A Healthy Postpartum

To begin the journey to greater health the first thing you need is imagination. You need to see beyond today to perceive that you can indeed say no to seconds, cheesecake and overcome other struggles. Right now all your clothes fit you, your comfortable. Buy a pair of jeans a size or two to small. I knew I could make it back from 180lbs to 155 because I had been 155 only a year earlier and had an entire wardrobe I wanted to fit again.

Since last January I've become considerably healthier, tracked by weight and messurment, I've lost 35lbs and a total of 12 inches which can be seen in greater d-tail in the messurments tab above. I love feeling healthy and every time I'm excercising I get to thinking, how can I help other people break ground in their own health transformation. The best way I could think of was sharing the day by day process that brought me to where I am now.

I hope you are inpired by my fitness story. As I record my P90X round 1 journey and other health endevours I have attempted, both the successes and the failures. I stared a round of insanity assylum, but realized in the first week it was above my current abilities. I'm going to be taking the P90X challenge for another spin.

as a note, I'm still updating my 2011 P90X round 1 story, I did record most days in the journey, it's just a matter of typing them out and posting them

Day 2

So yesterday I had access to good food finally, but ate bad food on top of the good so not that great of a start to my 90 days of healthy eating. I anticipate todays going to be a hard one too. It's Becks birthday and we're having a tea party and watching Jane Austin videos. There's going to be cheescake and other dainties oh nooos.

I'd like to say, since it's a birthday I should make an exception, but my family is so big that there's a birthday every month if not some other party, like Christmas... so that's not going to work, I'll just have to have very small portion sizes and limit how much of it I eat and be sure not to miss my workout today.

I know! I'll make sure to stay filled up on water and eat a good portion of the healthy food available, like tuna and egg salad sandwiches, so I don't have any hunger leading me to eat the bad stuff. Yeah, let's see how that goes.

How did the party go? Well I resisted a cookie before the party, then during the party I feel I was moderate in my intake for the most part though I didn't take just a sliver of cake as I'm suposed to, I took two whole pieces and that's cheesecake we're talking about here. At the end I considered taking one last sugar cookie but resisted, yay me. I also had four cups of coffee with flavoured creamer (I can't resist that stuff it's amazing) and a small glass of wine.
