Fitness Friday One Week At Time

January 7, 2010 by Momstart 9 Comments

new fitness friday button copy Fitness Friday: Its Back ON

I set my goal really low so that I would be able to make it. I made it and I feel ok about it. I just can’t really do anything big to make any progress right now except starve myself and that’s out of the questions. I need to eat to help my body heal. I guess I just need more time to feel like I”m human again. Then I’ll be able to move around and stuff.

Then the fun will start and I’ll be able to lose some weight.

I’m eating healthier than I was and making changes and that’s the real goal here, is to change my overall eating to be more healthy. In the process I want to change the way my kids eat too. I’m really worried about my daughter. She’s only three but I’m still very concerned. My husband and I were talking about it tonight and we need to make changes for her.

Neither he or I are large people, we both could lose a few pounds but we both come from the potential genetics to be large. It’s those genes that I see in her. One side of my family, my mother’s side, struggles with weight more than my dad’s side, and for my husband his family seems to be the same. It’s harder for women to lose weight than it is for men too. So I know that if I can teach her to eat right now then she’ll be fine.

Mostly though, I think if we could just get the whole family moving more then it would be easier. I’m just at my wits end here blaming myself. The doctor didn’t seem to concerned, I mean do they anymore. Would my doctor tell me if I need to do something, I mean all she told me today was to make sure that Zoe is eating the low fat version of everything. That’s what we eat. I don’t give her cookies, you would think I’m an evil mom if you were at a play date with me. hmmm. I’m sure she’ll be fine. Andrew and I are both on the more slender side, I’m just  hoping to make changes in my health and maybe through being a good example she’ll be fine.

So back to me, I weigh in at 152. All the moms in my MOMS club weighed in today and I missed it because I’m still taking it easy. Anyways, I felt that I should publicly announce my weight since they all did it in front of each other. I want to get down to at least 145, but would be really happy at 135. I have so many cute clothes that I can’t wear anymore and I would love to be able to wear.

Immediate goals for the next week.

Again, drink a ton of water

I’m going to up my walking goal to 5 times for next week. I know that I barely made my goal of three times last week, but even if I have to take the kids out in the rain, I’m going to drag them out at least five times. That’s the one thing I really HATE about WA. The rain, it does rain as often as people say it does. Guess I better just suck it up and get used to it. Ok, so that’s my rant for the week. Me and changing the health of my whole family so that my little girl will be healthy.

    The rain here in WA drives me nuts too! I finally had enough the other day and pulled out all our rain gear and off we went. We ended up covered in mud, but we had such a blast I wasn’t worried about germs or anything for once. We’ll be doing it again this weekend if it’s not too chilly! Do you have a Wii then? Did you see that new Walk It Out game? I’m thinking about getting that one so we get more walking in.

    I disagree with the doc though, she needs some fat, just not overdone. Cooking from scratch as much as you can and keeping the processed/junk foods in moderation should help her as she grows.

    I just had my wonderful baby boy 2 months ago. I was 140 when I got pregnant, didn’t gain a single pound until 26 weeks… At 27 weeks I was still wearing my normal size 8 jeans! Then all of a sudden BAM! I was fat 🙁 by the time I was ready to have him I weighed in at 177. Now 2 months later, I am down to 151. Breastfeeding has been the bulk of what’s burning the calories. The girls and I go for daily walks, usually about 2 miles or so. My husband is military and were in Okinawa for now.. Without childcare, and without my husband home at a decent hour it’s hard to get to the gym. My goal weight is 125. I’m only 5’2″ and my moms side of the family are mostly all overweight :(. I’m so ready to get healthy!! It’s just hard to get scheduled workout time with a newborn…

    My daughter is 3 and tall for her age but we don’t have any issues with weight for either kid, fortunately. I love healthy foods but the kids and hubby are more fried food and burgers people. I’m the one that suffers. I’m trying to create healthier meals and offer options (like mac and cheese) for sides. I’m hoping they will try some new foods and realize they like them. It also allows me to eat better and put something on the table I KNOW they will eat.

    Awesome Job! Every goal is met by little steps. Eating right is an important habit to form, and starting your kids off young is a great thing, we started a little too late, and our daughter’s eating habits at 13 are sometimes out of whack. She tends to binge eat at times (not concerningly, just when she goes to a party she over eats. So let your kids have treats every once in a while or they won’t know what to do with them later. (You wouldn’t want them scarfing down 1/2 a pack of Oreos in one sitting!)

    Hi There, just saw your link on wiimommies. Great post. I have a 2yo and 7mo and we are also trying to make healthier changes for our kids. My 2yo doesn’t get any junk, only once in a while but he seems me drinking diet coke and occasionally snacking so I’m really trying to cut that out! Take care,
    Christine

    It sounds like you are doing a great job in setting goals and staying focused. I couldn’t help but feel your pain about your daughter. I have a 4-year old daughter who I have very similar concerns for as well. Neither my husband nor I have weight issues, but she certainly carries the genetics to have weight issues in life. Not to mention, she is obsessed with eating food all day long.

    Keep up the good work!
