got into the habit of drinking water regularly. We rarely buy soda, so I don't really worry about drinking my calorie intake. I think my biggest area to work on is making sure I exercise every day and that I make better choices when it comes to food. Hoping to report a two pound weight loss on Monday. Ashleigh

Getting down to business
I'm ready to get my body back in shape. I've lost 20 and gained it back in a year. I know I can do this.
I'm on Day 3 of p90x(lean)and have been taking the dogs for walks in this unseasonably warm weather we have been having. Tomorrow we are suppose to have a snowstorm, but I know Grover would still like to take the walk. Matt has been really toning up too, and I find I'm incredibly jealous about it. He gets the time, the tools, and the equipment to get into shape. I get to make do with what I have at home, and hope that Henry takes an early nap so I have the time to work out uninterupted.
Days 1 and 2 of p90x have been hard, but do-able. I feel like I can feel my core already starting to get stronger, and I find I don't slouch as much already. My depression has been kept in check, but I'm not sure if it's from working out or the sunny and warm days we have been having.
Eating hasn't been going the best for me, so I'm trying to keep a food journal on calorieking.com. It's sort of like weight watchers, except it just uses calories instead of the points system. I like it because it can track all the nutrients of what you eat, not just your calories. You can also input the exercises you've completed through out the day, and gives you targets for weight loss. Like I want to lose around 80 lbs, but instead of jumping straight to that, I'm trying to lose 30 lbs first. That way I'm less likely to feel overwhelmed when I don't get to my end goal weight right away. I just have to keep to it.
A really big reason why I want to do this is because I want to have another baby soon, but I definetly want to look and feel good during my pregnancy. I'm tall, so I carry diffrently than a lot of other women. Like my stomach looks just long and popped out instead of like a basketball under my shirt. So if I were overweight and pregnant, I would look like an elephant.
Other goals I have for this year are to do well in school, blog more, and exercise on a daily basis to form life long habits. I would also like to take more pictures. I have a nice camera and I need to start utilizing it.
