Hola!

I am busy learning this software (not so difficult really) and trying to modify my lifestyle to accommodate the changes I am making. Thankfully, I have tremendous support from my family and friends, so already feel as though I am a success! This is great for me, because I have a very long journey ahead-with a long term goal of losing 100 lbs.
My motivation is my desire to be healthy and to be able to travel comfortably-neither of which are possible at the moment.
I am a Real Estate Photographer and fairly active as a result-but the activity is sporadic and involves lots of time in a car as well as staring at a computer-neither of which is good for someone wanting to loose weight. I also have a very large family spread around the globe and have become a pretty good cook (not my words-but my families) and after 27 years as a homemaker-this too, has taken a toll. Today-with only my husband and 3 year old Grandaughter to cook for full time-a clean eating lifestyle is about to take hold in the house. My husband is a runner and willing to help with anything that I want/need and I am indeed blessed.
For years I was resigned to being overweight because it did not affect my health-but in reality, it clearly had and today I am coping with that consequence and working to remedy what I can. The new me is the one that I want to be and I want it for myself as well as my family...but right now-it's more for me and to prove to myself that I can accomplish it. Why now and why do I think this time will be different...well because I found the Shrinking Jeans site and decided now was the perfect time!
Have a wonderful day-lc
