As a new mom that’s breastfeeding, and through my pregnancy, I’ve tried my hardest to be healthy because I know my baby is relying on me to thrive. I for one can attest that no matter how much I try to be “healthy,” I sometimes goof up and don’t make wise choices about what I put into my body.
I’m not perfect, and I don’t expect that anyone else is, especially when all of us are constantly bombarded by advertisements in our homes, and outside of our homes. I’m constantly needing help to stay on track, and to put healthy options for food in my home, but sometimes I just run out of ideas, or I’m just plain LAZY, and haven’t gotten to the grocery store yet.
I know I’m not the only one that needs motivation to stay on track to having a healthy, well balanced diet, so please tell me about your daily struggles, and any questions you might have.
Also, please tell me about your progress and goals you’ve had through your life. I love hearing success stories, even if it’s progress in the right direction.
A little about my journey: just about three years ago, before I met my husband, I was teetering at 200lbs! Can you believe it?! Within a year, I was able to get down to 135 lbs by eating a balanced diet and restricting my food intake in ratio to my activity level. Of course, once I had my baby I did gain quite a bit of weight, but I’ve lost most of it, and on the road to getting back to my pre-baby weight. I’m definitely not at my goal yet, but I try to keep my head up and don’t let one day of getting off track set me on a path of self destruction.
So, please let me hear your success story, your goals, or any questions, or struggles that you have.
I look forward to hearing from you!
