Week 1 -ish

Over a year ago I had my 3rd precious child. With all my pregnancies I had trouble with my blood pressure being too high. This time it wasn't going down. So my doctor prescribed a high blood pressure pill and to lose 10 lbs. And you know, I don't do well when being told what to do. But I took it to the extreme and gained 10 lbs. And that 6 month prescription has lasted over a year. Gasp....I was looking at the medicine just now and thought, "Oh how nice and strange that the pharmacy gave me an extra month supply. They must know how much I need to be on this and that it will carry me over to when I have my appointment with the OBGYN." Yes I actually thought that. Thought that maybe fate had stepped in and gave me an extra supply. Then I noticed that the prescription says to take two a day........ummmm.......I have not been doing that. Oh bother. To be honest...I don't think I took it serious enough and kept thinking I was too young. And I was too embarrassed to admit to the doctor that I still had not lost that weight. Happy to admit I do have an appointment in March. And I know she won't be happy with me and has no bones about telling me so ,but I thought about not making an appointment at all. So I am glad that I did. So in light of all that......I have decided that I need to get serious. For more reasons then just the above, but I think it plays a big part.

So here is day 1 -ish. I say ish because I have been "trying" to lose weight and eat healthier for awhile. Obviously it has not worked all that well. :) But maybe if I blog about it, then I will be held more accountable. At least I hope. I had my daughter take my picture in my workout clothes. I will be posting weekly or bi-weekly photos in the same clothes so that we can hopefully see the results.

My starting weight........gasp! 191.8! But on a good note...I have been bigger. Is that a good note? Yeah I guess it is.My husband was totally against this as he thought I would get some negative feedback. I think losing weight and trying to be healthier are positive things. And so I hope to keep my posts as positive as possible. I can't control the rest of the world so I will just try to be open if I get any negative comments.

So......here it goes! Wish me luck! :)
