Be Warned

This is my new blog!  Which makes perfect sense given my new lifestyle.  My previous blog was full of recipes and carbs.  Not this one.  Nope.  Here I will talk about the clean eating I'm doing.  If I post recipes they will be free of any processed white flour and sugar.

I will probably talk a lot about Shaun T, Insanity, workout gear, fitness in general and maybe even my own body.  If you don't want to hear about any of that then I think you should probably just click out, right now, mkay?

Now with that off my chest, let me tell you that this makes me really nervous.  I have "friends", and I'll use that term loosely, on Facebook who would get so upset with me for posting before and after pics of my progress on this weight loss, fitness, healthy lifestyle journey.  I would get phone calls and emails about the fact that I shouldn't have said the number.  195lbs is where a lot of women are.  That's fine for them.  If they're okay with that.  I was not okay with that.  That's where I was when I delivered my fourth baby.  The heaviest I have ever been.  When I got pregnant with that baby, I was at 165lbs.  The heaviest I have ever been pre-pregnancy.  I have lost 60 ish pounds at this point.  It has taken me two years.  It has taken me a lot of sweat and changing habits.  I feel like I should be able to brag about that on Fb because it has been hard work.  It has not been easy!  And I'm not done yet!!!   I don't want this to turn into something like that. I don't want women feeling insecure about themselves after reading my blog.  I am not obsessed with the number on my scale.  I am obsessed with being healthy.  For my future, and for my kids.  I want them to have healthy habits here at home so that it is just normal for them to eat clean and take care of themselves when they are on their own.  It's NOT about NOT being fat.  It is about being HEALTHY!  And it is for ME!

So this here is a little journal I'm keeping to keep myself motivated and accountable to something.  I hope you'll follow along and maybe even be a little bit inspired to clean up your lifestyle!
