Weight Loss

So here’s a shocker, I’m fat. Thanks Doc I already knew that, but it just hasn’t been verbalized it a while.  According to some chart (that I’m sure some stick figure that only eats salads created), for my height (yea yea yea I’m vertically challenged) I should be 40 to 60 lbs lighter. And besides my terrible eating habits, the medicine that I take also causes weight gain. AWESOME! And before anyone says it, no skinny is not cute I just want to be healthy and thinner than I am now.

“Being over or underweight, however, could have an impact on your chances of conception according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine as weight issues can interfere with ovulation and may be associated with irregular cycles.”

So I decided, with the help of “My Fitness Pal” and Weight Watchers (the free way – I have my own spreadsheet that will help me track that I created) to start eating less and food that are better for me. I also set some goals for myself:

1.     Lose 5 pounds; I know it’s not much but I figure it’s a start

2.     No soda; I LOVE soda. Try to drink at least 92 oz of water daily

3.     Walk for 30 mins, a few days per week; I just felt like I need to get moving more. I like walking outside but now that the weather is meant for ducks, I might have to do something inside.

I know I will never lose the weight as fast as I put it on; unless I do something drastic like surgery or some type of unhealthy diet. I know it’ll be a slow process, but hopefully one that I can stick to. I seem to do really well during the week but not so much on the weekends.  I need to improve on my planning and preparing; when I don’t plan I look for the quick fix which normally isn’t something healthy.

I’m starting today I will update on my progress as I hopefully lose weight. If you are interested in joining me, just let me know.

Praying for Baby B!
