Christi has encouraged me to pledge to Mamavation. And I am going to follow her suggestion!
I constantly have a lot going on in my house full of special needs and I get so consumed with caring for everyone I forget I need to take care of me before I can’t take care of them. So while I have been watching what I eat for the most part and doing some exercise it is time to bump things up to the next level.
Last week I weighed in at 243 (YIKES). I so just admitted that. It puts me at a BMI of 40.43, this puts me in the morbidly obese category. I am not thrilled with that so I am setting my first goal to be under a 40 BMI which would put me in the obese category. Not a great place to be but getting rid of the “morbid” makes me feel a little better. I am aiming for the first week of February to be rid of the morbid label.
Later this week my treadmill will arrive. I know that having it around and using it daily will give me both a stress outlet and some confidence in myself. I am also praying real hard that Christi makes it as a Mamavation Mom when the announcement comes out tonight. I hope to join in her journey!
This week I am going to work hard on drinking my water. I go in spurts with water sometimes drinking a lot and more often drinking very little. I have a large 32 oz cup that I commit to filling twice a day and drinking it down.
So there you have it my pledge to change the lives of my family by changing myself.
