My name is Alison and I have been an FYM (Fit Yummy Mummy) since it first started. I also have a major problem of doing very well with FYM, and getting my life almost on track, and then crashing and burning. This past year (2011) I have let the business of life, and work totally keep me away from workouts of any kind. I have also been so busy that I have not even allowed myself time to plan for meals, let alone prepare them. I only have myself to blame for letting work move to the number one thing I do. When I am active, and feel physically fit, I get more work done, even if I lose 45 minutes to exercise during my work day. So, this challenge is not only a physical challenge for me, but a mental one.
Starting 2012, I am in the worst shape I have been in a few years. The feeling in my belly is horrible. The extra weight in my thighs is literally weighing me down. Although I have not seen my weight increase much, I know that I am totally out of shape because of the way I feel and my lack of tone. This is going to be the year that I change my life! When I am fit, and eating right, it not only helps my children but also my husband as well. With that said, here are my starting stats:
Starting Stats:
Age – 30
Height – 5′ 0″
Weight – 103 pounds
Waist – 25″
Belly – 29 1/2″
Hips – 32″
Butt – 36″
Thigh – 19.75″
Arm – 9.5″
Chest – 30.5″
Plan my food – I would like to have everything I eat planned, including my cheat meals. I need to take the time before to help make sure I am making supportive choices for my body. This also takes the “What are we having for dinner” stress, and eliminates it.
Muscle tone – I want to look in the mirror, and see the tone of my muscle. Right now, I look and see where I am getting fatter, and I don’t want to feel that anymore. I want to feel good about my body when I look in the mirror, and seeing muscle tone always helps. I also want my legs to feel tones again. There are two places that I gain fat first and that is my tummy and my legs. My legs feel so heavy right now, I can’t even stand the feeling of running up the stairs.
Clothing – I want to fit comfortably into my clothing, and not have to suck in to zip or button anything. I have nothing right now that fits me like it should, and I am looking forward to the day where I feel good in my clothing.
Food Log – Logging what I am eating always helps me see if I am staying on track or not. I also seems to hurt a little more when you have to write it down.
Its time to get it done, and reach my goals for once. I am thankful for FYM and am honored to be a part of the 2012 NYTC challenge.
