Hello everyone! I am starting this blog to log my new health & fitness journey. First off let me start off by saying I am not a great writer nor am I a health or fitness expert. I also am not a really outgoing person so please don't expect me to share a lot of details about myself. The purpose of this blog is pretty much hold me accountable in hopes that I won't fall back to old habits. I'll post about my diet, exercise, and lifestyle. It will be a simple blog. I wish I had time to do a fancy one. If you have helpful tips feel free to leave me comments (I need all the help I can get).
Okay, let me give you a little background info about me. I am a female in my late 20's. I have lived on the Big Island of Hawaii my entire life. My fiancé and I welcomed our second daughter a few months ago. I am currently still breastfeeding so I have that to factor in to my diet. My weight has always been an issue for me but due to this last pregnancy I am the heaviest I have ever been. I did have gestational diabetes during both of my pregnancies. My family does have a history of health problems, especially type II diabetes and high blood pressure. Up until now I haven't tried a "healthy" lifestyle. I have tried countless times and methods to diet/loose weight. Hmm, maybe I'll do a post about my struggle with weight next.
So let me just address the elephant in the room and tell you my weight...160lbs. Feels awkward to announce it to the whole world but maybe that's the first step to changing it. Not sure what size I am because I honestly still wear my maternity pants or loose dresses. Why change now? Well I guess with all my pre & post pregnancy hormones I kind of had mid-life crisis (I don't really know how to describe it). I thought to myself, "My 20's are supposed to be my prime years. If I wait and don't get the body I want now I will start to have wrinkles and white hairs as I get older. Then it would be like I'm skinny but I have other issues (that I can't control) to deal with." My goal weight is 120 lbs but more importantly I just want to be healthy.
I think that's enough about me for now. Hopefully you're not bored and will join me on my journey to become the best me I can be. ❤
