Day 1 and 2

I was actually hoping to have this going yesterday but crap happens right?  Here we go.  I have always struggled with my weight since about 5th grade.  Being short on top of that doesn't help as well as the awesome gene pool I come from.  Between 2003 and 2007 I actually lost about 70-80 pounds on my own. I remarried in 2007 and had a rough year of injuries and one baby loss. I gained nearly 30 pounds back in the first year of marriage. YIKES!!!!  I had my first baby, after 10 years, in the fall off 2008.  I struggled to get back into working out and feeling like something was working.  In December of 2009 I had another miscarriage followed by me getting pregnant with my third and final baby.  Two boys that are 22 months apart. YIKES!!  No it's a lot of fun....most of the time.  For the first year of my baby boys life I never lost or gained a pound.  Some how at the beginning of this year I gained 10 pounds.  I was devastated. I felt I had gotten a good workout routine going and I had changed a lot of my bad eating habits, but it wasn't enough.

This is where Sarah-Pooh comes in.  I met Sarah in July of 2000.  She has been one of my best friends since then.  She's helped me though a lot and I hope that I have helped her as well.  She too had struggled with weight after having children and decided about 2 years ago to see a personal trainer/nutritionist. I thought she was crazy because she looked fabulous.  She was able to loose the weight she wanted and then decided she loved the program so much that she became one herself and now helps others to live better and be healthy.  i was still wanting to loose on my own.  She says i'm "stubborn".  Well okay maybe I am.  I finally went to ask her help with my nutrition.  I have no problem working out on my own. I haven't since 2003.  So I got my meal plan and boy howdy.  It's been tough.  But more to just follow the times and making sure I get all the measurements down. Yesterday I was a bit ornery by the evening however.  My poor family.

Today has been much better.  I feel better. I can actually tell that I haven't had sugar for a day and a half. It's amazing.  I just hope I can keep it up.  I tend to get bored so I have to keep myself motivated. Hence the another reason for the blog.  It'll help to get my successes and failures out on the blog.  I hope you enjoy my crazy and please comment.  I have attached a link to Body By Sarah's Facebook page below. I urge all who are seeking change to visit and ask her your questions.  She's amazing. Thank you Sarah!!
