~Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom~
208….208….208….208
I weigh 208 pounds!

Well…
a year ago I was at my highest weight at 216. so. well. i’ve lost…something right? But holy crap! 208!!

I am generally a happy person. (seriously! Lol) But the one thing I am totally unhappy with is my weight. The pain I feel in my knees, my back, the fact that I am un-energetic, and a bit anti-social right now-all this I attribute to my weight gain.

Today is the day. Today I begin my adventure. I am a 31 year old-married with children-overweight-exhausted-unhappy with herself -woman. And it is time. Time to accept what I have made of myself. Time to get in shape and get healthy. Not only for me, but for my hubby and for my babies. Time to re-make myself.

I have the wants. I want to feel better. I want to look better. I want to be healthy. I want to feel sexy and beautiful …
I want I want I want!

So here am I, baring my gorda soul in a blog. Lol! It’s a start. And this will help me be accountable. I will post a picture sometime soon-YIKES! Scary I know, but it will be nice when I will be able to post an after to my before!


Good luck to me and to all of you who are in the same boat! And thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I appreciate all of you. And appreciate the support, prayers, and encouragement.

As I said, it is time. So I have to get off my big ol butt and start my workout!

Yay me!

Great blog, so fun and full of positivity:-) Love the Dr. Seuss quote also. I began blogging myself to work on my issues, weight loss being my major goal, but I’m vowing to be honest with myself… if I’m not who will be right??? I hope to get to know ya:-)

I’m glad I came across your blog. Do your thing girl. Write down your goals…I look forward to seeing your progress. I’d recommend the book The Swan by Nely Galan because it’s in workbook/self-help format.
Take care of yourself in the meantime.
