So, I have finally decided to get my life and body put back together. Not that my life has really fallen apart, I just need to get on a productive track. I am the mother of 3 cute kids and the wife to an amazingly supportive and loving husband.
A few year ago I watched a documentary called "Food Inc." and read a book called Eat To Live. These two tools changed the way I looked at food and within a week I was a vegan and down 7lbs. I was feeling AMAZING. That was January 1, 2010. Then I got pregnant the end of August and was still eating great for a few months. Then I fell off the wagon and started eating bad! I gained 50lbs and had a huge baby (9lbs 6oz). Due to having 3 babies, 2 of which being over 9.5lbs, and not taking care of my body I now have something called Diastasis Recti. This is when the connective tissue is damaged that holds your abdomen muscles together. This causes pain from a hurniated belly button and from organs pushing out between my ab muscles. Not to mention the fact that I look 4 months pregnant and constantly get asked when I'm due or people congratulating me on my expectant baby. I am fed up and ready for a change.
I am going to FULLY commit myself to heal my body and mind. I am going to give myself 18 weeks. The first week will be transitioning back into eating vegan. I will start with a week cleanse. I plan to eat only fruit and vegetables and water and some apple cider vinegar. I will also juice and drink smoothies. I am also going to start going back to the gym 5 days a week. FIVE DAYS A WEEK!! I WILL do this.
I will update my progress as I go. I am currently 140lbs and want to be in the 120's and feel healthy!
Here I go...........
