Ok, so here it is. I am tired of being a lump. I have had weight issues all of my life. I am 38 years old and I am very over weight. I have tried every diet out there. The only success I have had was with Weight Watchers. And I managed to gain all of the weight I lost and then some only to retry it again. I regained again but this time, I have not let the weight gain get too far. I was doing really good until I moved to Spain. I have gained 10 pounds in 6 months. I have decided to get a grip on things before they spiral out of control and I wind up being 180 again.
For those who don't know me I am a short ( 4ft 10 1/2inches). Right now my current weight (I am embarrassed to say) is 164. I don't have one of those lovely tape measurers that I can measure my body but I can assure it is large. I feel like I look like one of the "tweedle dee's" on that disney movie Alice.
I am beginning my Weight watcher menu tomorrow. Chris is joining me. It makes it easier when I have support. We are planning on doing that exercise program called I believe P90X. Being so out of shape as I am Chris wanted to make sure that I was able to take full advantage of the program. It is really intense and He doesn't want me to give up quickly. So, to prepare me for what lies ahead. So to prepare us or our journey we have been doing push-ups from this website hundredpushups.com and we are now on our 6th week.
When I began this I honestly couldn't do but maybe 4 or 5 pushups. But now, just today in fact I have completed 160. Shocked is something I am sayng that I am. And because we are enjoying this program so much we have decided to also do twohundredsitups.com as well. We are only on week 1 day 3 as of tomorrow. I completed 54 of those yesterday. I mainly wanted to do this one to prepare me for the ab ripper that I know is a beast on the P90X program.
My two youngest children Amberlin and John are also doing those two programs with us. We want to teach them that you can do more then just play video games and sit on the sofa. We want them to be healthy and not like me. I figure a New Year, New Me.
I am not sure how often I will blog on this but I know that I will. I am going to try to log in what I eat and my daily exercise that I get in wheather it be on one of these programs or the amount I do with my children. I feel more motivated this time. So in the immortal words of my Sister-in-law. I am so gonna "Bring it"
