in Introduce Yourself
Hello!
New to this site. Laying in bed irritated because I can't sleep due to the caffeen I have had today and started thinking of how achy and old I feel...been thinking its time to make changes...but now i am stay home mom/lil'farm wife and have time to focus on me a little more.
Kind of keeping it semi low key on home front. They already knew that with new mini farm I wwanted to grow and raise our own food but my exercise will start out low and in mornings before everyone is up....figure I have 5acres and a hell of a driveway I will work on tackling first :) want to be able to make it down and back without feeling like I'm dying....then to be able to walk to end of road and back to prepare walking kid to and from bus stop (with out dreading the idea) then I want to help my family get healthier...all thin but don't feel active enough and husband is achy like me...kids get "tired" and "hot" way too easy for 4 & 6yrs old.
That's about it for this newbie :)

    Welcome! i also live on 5 acres in rural Kansas. I have a four year old son, and have learned to find creative ways to burn calories here at home since I can't just up and go hiking or biking. I have two horses, so I spend a lot of time with them, but have also started jogging around the horse pasture (I get some crazy looks from them sometimes, lol). This site is so great for motivation and meeting new friends. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!

    Hello! I am also new to this site, and a "farm lady" as well. I have been overweight for the last 9 years of my life and am ready to change! I just joined this site yesterday and it is absolutely amazing! It is so easy to log your information, and by what I've noticed, the support here is unbelievable! Feel free to friend me, and good luck with your journey!!!!!!!
