Hmmmm....how to break the ice before I share with you my biggest struggle. Um, yeah. I guess there isn't an easy or clever way to put it. So. *Deep Breath* I need to lose about 100 pounds. Yeah. And I'm starting now. And.... I felt like I outta "go public" about it because I need the accountability and you might just be inspired. :)
The why? Because I want to be healthy. Because it is my responsibility to take care of my body. Because I love J and want to grow old with him. Because I want to be there for my boys as they grow into men. And because I just know that there will be *girl* grandbabies and I want to be around for that.
The plan? Eat less and exercise more.
The plan for the plan? (you know what I mean right?) Writing down what I eat, so I can keep track better and walking the dog every morning and supplementing with extra workouts when I can. And drinking lots of water.
The mantra? "Choose Life. Choose Life. Choose Life!" This is a spiritual journey for me. I'll share more about that in the future perhaps. Please pray for me as I take the first steps towards overcoming an attitude of self reliance and self worship.
I hope to blog about my journey every monday as part of Motivation Monday (through Inspired to Action...one of my favorite blogs!) I know that Tree Shadow Farm is a journal of our family adventures, but this is going to be a big part of it for awhile. Thanks for supporting me!
signing off to go find my pilates video...

Reba, as someone who has been on this journey much longer than you have, it's not easy, but it's sooooo worth it!! I admit, I've back-slid since I quit Weight Watchers, but I feel so much better than when I started 4 years ago. More energy, knees not as sore, etc. Best of luck!! I'll be sending positive energies your way!!
