This week, I have been reminded several times why I am on this journey to a new lifestyle.

A friend of mine gave birth on Monday to a beautiful boy! I get to go with another friend to her ultrasound today when she finds out whether she is having a boy or a girl.

I have a gorgeous boy and am looking to get pregnant in the Fall again for a 2nd child. I was very overweight when I got pregnant the last time (was 255 at my first prenatal visit), and while it was ok. I am strong, and have never had serious health problems (low cholesterol, low blood pressure, etc), I want to go into the next pregnancy even healthier.

Plus, I want to be around a LONG time for my child (hopefully children) and grandchildren. I basically woke up one day and decided that if I had it in MY own power to make myself as healthy as I could be, I would do it. If I get a disease that I have no say about, that is one thing....but I CAN be strong and healthy and take care of this myself!

So can ALL of you! :)
