Hi everyone!!!
My name is Amber and I live in Salt Lake City & Tooele, UT. (Live in Tooele, work and occasionally stay in Salt Lake City.) I'm 29 and a receptionist for an insurance agency. I'm in a relationship with a very loving man.
When I graduated high school, I believe I was 125, I'm now 165. For several years I hovered at 140. But, over the last year or two my weight gain seems to come in short, drastic spurts.
I'd like to lose weight because I am getting unhappy with the size AND shape of my body. Also, I will like to be having children in the next couple of years and want to be fit before pregnancy. I fear gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy and not being able to lose it after. I wanna be sexy for my soon to be hubby... all the time and always. And, of course, more importantly for my health, my self-esteem and FOR ME!
I have been watching, but not counting, calories and not doing too bad. Although, excercise is where it's hard for me, I only have the time and desire (for metabolism boosting for the day) to excercise in the morning, before everyone gets up. But, getting myself out of bed is HARD. I have tons of inspirational tools to help me control eating habits, but the only thing I'm capable of thinking when that alarm goes off is, "Wahbahbumble... need more sleep." I do a 15 minute mile w/ Walk Away the Pounds once a week, if I'm lucky.
I'd eventually like to get to the 2 and 3 mile and also incorporate Tae Bo at least twice a week. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
