Party’s Ova 🥦🥬🏋🏼♀️
So recently my husband and I took the kiddos to Virginia to visit the in-laws at their lake house. To say I was freaking out is an understatement. After having my 3rd child not even 5 months ago, it’s been rough trying to get to the gym and trying to stay healthy. I’m really hard on myself which I know isn't good, but hey I’m human. So needless to say being 5′3 and 260 lbs, thinking of squeezing into a bathing suit 👙 was making me really nervous. We haven’t been to the lake in 5 years since we have been all over the country and finally settling in Nebraska. Thats a long time to go when big changes have happened.
The visit was over all great. There were a few moments where I got really down on myself. I know his family doesn't intentionally try and hurt my feelings but when everyone around you is getting kudos for their weight loss including your husband, and you're sitting there with your slice of ice cream cake 🍰 its hard not to feel like the elephant in the room 🐘. I decided I was going to enjoy my vacation and indulge in the good life before coming home and getting serious about my weight loss journey.
My husband and I went off on the seedo one morning. We’ve been together for almost 8 years and nothing gets passed each other when it comes to our emotions. As we drove over the waves we talked and I told him how I can't stand being this way. I don't feel good, my clothes don't fit, everything I do I leave puddles of sweat behind me and almost always lose my breath. It’s not fun anymore. So we decided since 2 years ago we had such great success going plant based 🍌🥬 we were going to go full board when we got home. Needless to say his parents didn't disappoint when it came to feeding us lots of meat based meals before we left. When we got home we were actually super excited to say goodbye to meat products 🥩.
We have been home for 5 days and already I’ve made the switch in both eating and fitness. Started Monday off with a hot yoga session and after that a strength workout at the gym. Even yesterday I went to hot yoga 🧘🏼♀️🔥. I may feel sore but I’m loving this change. I’m ready for my revenge body 😉 I’m NOT going to let this drive slip away again. I got this!
