So much has changed since the last time that I posted. It is overwhelming to even start in declaring all of the changes. The title of this blog, Transforming Jem, is so very fitting for how my life is now. The major change is that I am now a single woman. My husband and I split up 5 months ago. It definitely wasn't what I wanted or saw coming, so the aftermath of that has been trial filled but I am coming over the hill to the better side. I also have a full time job that I didn't have last time I blogged. My baby is now 2, my little man is pushing 5 and we have moved to a different town. Life is busy and tiring, but I am also trying to get a handle on my weight and fitness.
It was a difficult year to say the least, and when I am stressed, upset, bored, anxious, overwhelmed, etc I eat. I am trying to change this, though. I need the change.
So this is what I have been doing so far:
I have joined the local gym
I have joined a boot camp class that meets once a week, but it requires food tracking and exercising throughout the week
I have bought a new jogging stroller so that I can get out with my kids
I have signed up for a 10K race in June, and the Tartan Twosome (5K Friday night/10 K Saturday morning) in September
Things I need to get doing:
Stop eating so much
Drink more water
Get more sleep
Move more
Stop letting my emotions dictate my working out/eating
When I am working out, keep my heart rate elevated.
I am actually going to try to keep blogging throughout this whole process. This process of becoming the woman and Mom that I want to be.
