in Introduce Yourself
Hello!
I am a 39 year old mom of two girls. I homeschool and am swamped most day with activities for my kids which I love!! However, suddenly, as I approach the big 4-0, I really desire to be healthier. I want to be fit and 40 not fat and 40! :laugh: So, here I am. I am trying to really watch the calorie intake and exercise regularly. Wish me luck! I have a lot to lose and I struggle with finding or making time for me. So far so good. I have stuck to my food intake guidelines for two whole days! Woohoo! Now, I need to exercise today. Anyone want to be a fitness buddy? Let me know! I know I always need a little accountability to keep focused.
Grins!

    Your username made me LOL b/c I have nicknames for my kids that involve Doodle & Beans. :laugh:

    Good luck to you! There are quite a few home schoolers on this board so hopefully you'll find some support from them. They're great ladies!

    Welcome to the boards! :flowerforyou:

    Hello! I'm also a 39-year old homeschool mom! Welcome! I know exactly what you mean about keeping busy with the kids! A lot of people think that since I'm home with my kids all day, I have tons to spare time. If they only knew! :laugh:

    Good luck on your weight loss journey!

    3 babybeans,

    How funny! That is why I chose the name...my girls have nicknames with doodle and bean at the end. Too funny! It is a small world. Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!
    Can't wait to see where this new road takes me. :)
