Christine Jeffries is About to Lose It

I contend that being shorter, and being chesty doesn’t help either, it is harder to lose weight. Especially since, as mentioned in my bio, I have a love/hate relationship with my daily workouts. I also am a carb junkie.

I can blame my seriously-pushing-40 age. I can blame my thyroid (the test came back negative). I can blame my kids because they don’t allow me to sit and eat a healthy meal. But when it comes down to it, I’m responsible for my well-being and I’ve got to take control of this thing before it gets more out of hand.

So I’m making a pact with myself and my friend. I will track what I eat and I will track my workouts to try and see where I’m going wrong. I will not post that I ate a bag of Doritos or a bucket of ice cream, because I won’t do it.

I will post that I ran 2 miles today, and I’m going to yoga tomorrow morning (my friend is meeting me so I won’t blow it off). I will eat 2 fruits and 2 veggies today. I’ll let you know if I reach my goals. My login is MsCJ0413 if you want to “friend” me and start your own healthy lifestyle goals.

Christine Jeffries is a writer/editor for work and at heart, and lives in a home of testosterone with her husband and two sons. She founded a women’s group, The Wo-Hoo!
