projectme Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi everyone! At the suggestion of a very good friend, I've been hanging out anonymously and reading a lot of posts. Today I decided to give this a try I'm a mama of 3 who wants to get back to her post baby #1 body! I've been overweight most of my life, but really found a great balance with food and exercise after my first child. On top of that, I was the smallest I had ever been in my adult life! After baby #2, life became more stressful and I was up 20 lbs (give or take). Since baby #3 another 30 lbs are just hanging around. I've felt gross the past year and a half and realized this summer that feeling that way would never aid in weight loss. In July I changed my mindset and I've lost 9lbs. Now, I'm ready to commit to eating Paleo and use the beginner body weight workout 3 times a week (completed 3 circuits today!) So, in short, 43 lbs need to GO (though I wouldn't mind losing more...)! I'm ready. Ciao for now!-Me Quote I'm a 33 y.o. mother of 3, wife to 1. I float between veganism and omnivorism, but will focus on Paleo during this mini challenge. I am a drama/dance/English teacher. Class: Aspiring Assassin. Main quest: Lose 10% body fat [0/10%]Sub-quest 1: Cook one new recipe per week [0/2] Sub-quest 2: Walk 6,000+ steps per day [0/2] Sub-quest 3: Read 1 book for pleasure [0/1] My mini-quests for this challenge:1.) I will do the body weight challenge X1, 3 days per week. Anything less? FAIL!2.) I will focus on a Paleo lifestyle, allowing dairy intermittently, but no to sugar and carbs except on weekends! And I will only drink water on a daily basis (over 64 fl oz).3.) I will respond in writing and with positivity per week to 5 or more other newbie NF rebels working on challenges (stolen from a friend!) Mini challenge: +1WIS Link to comment

projectme Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks everyone! This is such an awesome community I'm definitely sore after yesterday's circuit, so yoga and walking are on today's agenda. Happy Sunday! 1 Quote I'm a 33 y.o. mother of 3, wife to 1.
