The beginning

I don't even know really where to start but I created this blog to help me document my fitness journey. I have struggled with my weight for about 6 to 7 years now. I never really paid attention to my weight when I was first married. If my pants did not fit then I would just go buy bigger ones. It wasn't until after I had my kids and was looking back at pictures when I realized that I have actually gotten very big.


I have been trying to "diet" now for about 2 years. I did an ultimate loser through my gym because I didn't know where to start so I figured that would help me and it did. It was a 10 week course and I had a personal trainer for 2 days of the week and was required to workout for at least an hour for 6 days. I did good with it and ended up losing about 16 pounds in 10 weeks. My ending weight was 172, which was the lowest I had been at in a very long time. Well after the competition I started slacking on going to the gym and to make a long story short, here I am a year and a half later and I have gained all the weight back plus some.


I am sick of the way I feel and look. I don't think I look good or sexy to my husband and I want to. I feel embarrassed when I am at my daughters dance practices and I am the heaviest mom there. I am ready to commit to changing the way I eat and I want to fall in love with the gym. I want to have that rocking body!!


As of today I weigh 200 even. My end goal would to be in the 140's. I want to be able to be there for my kids and to be able to play and ride roller coasters with them. I want to show them how to treat and respect their bodies. I know it is going to take a lot of work and dedication but I am ready to jump in with both feet. I am ready to show my friends and family that I can really do it and keep it off!!


I have found a good eating schedule that I am going to try out for a week and see how it goes. I need to really watch what I am eating and get rid of all the junk food and even the fast food.


So here is to starting my weight loss journey. I hope to find more energy and to learn how to really enjoy eating the healthy foods in life. Here is to also finding that girl that my husband married 9 years ago!! Wish me luck :)
