Hi there!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Lindsay. I have actually been a member for quite awhile but I am really going to try and work hard at maintaining my food and exercise blogs. I recently got married in February. I can't believe it has almost been a year! I have a 9 year old son and an 8 year old step daughter. In August my husband, my son, and I moved from New Mexico to MEXICO! A very small town in Mexico actually. Loreto Baja California Sur is my new home. We moved here in the hottest part of the year here and me being very overweight I was so self conscience trying to stay cool wearing as many clothes as possible because I hate the way I look plus living by the ocean I want to be comfortable in what I wear especially swimsuits. Most everyone here is very active. There is a ton of stuff to do, kayaking, hiking, fishing, swimming, snorkeling, pretty much everything that is outdoor. This means that I need to wear a swimsuit most of the time or be in good shape if I want to participate in activities here. There have been multiple times where the boys went hiking but did not invite me as they knew I couldn't climb the rocks or pull my self up using a rope. It is really embarrassing to know the reason you were not invited was because I was too fat and out of shape. So, here I am more dedicated than ever because I want to go hiking, I want to feel comfortable in a swim suit, I want to have fun doing those things and more importantly I want to do those things because that means I am a happy healthier me for my son, my step daughter and my husband. Please help me in my new adventure here in this new country to help make a new me that fits in very well! Thanks for looking and please feel free to add me as a friend. I need all the support I can get!
