Im on an "Amazing Journey" to boost my health, happiness, confidence, and
energy. This is more of like my own personal journal to keep myself accountable. I am currently a single mom of a 5 yr old and a full-time senior college student at a four year university. I strive to be a good role model to my son and to others around me, but am struggling with my weight.
Throughout my former years I have bounced back and forth from heavy, chubby, and fit. After I had my son five years ago I did not lose any of my baby weight and struggled with my self confidence, which of course I am still working on. From the challenges I faced becoming a single mother at the age of 19, normal daily stresses, and somewhat of a depression I sadly turned to food, well JUNK FOOD for encouragement. It hurts to actually type that statement, but it is the truth and my goal is the face the truth, battle it, then win this war. :)
My goal is not to be skinny. I want to be strong, fit, healthy, happy, confident, and be an inspiration to others. Taking my height and weight into account, the happiest I have ever been with my body was when my BMI was around 22 to 23. Starting this first day of this official "battle", I am 40.8 BMI. Wow, almost (close) to double what my ideal BMI is.
I know I have been mentioning BMI alot and I know in some cases BMI is not an ideal measuring tool. Individuals that have very dense bones or are muscular can show higher BMI's than others.
I hope that by doing this blog will help me stay accountable and possibly inspire others in some way or another.
