I'm back y'all!
2 years later. That's all it took for me to get back at this. I'm really bad at writing things down because I think I get too busy. I think that's normal, right? I constantly think, Hey! I should write that down. But then I'm off on the next thought.
Well what has happened in the past 2 years? My kids are 2 years older, Marquis is 16 (and driving, btw), Malia is 10 and fiesty as ever and Monty is still the sweetest, loudest little 10 year old you will ever meet. And I love them.
My husband is still my very most favorite person in the whole world. Seriously. It's stupid how happy I am.
Except for my weight. Not that I'm obese. Last I weighed myself, I was 135. That's NOT cool being that I am 5'2" and 134 was my heaviest WHEN I WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT!!
But as everyone has been telling me, it's not about the weight. It's about the way I fit in my clothes.
My diet has been 90% clean for the past month (give or take a few days) (and NOT counting my trip to NY last week). Protein first thing in the morning, mostly tuna salads for lunch, and really compliant dinners. But for the couple glasses of wine a night, I would be 120 lbs....oh and if I didn't work out religiously, I really would be at a smaller weight.
Weirdly, I've grown to love working out. I started crossfit last August and fell right in love. I don't know why, because while I'm grasping for breath at the 55th wallball, I'm screaming WHY AM I DOING THIS??? but then I realize my gains. Yes, there are gains. I feel myself getting stronger and I've noted my progress. My scaled weights have gone higher, so that's good. (as I glare at the scale)
On top of xfit 3-4 days a week, I throw in a couple days of Barre3. It's fantastic. Like I said, I feel stronger, better, and I feel like crap if I don't work out. So that's new.
I think that's it for now. I just wanted to let you know that I'm back. Stronger than ever.
