Welcome

This is a blog that was motivated by mom's emergency visit to the hospital. I, like many of you, want to be a healthier individual. I don't like it when the people I love are threatened by their poor health and I like it even less when that threat could be fatal. I want to be a healthier individual that can also help others by motivating and informing them while undergoing and experiencing my own personal journey towards good health.


So please, feel free to blog about your successes, your failures, your healthy recipes, your personal thoughts, motivational thoughts and feelings, things that exercise our minds, physical exercises or exercise routines that work well, things that exercise or strengthens our spirits, or whatever fits into the category of good health.

My short Term Goal

I have a goal.  My long term goal is to get to a healthy weight, I'm reaching for 150lbs.  This means I need to lose...about 86lbs.  I know that if you don't set smaller short term goals that losing that amount of weight can be over whelming and one can easily lose sight or give up their goal.  Today I decided to focus on short term goals that will bring my to my long term goal in time.  I plan on losing 8lbs by Christmas.  This means I have 2lbs per week to lose.

What am I going to do, or how am I going about doing this?

Well, I have decided that I can plan a rough schedule and hope that Elyas cooperates, if not then whenever I get a chance to exercise I will.  The plan is that I will wake up around 6ish AM after feeding Elyas and go do my belly dance routine.  At noonish after lunch I will take Elyas for a walk, but if the weather is too bad then I will do mommy and me exercises with Elyas (yoga, etc).

Finally, in the evenings, before I go to sleep (hahahahaha, sleep), I will do a relaxing yoga routine and meditate.

I plan on eating healthy, pretty much following the food pyramid, except I will be cutting dairy out (I think Elyas is allergic or sensitive to dairy).

That is how I plan on losing my 8lbs by Christmas.

I honestly will be happy if Elyas lets me exercise once per day, but we will see what happens :)

Hope all of you and your health goals are going well.  Please let me know what you plan on doing this holiday season to stay healthy and fit.

Love Ya!

Kim

    I think there are a bunch of exercises that new moms can do with their babies. May be a fun way to get that exercise in. One day at a time, that's a great way to do it!!

    Here is an update. I have been able to belly dance with Elyas every morning, he loves watching me and mimicking my hand and arm movements. He smiles and coos at me the whole time. As far as my weight goal, I don't know how much I weigh because I have no scale, I will find out soon at the doctors, but I do know that all my clothes are fitting Very LOOSE :) I have definitely lost inches!!! I feel good about myself and I love that. I have started going on walks with Elyas recently too to up my work out and OMG Elyas LOVES that. It has been successful so far.

    Jo_Ana,
    You are so right. There are. I really need to do that with him. I think a more interactive workout would be awesome with Elyas. If you or anyone has or knows of any good workouts that can be done with baby please let me know.
