So I've decided to give this "blogging" thing a shot. This blog is going to hopefully hold me accountable!! Earlier this week, David and I decided to start Weight Watchers... it's no secret that I've never been skinny. But I'm at a point in my life where I feel that my weight is really starting to effect not only me but my family. I can't go outside and run around whit Manessah and even worse, I'm seeing her turn into me. She is heavy and in-active and that is what I always swore I would never let happen to my children. Doesn't everyone want better for their children then they had?? I don't want her being teased and made fun of for something that we can change NOW. Also, David and I plan to have more children... but with this body, I think it would be very risky for me to try to get pregnant... I would worry about my safety and the safety of the baby!
So this week, we have turned over a new leaf!!!! (Insert large round of applause and hoots and hollers!!!!) We are on day 3 and so far things have been going very well for both of us! I've tried WW before on my own and I have been successful... but always seem to fall off the path somewhere. However, I can see already that having my husband do this with me is making a difference!! I'm asking all of you to pray for us and encourage us. (That means don't ask us to go to dinner at McDonalds!!) I want us to be a healthy family so we can enjoy our family and friends for years and years to come!!!
So this is the start of what I'm sure will be my ramblings...feel free to comment me. Hopefully thur WW and with the help of friends and family, we will become THE DEAMERS....HEALTH FREAKS!!!!!
I like everything but being a health freak.....I just want to have my pants fit better and not have to be buying larger cloths. If anyone wants to do this with us, let us know. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S........I love my wife and daughter!
I think it's great you're determined to do that sweetie...You can do it! The most important thing is developing a routine of meals and regular workouts that you stick to. And it gets easier after a while. When I first started being a vegetarian, I hardly knew what to eat anymore...but now I'm so used to it I don't even have to think about it! If I could change my eating habits, so can you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt takes 21 days for something to become a habit. It's not easy, but with David by your side it will be easier. I am here for support too. Are u using the online program? The recipes were helpful for me. I am working with a trainer at Gold's and I will be using their online nutrition program. I have a blogspot page called more than a momma. I haven't written in a while, now you've inspired me to, so check it out, maybe we can keep each other accountable. I have a weight watchers cookbook it I want to borrow it u r welcome to.
