SO THE JOURNEY BEGINS . . . [say that in a Gandalf voice]

My  name is M.  I love my beautiful body. I love being able to move and about and do all that I do. I love playing with my kiddos and learning.  I am incredibly blessed with a family that I love.

I am on the path to great fitness and health.  I want to share some of my journey with you.

I am doing this because I want to feel great! I recently found out that I am pre-hypertensive. Gulp. All my life I have had low blood pressure and felt like it was a part of my identity--ha!   Now I am on the path to get healthy. I have had five wonderful children that I love with all my heart and I want to show them how to be healthy and to love their own bodies and to have them realize how blessed they are.

What I want in a plan:

  • sustainability
  • forgiving
  • science based
  • whole family friendly
  • easy to follow
  • ideas to boost or keep me interested

So, as all journeys to fitness begin, I am going to account for myself.  I acknowledge that I gained at least 30 pounds per child. I would lose about 15 of those post-nursing, but I am still nursing now and have a part that I want to audition for this summer--also they may be filming Star Wars nearby sometime this next summer and I would love to be an extra. Haha!

Current weight: 201 lbs.
Height: 5 foot 6 inches
Clothes Tightness: Most tight--pregnancy pants comfy loose (yes, I am still wearing them)
Chest: 42"
High Waist by belly button: 40"
Hip: 50"
Thigh: 27"
Calves: 16"
Bicep: 12"

Side Goals:
Drink around a gallon of water each day.
Pray at the beginning of day for help and each night in gratitude (I sleep so much better if I end my day with a prayer of thankfulness).
Remember I am beautiful and blessed!
