Okay, okay that title makes it seems like I lie around the house and stuffing my face. I don’t. Well, not always.
I do eat chocolate and I have never been to a gym. Since September 2015 I’ve lost 15 pounds and dropped a pants size! Most importantly though is that I have maintained the weight loss.
This is my gym- pretty basic but that’s what I’m all about!
My weight loss journey began two years ago when I saw this picture. (That’s me on the right and the cutie with me is my daughter!)
I gave a lot of excuses as to why I couldn’t work out- I was too busy, I couldn’t find the time, or I didn’t have a place to exercise.
I live out a little ways on a dangerous, busy road with no sidewalks to speak of. I do live on two acres of land however.
I would never walk on my property because although two acres sounds like a lot, I would essentially be walking in circles in my backyard. I figured I would look like an weirdo- though I’m not sure who would think so since my only neighbors are horses.
In July 2014 I upgraded my phone to an iPhone mostly so I could listen to music.That’s when I began walking. It was ridiculously that simple. The music motivated me to walk.
I began walking every night for about a half an hour in the warmth of the setting summer sun and loved it! I loved it so much that I began walking in the morning too!
I didn’t lose much weight at first… but I did start to feel amazing and I knew I was doing something to help my health!
The purpose of this series is to encourage other women who want to lose weight as well. It can be done without weight loss supplements, giving up their favorite foods, or paying for a gym.
