As the title of my blog says.. AKBusybee! I am such a Busy Bee and always running (but not running enough to keep off the weight) This summer.. I didn't lose weight.. but I also didn't gain to much weight either. I found that when I am working I am much better at staying on task for losing weight.
Positives from this summer:
-walking almost every evening with my awesome friend Robin- We have already decided that we will be walking this year in the evenings.
-packing my lunch daily when I was at work-there was no excuse for me to leave my job!
-packing healthy snacks when I traveled
I also joined Nerd Fitness Academy The first section of Nerd Fitness Academy is all over my mindset... so here goes!
I snapped my before photos- these have been sitting on my phone for almost a month now. It also required me to measure myself. I will post those in another blog.
My Big Why for wanting to lose weight:
I am a 34 year old successful woman. I am lucky to have an amazing husband who always keeps me on my toes and I am lucky to have so many amazing people in my life. However, I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary. My big why for losing weight? I want to start a family! By really looking at what I am eating for one thing I will save money- as I won't be eating as much fast food (I have mentioned that I am a fast food aholic!) I am already a very busy person, but I want to be able to come home in the evening and not just sit in front of the computer or the TV. I want to be able wear the cute clothes that my friends wear. I want to be as healthy as I am happy right now! I also want to look AMAZING for whatever we decide to do for our 10 year wedding anniversary!My Goals for the rest of August and September 2014
I am the type of person that drinks 1-2 Rt. 44 Diet Dr. Pepper's a day
-By September 30th I will only drink 1 large Diet Dr. Pepper per day!
