One Full Week Down

Yesterday marked a small milestone in my journey; 1 week down.

There may be many more left to go, but at least I know:

1. It won’t kill me. (but the trainers might)
2. I CAN do it.
3. I can live without diet soda/juice/but not alcohol…j/k I can live without alcohol.

If I can eat right and workout 4-5 times in a 7 day span…then I can do it long term, no questions asked.

Today I came across a photo of me holding my oldest daughter at 7 days old. I recalled my weight at that particular time and shockingly realized that I weigh close to 100lbs more today than I did 7 days after giving birth to Lexia. Made me sick. to. my. stomach. To think, I thought I was super fat then….geez. I’d give one of my kidneys to be back to that size right about now. More motivation I suppose. I guess it’s not such a bad thing that I can find way more reasons to get healthy than stay overweight. 

Here’s a GREAT reason to get healthy…

This comic strip is displayed on the wall at Next Level Fitness and is a very sad reality that I am slowly but surely, coming to terms with.

Which one fits your schedule better?
