The road to today and getting heathy and fit

Hi everyone,


I dont know about you all, but my journey to where I am today has brought me excitement, joy, love and finally depression.   I am sure I am not the only one who is feeling the way I am. 


My story:
I got married when I was 23 had my first child that same year. Before I had any kids I was 124 lbs.  But I struggled when I was in school I was always the bigger girl chubby and uncomfortable, after I graduated in 1995, I worked hard and lost weight and was down to a size 4.  I was so proud of myself,  I got married like I said when I was 23 and before this I had miscarried my first child and then 4 months later became pregnant again.  I was not concerned about my weight through this pregnancy as I knew I would lose the weight, I gained 60lbs but I did lose it all with my first pregnancy, in 2002 I became pregnant with my second child and again gained 50lbs and I said I would lose it, I did but not all, then in 2004 I was pregnant again, granted with this pregancy I did not gain as much 40 lbs but I ended up having a emergency c-section and afterwards everyone told me I would have a difficult time losing the weight, I did not believe them, but they were right.  Though I dont think it is all to do with the c-section as having 3 kids and a husband who works 2 jobs and is not home much.   

I am now 33 years old and overweight, not horrible but enough to make me depressed over fighting to lose this weight.  I had a membership to a gym but lets just say with three kids aged 4-10 when I had it was hard, to find a time to get there at a regular times a week.   I have so much clothing that I love that I can not fit into and when I try something on that fit last year and it does not fit this year, that is telling me it is time for a change and I am going to do it, no matter what!

So I started this blog to get and provide support for others.  I will be posting what I am doing ea week and giving ideas on what we moms can do at home to get to the weight we want and to begin a healthier lifestyle for our families also, because what we do are kids will follow so why not start now and set that example for our children.  Also by posting a blog on this I will have others watching and I dont want to fail. 

I will try my best to post daily with what I have done that day and any tips or suggestions I have.

I will post tomorrow with my starting weight and once a week or everyother week what my weight is.  Feel free to comment and add tips you know of and ideas for all.
