A Healthier Me

I have decided to create this blog to document my efforts to becoming a heathier me. I figure that if I make myself accountable by creating a place where I have to record my health habits and what i want to do to treat my body better then maybe I will be able to combat one of my biggest struggles in my life, the struggle of weight. I have always had a hard time with maintaining a good weight my entire life. During my entire time at high school I was around 20 lbs over the weight I should be, and although that may not seem a lot, that we to me. 20 pounds is a lot for a 5 foot 2 inch frame. I college I finally made a turn. I committed to loosing weight by exercising and eating healthy. I lost a lot of weight and got down to the 130 pounds that I should be. I kept it off even after I got married...until I got pregnant. Going into the pregnancy I figured that I would gain a lot of weight just because it was easy for me and I did. During my pregnancy I gained around 50 pounds give or take a few. The recomended weight gain for most people is 25-35 lbs. When I passed that the doctor just stopped reminding me that that was what I hsould gain. I had our baby girl last month March 18. Now that it has been a month I want to start thinking about a weight loss plan that is healthy for me and my baby (because I am nursing). So this blog is going to be my tell all blog, where I record my downfalls and my successes as I embark on this long journey to a healthier, skinnier me. Feel free to watch as I embark on this journey and if you feel like you want to loose weight or just want to be healthier feel free to join me!
