So everyone has to start somewhere and this is my somewhere. I currently weigh 242.8. At my heaviest I weighed 272 pounds although I was pregnant at the time. There was a time many years ago when I weighed 270 and wasn’t pregnant. I have to say I hate being this big, but it really is all I’ve known for as long as I can remember. I don’t remember what my weight was when I was in middle school, but I do know that in high school I was in the 200’s. The lowest weight I can remember in my adult life is 216. Most of my extended family is overweight, we all love food, especially CHOCOLATE, and are pretty inactive people. This is something I want to change. I want to change this not only for myself, but for my kids. I want to have the energy to run and play with them. I want to be able to go on hikes with my husband and not complain that it will be too long or hard before I even start the hike. I want my kids to grow up with good eating habits and active parents. My husband is much more active then I am just due to his job alone. He is up and down stairs all day and on his feet a lot. I sit at a desk all day. I must MAKE the time to exercise. As you can see from my prior posts I am currently trying to MAKE the time. Every day that I get up and exercise is one day closer to becoming more active and losing this weight. I really think that starting this blog is going to keep me more accountable. I just got my first follower yesterday. I must say I was excited to get a follower. Knowing that someone might be reading what I have to say and following my journey to lose weight and become more active will help keep me making better choices for myself. Here are a few pictures of me in recent times. They will become my “before” pictures to be left in the past and not brought into the future. J
