Julabelle's Journey
Hi - I'm Julie. Welcome!
Julabelle comes from an old nickname that one of my crazy aunts called me when I was little (and...well... it's a lot better than the other nickname I had when I was little - think of a toddler trying to say Julie and see what you come up with).
I'm a happily married, mother of two, looking to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Easily said, right? It is such a challenge for me. Maybe because I view it as a challenge, it is a ...
Hi - I'm Julie. Welcome!
Julabelle comes from an old nickname that one of my crazy aunts called me when I was little (and...well... it's a lot better than the other nickname I had when I was little - think of a toddler trying to say Julie and see what you come up with).
I'm a happily married, mother of two, looking to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Easily said, right? It is such a challenge for me. Maybe because I view it as a challenge, it is a challenge. Hmmmm....
My goal is to be healthy, active and athletic, and to ultimately reach 135-140.
"May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. "
I used to work out regularly at the gym offered through my work, but since I no longer work there, I've had to change up my routine. I am restarting the Couch to 5K program and strength training. I want to have FUN with my workouts.
I've had my metabolism tested, and it tested low (1300 calories per day resting metabolic rate). I'm needing to have labs drawn to have my hormones tested again, including my thyroid. (these ended up OK)
My intention: To lose 45 pounds healthfully, easily and consistently, while having fun!
I have not failed; I have just found 10,000 ways that don't work.
- Thomas Edison (I LOVE this quote!!)
