Armed, but need help putting my finger on the trigger.
Hello! I'm a new, old member. lol
Many, many years ago I was a member, but cannot, for the life of me, remember what my username was. Oh well. No biggie.
I was just a lurker, and enjoyed reading the success stories most.
You might notice I give a lot of advice, and it may seem weird coming from someone overweight. I actually am armed will a LOT of knowledge and information - I've had an obsession with cooking, diet, fitness, whole foods, and health in general, since I was a kid.
I have an unquenchable thirst for studies and books on the subjects, and never seem to tire of reading them.
So why am I here?
Motivation!
Despite all the knowledge, tools(I have a treadmill, bodybugg, weights, scales, spin bike, balance board, big backyard, calipers, and tons of available time and outdoor space), and ability to stay healthy and fit, I lose motivation quickly.
What motivates me best is seeing other people succeed, and HELPING other people succeed. I know it sounds strange, but helping other people gain the knowledge really helps motivate me to USE the knowledge I have.
My goal weight is 139lbs.
Before I had my 2nd child(nearly 6 years ago), I was a very fit and healthy 134 lbs. I was forced into bed rest during the second half of my pregnancy, due to bleeding, and my weight ballooned immediately.
I kept the weight on after the pregnancy because I love cooking so much, and despite knowing appropriate portion sizes, I ignore them.
I do work out quite a bit(mostly running or spinning at home), but would also like to motivate myself into doing more pilates and non-cardio - Also, using my weights more.
I felt like I should make an introduction, so people understand my own motivations for being here. I know it may seem weird, how I go about things.
Nice to meet everyone!
