On a Mission

Options
Hello. My name it April. I'm 23 years old and a mother of three, and just haven't taken the time for myself to lose that extra weight from my pregnancies. I'm a stay at home mom, and I know that my lack of activity and poor eating habits have caused me to gain more than I would have liked. But I've recently lost 5 pounds with out any diet and exercise. I think that a bit of stress may have caused this, but it got me motivated. If I can lose 5 with out working at it, I should be able to shed 25 with a little work.
I'm really glad that I found this web site.! Being able to keep track of my progress and see the work I'm doing broke down for me will really get me going. I've just started a new work out plan. I've even broke out the Ab lounge, and dusted it off. :laugh: I've been eating better, and when I set up my account yesterday, I started counting calories immediately!!! I want to lose this weight before the sumer gets here. A new wardrobe is inline for me if I get to my goal weight of 150. My Hunny says that'll be my reward from him. So good bye weight, HELLLLO shopping spree :love:
I've also set a quit date, of this Saturday, to quit smoking. I'm looking forward to a new healthy life, and a new healthy me!! After all, I have 3kids, a wonderful man, and 3 soon to be step kids, I would like to be around as long as I can to see them all grow!!!
Well I think that's it about me!!! Time to burn some cals :wink:
