If you are new here, here’s what has been going on for the past month (well… my adult lifetime to be exact);

Do as I say, not as I do

As you may know, or have read in an earlier blog, I have two children ages 11 and 7.  You may be wondering what kind of Mom I am as I am apparently not setting a good example for them in the weight area.  I wonder that daily myself; if I am doing enough to offset the obvious.

Excuses, Excuses...

  • I don’t have time to exercise,
  • I am too tired to exercise after work, kids…,
  • I can’t afford a gym membership,
  • I don’t know how to eat properly,
  • I can’t afford to eat healthy,
This week’s blog is all about excuses.  Ever heard (or used) any of the above?

Sidelined and Hungry

Now that the technicalities are done, the numbers are posted and you know how to figure out your own numbers, (check the last three blogs for this information if you are new here) I can talk about what's going on in real life.

What's the plan?

Planning, planning, planning

In real estate, it's all about location, location, location. In weight loss it's planning, planning and more planning!
1. Plan your meals, snacks and even water intake.
2. Plan your exercise; cardio, strength and stretching.
3. Have backup plans for the unexpected, because we all know anything can happen! I am definitely a personal friend of Murphy (and his laws).

Here we go!

Starting with the (high!) numbers

My name is Tracey and I need to lose weight to become as healthy as possible! I am 37 years old, have been married for 15 years and have two kids ages 11 and 7. I have lived in the area for the past 10 years and 45 mins away for most of my life prior to that. After having my first baby, I left my career and became a stay at home mom. Right now, I work at a restaurant most days of the week and work at the YMCA as a fitness instructor, personal trainer and personal conditioning centre staff in my “spare” time, when I am not at an arena or chauffeuring kids elsewhere.

This Is My Story...

So, in an attempt to improve my health for good this time, I am going public! Public, that is, with my own personal fitness and weight loss journey…..
