Hi Ladies,
Thank you for all the ones who answered and supported my comment on how I would start focusing and taking care of myself and knowing and being the person I want to be , so I can be a better mom, wife, and person.
So far I have lost 7.5 lbs ( 2 lbs a week ) which is the healthy way. I give my self and Hour a day and that is when the baby is sleeping. I let the vaccuum , laundry and all chores, wait til I get my one hour in and that I devoted to working out.
I feel much much better about myself, because I see a change. Its not a lot of weight loss , but I am eating healthy. Why, because it does make me feel good. It does give me energy.
And yes, I did put away my frumpy blck , blue, gray jogger suits ,that were outfits that I lived in, and bought a decent pair of jeans and tops that fit me, and not look like a garbage bag.
I am also happier. I am taking the kids out and not hiding anymore. I am conversing with people again.
One think that really motivated me was the saying " the apple doesnt fall from the tree."
I didnt want my kids to be unhappy because I was always unhappy. I didnt want them to hide from ppl or not socialize because of me.
They are the apple of my eye, and they need a happy mom to be the same.
Its not a quick fix, but a change that I will continue to be at a healthy lifestyle.
I plan on joining Weight watchers as well to continue the weightloss and healthy life style.
Me, means what I am doing to work on ME as a person. It doesnt involve a program that I saw, but basically who I am. ME. I am going back to being ME.
(Lol , maybe I should patent that :)
Way and "weigh" to go girl!! A little bit at a time goes a long way. Glad you are not embacing any quick fixes are fads. This genuinely sounds like it's coming from you, inside, and that's the most important!
Thats awesome! If you (or anyone else reading this) is active on Facebook, I have a support group called "Be My Diet Buddy". All of us on there are on our own journey's to losing weight, exercising more and making healthy choices in order to be happier over all. Just search it and ask to join. (Oh, and unless you friend someone, we can't see your personal profile, just an FYI...) It has really helped me to be in touch with people who "get it", know how hard it is, and can make helpful suggestions. Good for you in taking these steps to make your life better...everyone in your family will benefit from it! Keep up the good work! =)
The sun is a little brighter today. :)
Girl! You got it going on!
Yay for you! Isn't it amazing how much weight affects our moods? I have recently lost a little weight and the joy of fitting in my cothes nicely makes me just so happy.

Ok, I'll bite. What is ME? I have my own fitness and health thing going onthat is working well for me. But, I am curious based on this post and the last one, what is ME exactly? I could've sworn you said pm me for details about the program??
What ever it is. It's working for you! That's great. Congratualtions on getting your life back. It does feel so good to be active and see the weight going in the right direction. It's great that you realize how this affects your kids.
Good for you, S.!!!!
