Hi, I'm a 41 year old mother of 4. My kids' ages are; 18, 14, 9, and 8 months!
It's time to get down to business. Summer is coming and now that I'm older I want to be HEALTHY as much as I want to lose the weight that is dragging me down. I'm 5'4.5" and about 185 lbs.
I don't have any white stuff in my house (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread)...It's now multi grain and whole wheat. Eating lean meats and maybe red meat once a week. Dry red wine! (in moderation+/- 1.5 glass a night...sometimes just water. I do like dairy... Cheese and such but I have Kefir, organic 2% or almond milk. I love sauteed veggies. I am loving quinoa. I am going to start paying attention to my sugar intake too. So...that's my story. Appreciate this website, constructive advice, and wish you guys all the best life has to offer!
