Swimming Up Stream

I gained way too much weight with this last pregnancy.  I paid for it during the pregnancy and now, of course.  Progress is happening, but I have a long way to go.  Progress is hard to see.  I have to keep my hope up and keep working on it.

I'm trying to strengthen my core, build up to a 5K (then a half marathon), loose another 30 pounds, and tone and strengthen my whole body.  Right now I'm 145 pounds (I got up to 165), so it will take dedicated, consistent effort for the next few months to get to 115 pounds and 17% body fat.

I've found a couple habits that have really been helping.  1) No snacking!  2) Eat two servings of raw vegetables before every meal.  I've been making all the kids follow these rules/habits as well.  I hope it will improve everyone's health and cut down on the messes snacks make.

I'm grateful Heavenly Father has given us these amazing bodies.  I pray I can be disciplined so I can use mine to serve Him better and longer.
