My goal is to work out for 30 days so that I can create a "habit" and can continue on to my goal weight. My daughter turns 1 on June 21. Simply put, I cannot continue to use the excuse "I just had a baby" for being so overweight, overweight now to the point, I am sure, of obese. Although, if I am really being honest with myself, I cannot really say I was skinny before I had Addison. I was overweight then too. Over the past several of months, since Jason's talk at the Chicago convention, I have done some sole searching to try to figure out why I am the way I am. I am a mother, a wife, a lawyer, a business woman, an employer, a daughter, a housekeeper, a charity member. I am definitely a control freak and do not take time out of the day for myself. In fact, if I do take time out for myself to exercise, read a book or even take a bubble bath, I find myself thinking about all of the things I should be doing for my daughter, my household, or my clients .... laundry, cleaning, taxes, payroll, work. It seems to never end. At the end of the day, I get myself so run down that I am unable to care for anyone because I get sick. I have recently felt my baby begin to fail ---- aches and pains at 32. Who knew? The worst part of this entire ordeal is that I was an athlete in high school and college --- a crew team member for that matter, and in the best shape of my life. I had never weighed more, but I was a lean, mean, toned rowing machine. It was great, but then it ended and off to law school I went. That is where the vicious circle started. Now, eight years into my life as a lawyer, I think I need to stop it. I am confident my body will feel better, my business will thrive (no matter what anyone says, skinny people get more respect), and my daughter will grow up learning what it takes to be healthy. Over the next thirty days, it is my goal to begin my journey to lose a little under 75 pounds give or take and to fit into the size I desire (I know, very well, that muscle weighs more than fat, so I WILL NOT be a slave to the scale). I will begin to eat healthier, work out everyday, even if just for 30 minutes, and more importantly, will begin to make time for myself.
