My goal is to clean up my eating habits now so when I can exercise again at least I've already started something.<br /><br /><br />P.S.

your first step in getting...oh, my favorite topic!<br /><br />your first step in getting a full workup done is correct. sometimes your thyroid can go all wacky and around 30, your hormones decide they just want to not be around anymore and will cause your metabolism to slow down. that said, you are not relegated to never getting healthy; it just makes it EXTRA HARD to lose weight. <br /><br />i'm also 5'4 and have never been the "skinny". i have a lot of muscle tone/density so those thin, waif-like modelesque figures will never be in the cards for me. i'm ok with that. instead, i embrace my muscularity and work on them to define and build them further. <br /><br />so the first thing i did was clean up my diet. that was hard as i loved eating chips and junk and all the things. i cut out all the sugar and crap and processed foods and salty wonderfulness and began prepping and bringing my meals to work and cooking everything from scratch. that in itself made a HUGE positive dent in my health, weight, skin and sleep as in it improved everything 100%. i worked on clean eating for about 3 months and slowly started introducing exercise into my routine; continuing to challenge myself over time. <br /><br />that was two years ago and now, at the age of 38, i am in the best shape of my life; better than when i was younger. i continue to eat clean and exercise every day, always pushing myself to lift heavier, run faster, race harder...basically, i have found fitness jesus but it did not come without hard work, frustration and determination. <br /><br />so you can do this!! i love that you're taking baby steps; it's the key to success :)<br /><br />kathy<br /><a href="http://www.lifeinprogress.ca" rel="nofollow">Vodka and Soda</a> Kathy@MoreCoffeeLessTalkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044005966979731361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-21795580576229514542014-01-07T03:21:21.504-08:002014-01-07T03:21:21.504-08:00I'm in the same position as you.
