So I've always been a chunkster-munster. I grew up chubby with two sisters who were always slim. Could be because they had a love for basketball and running while I had a love for tuna casseroles and TV but more than likely it's not that and bad genes, right? Alright, thank you. I'm glad I finally got someone to agree to that.
I started exercising when I was fourteen and lost all that baby fat. I was a size thirteen when I began and a size three a year later. My body weight would yoyo from here on out. I would never be that heavy again until I got pregnant but did go back and forth between a size six and ten. When I met my husband I was a six. While we dated I got up to a twelve thanks to the "happy" stage. By the time we married in 2005 I weighed between 145-150 and could wear a eight or ten. Anytime we would go on vacation I would lose ten pounds. It was just a rule.
The last few years I've been trying to have a healthier lifestyle. But it's a thin line between the eating healthy and gorging on sugar. I know I've said this before but I will always have a burning desire to sit down and eat an entire birthday cake. I try, really, not to be so gluttonous though.
These days, everyday I wake up with a pledge to do my best. To exercise as much as I can and to eat as healthy as possible. Sometimes I win sometimes I lose. But at least I continue to try!
I do exercise 4-5 days a week. I do a mix between running and weights. I do Jillian Micheals a lot because I just don't have the discipline by myself to push. If I watch her I want to push. I ran my first 5k in April. I love it and hope to do it again but with working Saturdays it's hard. But it was a thrill and it's given me a desire to push myself further.
