Welcome to my new blog!
Today is day one of a new “adventure” for me!
I am a 26 year old stay at home mom, and student! (Someday, I’ll be a nurse… if I survive Nursing School!) My husband is an over the road truck driver, so he’s gone for 4 weeks at a time. Which in some odd way also makes me a “Single Mom” for much of the time.
My weight gain story is much like any other I suppose. I was skinny as a kid, I weighed 125(ish) when I graduate from High School. Then over the next year I gained about 30 pounds. Funny, since I had a job as a daytime manager at the local YMCA as well as teaching water aerobics classes! After that I moved to Colorado (from Nebraska) to be closer to my boyfriend. Over the next two years I gained like crazy. When we got married (I was 21) I weighed over 260 pounds! (So in 3 years since high school graduation I’d gained 130+ pounds!!!)
Somehow in the first four years of our marriage I lost weight (without really trying) and made my way down to about 210 before getting pregnant with my little girl. I gained about 30 pounds in my pregnancy, got back down to about 200 over the first few months of 2009. And today I stepped on the scale and about fell over when I saw it had crept back up to 219!
So here we go again. I’m hoping this time between using Sparkpeople.com and this blog I can manage to really lose it this time!
I am tracking my calories over at Sparkpeople! (My user name is MySkinnyGenes over there!) And trying to exercise.
I suppose I should add my starting stats! (Any graphics are print screen from Sparkpeople.com!)
My weigh in this morning said 219 pounds with the following BMI and Measurements! (BMI 37.7)
And I shall leave you with a photograph of myself! This was taken about a month ago (I need to get some official photos this evening!) on my fifth anniversary vacation with my husband!
