A Well Needed Change

:ohwell: I am not sure why I feel the urge to introduce myself; here it goes.

I am 38 with four kiddos. My oldest will begin her Senior year in HS and my youngest will begin Kinder; one girl and three boys. Many times, I have used "being a single mom" as a crutch for exercising or "it is winter, I am in hibernation." I have now outgrown my clothing and my excuses aren't helping at all.

I can be competitive and I know I am a tough cookie, so I have decided to buckle down and chase my goal of shedding approximately 30 lbs. In my opinion, 30 lbs vs 70 lbs is roughly all the same. My knees hurt, I am hungry and, at times, I can get depressed because the lbs aren't shedding off fast enough. BUT, with a vision and some self-discipline, I know I can do it.

As a reminder, with a white board marker, I will place on my bathroom mirror my beginning lbs and end of every week, I will mark how much I have lost. My goal is to lose lbs by the end of seven months. Feel free to hold me accountable because I suck at self-discipline, which I have accepted when my CC coach in HS told me I did. It is never too late to change.

Anyhow, this was a lot longer than I anticipated. Oh well, it is all for me anyhow - that way, when I am feeling a little discouraged, I can come back to this and read it for encouragement. Yay for health!

I can do it! :-)

Peace,
Laura
