I officially started my WISH challenge today.
I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 138 pounds. Stepping on the scale and seeing 138 doesn't bother me; seeing my reflection in the mirror and barely squeezing into my clothes bothers me. I weighed this much when I gave birth to my son. I quickly lost all the weight after he was born but when he was around 2 I started to slowly regain the weight.
We came home from our 2001 WDW/DCL pregnant with a little souvenir. When I was 18 weeks pregnant I was placed on bedrest. Later in the pregnancy I started experiencing pelvic pain and I couldn't walk very far without pain. I continued to experience pain post-partum so I didn't exercise. I probably could have exercised on a stationary bicycle but my laziness got the best of me...so my butt grew.
I really need to watch my weight & make healthier choices in life. When filling out medical evaluation forms it seems as if I'm checking off too many of those - "Do you or anyone in your immediate family suffer from..." I personally don't have any health problems yet....but both of my parents take medication for diabetes, both of them suffer from high blood pressure. My dad suffers from high cholesterol & his father had a series of strokes. My grandmothers family has a history of cancer. I want to make better dietary choices and exercise as a preventative measure.
So what did I do today?
I went to a step aerobics class. I didn't add any levels to my step so that I'd be able to finish the whole class. I did well until the ab workout. Geez - I need to tone up this flabby tummy.
I plan on taking baby steps to my WISH goal.
