So I should probably introduce myself

Hello there, I have been "fluffy" all of my life, well from about 5 on anyway. I am happily married and blessed with 2 beautiful children. My husband and I are on this journey together and facing our 30's we're starting to realize that maybe we don't have forever to change things. Our 9 yr old daughter is starting to pick up our bad habits and we know we have to change ours so that she has healthy habits to pick up instead. Our son is 2 yrs old and we want to be around for them both. I want to be the best wife and mother I can be and now I know that being healthy and giving my kids a chance at a healthy life is the best way to do that!   My hubby has recently gotten " on the wagon" and he is doing awesome!  I also recently got a semi-part time job, it's only 12 hours a week but it definately takes more juggling.  I've been a stay at home mom and it brought up a lot of anxiety dealing with finding a babysitter and giving my lil guy over to someone even for a few hours a day but it's working out.  Take care!

PS- I'm still trying to figure this whole blogger thing out so please be patient with me : )

Here we go...

Well here we go...

  I have decided to start a blog to help me in my weightloss/lifechange journey.  I have lost about 60 lbs since Christams of last year with the help of Sparkpeople but I have been stuck for months now and I now it's not a "platuea".  It's because something in my crazy brain is resisting.  I was on a roll and really making great changes and learning a lot about nutrition and exercise....then...bam!  What the??  What is with my brain that likes to sabotage my body?  I have been inspired to keep going by following a blog of a "sparkfriend" that I met on Sparkpeople.  On Sparkpeople she's  known as slimkatie but her blog can be found at runsforcookies.com   With that being said I feel kind of sappy like when on Biggest Loser they pull contestants out of the gym to have a heart to heart about what is "really wrong".  I feel like I'm at that point right now.  I know that I have to exercise and make better food choices, that has become a no brainer but I guess now it's time to tackle the real issues, whatever they are because I have been my own worst enemy.  Ok well that's a good start.  I promise future posts won't be so lame but I had to start somewhere.  : )
