The Struggle Is Real: My Slow & Painful Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle & Better Eating Habits Weight Loss Postpartum
After a long time (four years!) of inactivity, eating badly (often on-the-go, binge eating), I am starting this not-entirely-new-to-me-but-now-with-lots-of-changes-and-adjustments journey of living a healthier lifestyle and eating healthier in hopes to fit into my old clothes. Why? Because I am too cheap to replace my entire wardrobe again! I have been expanding with the motto, "There should be more of a fabulous person.") Also, I want to have more energy.
Eating all that pasta (mmmm, I love good pasta dinner) and toasts with Nutella finally caught up with me. So now, every time I eat pasta or bread my stomach hurts for about 24 hours afterword, leaving me feeling sluggish. I have not addressed it with my doctor yet, but I have full intention to (I am also a procrastinator). My blood pressure also left my doctor and me unimpressed. While not horrible or dangerous yet, I normally have a lower blood pressure, around 100/70. So, some changes are a must.
Having gained 40 pounds that I no longer can shake off while putting zero effort in last three years and being 10 months postpartum, it is time for changes. I decided to document this journey as a means to keep myself accountable. If no one knows it's easy to slack.
Stay tuned and join me in my journey to health and fitness!
