time to be bold.

Being a girl, I feel like I go back and forth about having a positive self body image.  I more so teeter on the side of being unhappy with the way I look or how much I weigh.  So in the words of my amazing husband "If you don't like something, change it."

I know how to lose weight and feel better about myself (I'm not an idiot), but I will be the first to admit that I have no will power or discipline.  Two things that I desperately need just to better myself. 

In order to make these changes, I need to make a bold move.  I need to do something drastic.  I'm going to do something no women EVER wants to do.  I'm going to tell you my weight and hopefully my measurements (If I can find blasted measuring tape).  Each week, I will try to blog about my hopeful progress, struggles, stuff I ate, and the stuff I did to get some exercise in with having 2 kids  (good luck to me).

For those of you who know me know that 1) I LOVE food and 2) I HATE to workout, so this is not going to be easy for me.  But here it goes!

October 4:

Weight: 129 lbs
Height: 5'0 (Caleb measured me at actually 4'11.5, but I rounded up to make it easier of course :))
Bust: 37.5 in
Waist: 32.25 in
Hips: 39.5 in

Now for my height and build, I should be anywhere between:

Small frame: 104-115 lbs
Medium frame: 113-126 lbs

My husband and I can't agree on what frame I am so here is both :)

I would be extremely happy around 115 give or take, but overall I would just love to drop a pant size.

Because I'm nursing I don't want to restrict calories, I just want to make healthier choices.  I am a horrible eater and I eat a lot of junk food!  I need to be taking in at least 1800 calories each day.

After I weighed in, I went on a brisk hilly walk with my friend Megan and our strollers with our kids :)  They loved it!  After I came home, I  finished with lunges, squats, sit ups, crunches, and push ups.  I need to stick to exercises I can do at home that don't require much. 

I've noticed that my core is VERY weak... probably because I had 2 kids back to back :)

See you next week! :)
