Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.
I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something.
So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.
So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy meat. I do eat some grains but I try to make sure that they are healthy grains and I don't eat a bunch. The main reason why is because when I do I crave more and more. If I eat more fruits, veggies, and proteins than I seem to stay fuller longer and I don't crave unhealthy stuff.
I also started walking with a neighbor and/or a friend. Tonight was the first night I went out by myself. My hubby didn't like the idea much and made me carry pepper spray with me but I still went. I enjoyed it too! I did not want to go tonight but I asked my walking buddies if they wanted to come and it just wasn't working. With all the talking about walking I all of a sudden wanted to go and felt very bummed that no one could go with me.
I think every mom, especially ones that stay home all day, need time away and out of the house to just let their mind relax. I know that I'm a much happier and easy going mom when I get my walks in. Go Endorphin's!
I also lost 9 pounds already and it's been about a month! Go me! I also think this sets a good example for Rex in many ways which is my goal in life!
