Hello

Hi MFP peeps, My name is Annette and I am a 46 year old wife, mother, employee, and student (just finishing up my Masters.) This last few years of work and school I have become much more sedentary than I should be, hours of sitting at work and then hours of homework once I got home...I gained and gained without really acknowledging it. This last week I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and actually stepped on a scale...HUGE wake up calls. So I decided change was needed. It will be a challenge to keep balance between what my responsibilities are and fitting in the needed exercise, but I am determined to make the lifestyle changes that will keep me healthy and fit. So far the journals here have been perfect, really letting me see where I am each day. I am excited to take this journey, even though I am worried about staying motivated when I am working 50+ hours for the next couple of months for my schooling.
