My Decision & Goals

Today is the day that I have decided that I am going to lose my weight.  I have been fat all of my life, and now I am going to put an end to it!  I am sick of feeling like I cannot do anything.  I am tired of feeling drained, when I have done nothing.  I want to be around for my son.  And to teach my son healthy eating habits! 

I am a single parent from Wyoming.  I have worked in the Oil & Gas Industry for about 5 years until I got laid off!  I got laid off and so I went back to school.  I have been going to a Community College since I got laid off.  Now I am going to be going to UCMT.  Utah College of Massage Therapy.  I have always wanted to do this, and so now is my opportunity.  

 

Here are my stats!

Height: 5' 6"

Weight: 284 pounds

BMI: 45.83 for those of you who do not know what that it, it is Body Mass Index.  It says that I am Obese.  A normal BMI is 18.5 to 24.9.

(I think I will stop at that for now, maybe I will post my other measurements on here tomorrow.)

I am going to post here daily.  Not to show everybody that reads this, but to show myself that I can!  I am posting about eight pictures of myself on here to show what I look like before I start.  These pictures are from the last couple of years.  

This is me & my son Ethan at the Monster Truck Show.

This is a picture of me trying to look cute, with a new puppy in my arm.  Has anybody noticed that a lot of the pictures taken are by cell phones? So you can always see that arm holding up the phone.

This picture I thought I was looking HOTT!.... And I think I was DRIVING! Ahhhhh!  I was going to see my former fiance.

This is me when I was a bit thinner!  I actually really like this picture.  Hmmm, I think this is about 3-4 years ago.  (hopefully soon, I will like an even better picture)  Oh, do you see that arm?  CELL PHONE PICTURE!

Another Cell Phone Picture, this was 2 Chrismas's ago.  So that would be 2008.  CHEESY SMILE!  ha ha!

My sister, My Grandpa, and ME!  Yes I am in a Dress!

 THIS IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO PUT ON THIS VERY PUBLIC BLOG.  BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A CHANGE, AND SO HERE GOES NOTHING!!!

ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE THIS?

ARE YOU REALLY SURE?

ARE YOU SURE?

OKAY, HERE GOES NOTHING!

Ethan & I swimming!  I hate going to the pool, but he sure loves it!

Things you do for your kids!

Okay so I guess if you wanted to read the rest of blog, then you HAD to look at my REALLY FAT - Fat pictures!

I do not know what "diet/lifestyle" I will be following.  For right now, I am going to stay away from the Devil Foods.  Pop, Candy, Sweets, and BREAD!  And I am going to exercise.  I have enrolled in a kickboxing class.  And on the days that I do not have a kickboxing class I make sure I do some kind of exercise.  I would like to walk at least a mile everyday, but the weather here is very unpredictable.  I just want to make sure that I am moving more than I have been.  For example.... instead of asking one of the kids to do something, I will get up and do it myself.  Instead of walking across the street to the store.... I will walk or ride my bike.  I have Wii Active, and so I will do a routine on there... at least I am working out (and that does work you). I think this is where I need to start for now, and I will work my way up to heavier workouts.   I know that is not a lot to start out with, but I need to start somewhere! 

Well, it is time to go to Kickboxing!  Wish me LUCK!  I WILL NEED IT!!

Your Friend,
