New here, hoping to stick with it this time!

Just wanted to introduce myself I'm a single mom of three little ones, with a few too many extra pounds, and too little time to exercise properly I realized that I need to start taking care of myself better, so I can take care of my kids better though, so here I am!

I started last week, and did pretty well, dropped about 4 lbs in a week (mostly water, I'm sure - I'm horrible at drinking enough water!) but we had a death in the family on Tues, and I fell off the wagon with all the funeral prep etc. But it's a new week, and I'm determined to make a fresh start.

My current exercise goals are to get out on my roadbike at least 2x per week, and to start the JM 30 Day Shred (I'm battling a cold right now, so I'm going to wait until I feel better to start, so I'm not setting myself up for failure though)

Any motivational tips etc are greatly welcomed!
