READY TO START A NEW!

Life got in the way of my sexy figure! At least that’s my excuse. After nearly four years of wonderful marriage and one beautiful child, I’ve discovered that I’ve developed a private hatred for scales and mirrors alike. I’ve had enough of life getting in the way, and it’s time to get back into the best shape of my life! T-minus 60 pounds to go!
Let me start off by saying, I am blessed. Andrew is my loving husband, and we have a beautiful little one named Eden. I am able to stay at home with Eden while Andrew is able to work from home. We love to sit and watch movies or play video games while eating candy and pizza on our time off. Soda is something we drink daily. Taco Bell is a place we visit 2 or more times a week. My name is Christy Lowen, and I am ready to start a new.
As a mother, I set the path for my daughter. Whether it is a path to gluttony and laziness or one to a healthy and Godly lifestyle, it is my choice. As a wife, it’s my job to be and feel sexy for my husband!

WEEK 4: Bad Christy!

I am sorry that I am late on this weeks post.  I have not felt like posting the last couple of days.  I was feeling really out of it yesterday and only felt like sleeping, as did my daughter Eden.  So sleep is what we did! I am really feeling great about my body.  I know I have a ways to go, but I feel amazing! I look in the mirror and I see a completely different person than I did a month ago.  Praise Jesus,  brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.  My pants are too big on me, and I am starting to fit into things that I haven't worn since before my pregnancy.  I am so excited! Also, I am becoming addicted to working out.  I didn't workout yesterday, and I started to get seriously depressed.  However, I know I needed that time to recover and take care of Edie Peedie!

Confession time... I suck at drinking water.  I need to drink way more than what I have been drinking lately.  Also, Andrew and I had our very first cheat meal this last weekend.  PIZZA!  The first wheat that I have had in 4 weeks!  Man did it taste amazing, even though it made me sick.  We also had wine!  Wow, so delicious.  I am a boxed wine kinda girl!  This was all before learning that alcohol can slow your metabolism down 70% or more!!!!  OMG!!  I was like, "crud, so I basically owned myself when I had wine with my VERY FATTY PIZZA???!!" Its one thing to fill up on pizza on your cheat meal, its a whole other thing to slow down your metabolism 70% while trying to digest a zillion fatty calories!!  So, yeah, lesson learned... the hard way.  It's all good, I just had to run a little harder and add alcohol to my DO NOT TOUCH list for the duration of this diet.

Anyways... That's it for this week, oh wait!  I forgot to mention that I hate sprints.  They stink. Erika kicked my butt at the track, and I am sad to say that I do not look forward to our next sprint date, though I am very happy with the effects on my butt that sprints have!  Oh and to top it off, the girls college soccer team was there running circles around me.  I would kill to have those thighs!  Again I say, whatever.  I am on my way!

This is going to be me this week... I am drinking WATER!!!!

    Hey Christy! Ok So I attempted to write on here before, hope this works!
    I am seriously loving your blog! You are such an inspiration, and a great writer!
    About 6 months ago through trial an error I found out that I have a soy intolerance. I was sleeping 12-14 hours a day, losing weight and had unexplained joint pain. So when I went off soy it was a life changer. Anyway, I still felt like I was in a fog and always sleepy so one month ago I took gluten out and switched coffee to tea. I've had more energy in the last month than I've felt in my whole adult life! Sooooo..all that to say, I love that you are posting your gluten free recipes!
    You are so beautiful inside and out and I am so excited for your adventure :)
