Okay so...
I did some cardio. Only about 25 minutes, but it's a start. If i over do this, i'll get defeated. Measurements to come.
Day ONE
I have got to get out of this rut!!!!!
A little background on what's going on with me...
I'm on my 3rd marriage, and we have 6 children between us. Four of those I actually gave birth to, and 5 live in this house. The kids are 3 boys, 17, 14 and almost 2, and 3 girls; 14, 7 and almost 3. The 7 year old stayed in Philadelphia with her father. I recently moved back to my small-town home after living in a HUGE big city for 9 years. I miss it SO much, and I thought I would be happy to be back. I was so worried about my big city raised husband and blended family adjusting to this new life, that I completely neglected myself. I forgot all the reasons I left this place. I forgot how mundane it is to be a housewife. I forgot how easy it is for me to get stuck in a rut... and stuck in a rut I am! I have gained 20 lb since I moved back, and need to lose 100 lb. I have sunk into such a deep depression that I was actually semi-suicidal. Our family finances are completely out of whack. My children are driving me crazy. My husband and I are having disagreements instead of sex. Things have to change, and I'm the only one that can change them. I decided to commit to several things.
1. For 30 days, I will eat better.
2. For 30 days, I will exercise in some form.
3. For 30 days, I will post daily in this blog.
Today is day ONE. So far, things have been easy. I have been on pinterest for the first time, and got some ideas for home workouts. I have decided to eat mostly Paleo diet. I have been inspired by the Whole30 program, but can't afford all the organic and grass-fed and free range until we get our finances straightened out. I'm going to do as best I can to eat in the Paleo way. As far as exercise, I'm not going to follow any particular work-out plan as of now. That might change, but I've gotten workout ideas on pinterest too, so that's where i'm starting now. I don't have a working scale,but I am around 278lb. I haven't taken my measurements, but I will do that either later today, or in the coming days.
So far, my eating for today has been on track. I have yet to work out, but I plan on doing that when i'm done with my blog for the day. It is easy when I'm home alone to be in this mindset. I know that my husband will be in a bad mood when he gets home from work tonight, due to our financial situation, but I will do what I can to not let it affect me negatively.
