Jase is on the move! Everyone wants an open concept living area - until they have a 1 year old. Jase has been everywhere this past week. I found that I can baby road block the living room, but I have to continually set it up as Jase can also break though - in search of the cat - or a stray cheeto he sees on the floor - or more importantly the wind chime that I had forgotten about in the dining room. AND now, he has figured out how to crawl up on to things. Honestly, I am so thankful that he is moving that I don't care - but it doesn't give me a moment to sit down. Housework - Impossible!
What's the point you ask?
I feel like all I do is run around, and yet for the last few months all I have done is gain weight. I don't eat regular meals - and when I do, I am usually shoveling it in my face. I have been working at the Elks in the evenings and there isn't always an opportunity to eat - and if I do, I am sure the bag of cool ranch doritos or bacon egg cheeseburger is probably not the right choice. Even the salad I eat on the go is covered in ranch dressing. I am running around with my head cut off, and I am sure that the choices I am making are not the right ones. For a year after the boys were born, I felt like my metabolism was actually working. I might not have been loosing weight - but I wasn't gaining either. When Jase turned one - it all changed. And so did the weather. And being home bound more often, and soup and stews and butter and bread - true comfort food happened. And my stress didn't go away, it just reorganized. There - those are my excuses - out in the open for everyone to read.
So now - the question is.... what am I going to do about it? Isn't that the point #noexcusesmama
I can no longer wonder if I am having a heart attack or how high my blood pressure is or my cholesterol is. I hate that my feet hurt when I get out of bed due to the extra weight I am carrying, or that I have to lay down on the bed to button my last pair of jeans. I am already predestined to be chubby - so why make it easier for myself to be so unhealthy. I just realized that if I loose even 10% of my body weight, I loose a Jase. Pretty much tells you how much I weigh - but I don't care, it is time to be accountable. It is time to loose the almost 30 lbs I have gained since September!I AM DONE - I am done being overweight -
I am done being unhealthy -
I am done being a yo - yo -
I am done not feeling well -
I AM DONE BEING FAT!
I am ready to make changes - for my husband, for my son and most importantly for ME.
Here is to my 12 Week Challenge.
So, today is Day 1 of being accountable! I have a work out partner. I have exercise shoes and I have the desire. Now, I have to find the motivation. Because I have already considered a million excuse to back out and begin tomorrow. :)
Day 1:
Goal: Go to the YMCA - Renew my membership and walk.

Motivation: I want to be healthier today then yesterday.
In Callie's words - "We can do this. (I think)!"
Feel free to join me on this journey - I need a lot of people to make me accountable. Possibly to YELL at me to stop making excuses.
See ya later! Melissa
