From Flab to Fab - one mom's journey from fat to fit (I am looking to be one hot mama!)
It seems that my journey to health and fitness has had a major stall out. So I am going to blog about my journey and force myself to confront the reality of my progress everyday. The last two weeks of poor food choices and total lack of movement have taken a little toll and I have gained about 2 lbs.
I am sick of being fat and out of shape, but I am also sick of dieting. I just don't have the energy or drive to restrict myself from foods I enjoy - or the foods I can afford. It is sadly true that good quality food is more expensive and it is hard to feed a family of 4 on less than $400 a month and have it all be good food. That said, I am making it my mission to use whole food and make things from scratch. I am not going to deny myself or my family cookies or cupcakes - but I am only going to eat the ones I have made from scratch. I am only going to use bread (at least for myself) that I made from scratch - that way when I eat whole wheat bread I know exactly what went into it. I am going to buy and use some new tools to help me with this, but I am beginning to think that if eat real food instead of processed "franken-food" I may find a big difference in my appetite and lose the need to fill some void inside with overwhelming amounts of food.
girl, I applaud your efforts and if you need some guidance on how to eat healthy, I have just the person you need to talk to.........Salina! Ever since she has taken over trying to keep Gabby healthy, she has learned alot of info and uses recipes from back home (St. Vincent) all of which are made with fresh, wholesome foods and food products ie: whole wheat for bread, that she makes herself, fresh/frozen fruits that she makes the best tasting things out of..........so call me and I will arrange a meet with her for you to see if there is something she can do to help you. I know you have been trying and I want to help, besides it wouldn't hurt the kids at all! love, gigi
