Day 1: Zumba here I come!

Alright, so most of you know me who are reading this and know that i've attempted to do this but kinda died down. Quick. To be honest, I just accepted things the way they were. I'm a 5"11 VERY tall woman, and just accepted that I would never be a size 6 or even 8. My father is a 6"5, 250lb man and my mother is 5"9 and struggles with obesity. It was just "in my cards". Right? I've also used the "iv'e had 4 kids back to back" line. Granted I honestly feel that I look pretty good for doing so, but that doesn't excuse why I can't get back to ME. I'm done with the quick fix, lose 20lbs in 2 weeks, and turn around and gain it right back PLUS MORE. I'm done with that soup diet that all you eat is CABBAGE soup day in and day out. All you want to do is GAG and all you smell is CABBAGE. Its not healthy and its just not normal. I need to start something that I can live with. That my family can live with. I want to be around for grand babies and GREAT grandbabies. So I've decided that my acceptance is going to change NOW. I'm not accepting that its just in my cards, I'm not accepting that because my mother is overweight that I'm destined to be so. I'm accepting that I am worth taking care of, I'm worth putting an hour a day to get my body healthy, to get into that size 8 (hubby says no way, he thinks i'll look "sick", we'll see)
I want to feel good in my own skin. I want to know that I am healthy inside AND out.
So here I go, about to put Ayden for his nap, grab a water bottle and shake my booty! I have faith in myself that I can accomplish this.
For anyone who is following this I hope that I don't offend anyone (I'm sure it won't be pretty, pink and butterflies all the time) but mostly I hope that I can give someone some reality. Some reality that there are real people in the same boat that you are. Like me.
Here goes nothing!

P.S I will be posting some before pictures and possibly pictures throughout the way. I think that will help me own up to it as well. I'm done hiding and pretending things will change on their own :)

Lots of love,
Krystle

  1. I am encouraged by this and might do it too girl. Thanks for the reality check. I am the same way. I like this blogging idea to cause it gives you the feeling of people watching and hoping to see your good results.
