All about mama!

So I've decided to start a healthy new life. Last week I began eating healthier and being more active. I've been tracking my calories and have joined a support group on www.myfitnesspal.com. So far I've lost 3 pounds and I feel great. I've been walking more (mostly to pick-up Connor from school). That's about 2 miles both ways. I've also done some gardening which has left me pretty sore today. My goal is to loss 40 lbs, which is a pretty big deal for me. Ever since the girls were born I've blamed my weight on "baby fat". 18 months later and I finally accepted the fact that it's not "baby", it's just FAT. So I've committed myself to how ever long this will take. I wanted to join the YMCA, but with my hectic schedule and taking care of 3 kids, I didn't know if I could make it as often as I would like. I'm looking into buying a piece of exercise equipment to use every free chance I get at home. I can finally say that I'm doing something just for me. I've learned that if I don't take time for myself I'll only run myself ragged. So I'm commited to this healthy lifestyle and to feel as good about myself as I did two years ago. Wish me luck!
