BMI

I looked up my BMI (body mass index) today.  I am at 33.1 that puts me in the obese setting.  I don't feel obsese. I feel overweight but obsese sounds crazy.  In order to be where I should be, on the BMI scale, at my height I should be between 18.1-24.9 http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
I have to weigh 135 and that's at the top end! That's so crazy. I haven't been 135 since high school! So my weight loss goal is not 150 anymore. My new goal is 135 and that is daunting.  I need to lose 51 pounds to be considered healthy. AHHH! Wish me luck!

Day three...water!

Weight today: 186 Yea for me! So I watched this movie Foodmatter's yesterday. It's pretty instense and full of information I really liked it!  For my small change today I am adding drinking 6 glasses of water a day. Both Foodmatters and the flex diet agree that we get enough water from the food we eat. Foodmatters says the importance of drinking water all day long is to carry the toxins we consume in our food and help it out of our body quicker.  Flex diet says water is important because it takes up room in our stomach and helps our metabolism.  Either way they both sound good!  So I have a pitcher of water I will fill up each morning and then everytime before I go in the kitchen or when I want to snack I will drink water first!  I will let ya know how this goes! It's a beautiful day I feel I may be up for a walk later hmmm.
P.s. One part I really liked in Foodmatters is when one of the doctor's said that the nutrients we put into are body don't do anything by themselves. What the nutrients are there for are be there to fill the body and let the body function as it should. To let the body heal and take care of itself. Drugs don't help the body. Nutrients/vitamins do!
Never give up Never surrender!

Day two...weigh in...

Yesterday after finishing my first blog I went into the kitchen and ate five cookies! Oops.  But now my house is cookie free so I will look on the positve side there. I also tried to not snack after 8 but Tony had to go back out to work and I found myself eating chips. Dang it! Naughty hands, guess I better be more aware of what I am doing!  Today for my small change I am going to start weighing myself daily. Research shows that when people weigh themselves daily that they have double the weight loss then weekly or not at all. I even took a picture to prove it!  My toenails were painted by my lovely daughter Ashlyn and I thank her for giving everyone something pretty to look at right now!

So my weight today is a whopping 187. That makes me kinda sad but at least it's not as high as it has been in the past.  Three years ago I weighed myself at 215. That won't happen again!

And here is why..... Man I love those two!

First day, first blog

So I am reading a book called the Flex Diet. He says you can lose twenty pounds in 8 weeks by just changing one small thing a day and continue doing it while adding one small thing each day. I would of picked weighing yourself to start with but my husband took the scale, to work, to weigh a garage door. No kidding ;) So I am starting with a blog. Scary.  Here are my stat's that are relavent to my weight. 
Married weight: 150 and very sexy
Pre pregnancy weight 174 not to shabby
Last day of pregnancy weight 199 scary!
Today???? to be anounced tomorrow as my daily weigh in starts
I know I am bouncing between 180 and 190, I am tired of wearing baggy shirts because none of my pre pregnancy ones fit. The boob fairy has given me double D's and giggles everytime I try to put on a normal bra (she thinks she is so clever not letting me fit) so all I wear are sports bra's. The belly fairy likes to glide across the hills of my stomach (especially when I laugh, like kids in winter on a new sled down a big hill) and is holding steady at my six month pregnant size.
I hate exercise. I figured I would start being more active as my new daughter is more active but that's not fair to my step kids or my husband. (So far in this book exercise has not been mentioned as one of the things I need to pick during my two weeks so I am going to hold on to that dream as long as I can!?)
So I begin my weight loss journey. Day one complete. The blog begins.....
Never give up, never surrender
