I am a 47 year old wife and mother to 14 yrs old twin boys - nice to meet you! 5/12/18 - It has been 12 days now since I weighed myself and I have finally TRULY understood what I am a FOOD ADDICT - So like a drug addict or alcoholic - I have to go cold turkey on sweets and processed carbs - easy? HECK NO - but as the quote goes... "If it was easy everyone would do it" I GOT THIS - ONCE AND FOR ALL Old news but it is good to go back on..... 10/10/17 - I have always wanted to run so today I finally made the 1st step towards that goal and started the couch to 5K program 11/16/16 - A Year from now starts Anew! I am tired!! and it is time to take back my life - there has been major changes this past year, new job, loss of my MIL recently - per-menopause beginning - all of which has effected my moods and the 60lbs I had lost by 9/15 is more like 16 lbs lost. I do not want to be sitting at my computer on 11/16/17 -wishing i had started today. Am I scared - OH YEAH I am - but if I do not begin to put me first and remember my dreams, wishes and wants - who will?? There are a few things in our lives we have control over - healthy eating is one of them. 11/17/16 - 191.2 My NSV award system ~ I have a silver charm bracelet that I hardly wear - i also have a plain black leather bracelet and every time I loose 5 pounds I am going to take a charm off the silver - put it on the leather one and wear it everyday to remind me how far I have come. 1st charm added - 7/1/14 (1st 5lbs gone for good) 2nd charm added - 7/19/14 (2nd 5lbs gone for good) 3rd charm added - 8/16/14 - YEAH 4th charm added - 9/20/14 (took over a month but I did it) 5th charm added - 12/11/14 - NEVER, NEVER EVER GIVE UP 6th charm added - 2/17/15 7th charm added - 3/18/15 8th charm added - 4/2/15 - 40 lbs GONE FOREVER!! 9th charm added - 4/16/15 10th charm added - 5/7/15 - 50.4 lbs GONE FOREVER 11th charm added - 6/18 - 55 lbs 12th charm added - 9/17/15 - 60 lbs - GOAL weight charm! 13th charm added 14th charm added - 10/29/14 - It is time for a fresh beginning! - It is time to recommit! I have lost my focus - it is time to grab it again and run with it. So far I have lost about 20 lbs but it was 25 at one point - been struggling & scared that I am falling back into my old habits - that my hand and mouth does not have a connection to my brain - there is no thought that goes into what I am eating - it just happens & it is all sweets and carb - unhealthy stuff!! - I do not want to be this way! I want to be strong, confident and happy within my body! THIS IS FOR ME AND ME ONLY!!

To lose weight once and for all - no matter how slow as long as it is steady. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin and not dread having to go someplace and have "nothing" to wear. I want to be me! I am doing this for me and me ONLY! I LOVE my husband and my twins but I also want to love me!

As of 5/1/18 - only going to weigh myself once a month if that much, I let the scale determine 2 much of myself worth, dedication and accomplishments - NO MORE - I have also gone "cold turkey" on sweets and processed carbs - I AM A FOOD ADDICT and like a drug addict or an alcoholic - I just cannot have those things and hope to make my dreams a reality. Staying within my 1200-1500 calorie range, using my treadmill as much as possible. I also also keeping my sugar intake and white carbs to a minimum. On 1/17/15 - I started both The Beck Diet Solution, "how to think like a thin person by Judith Beck & Linda Spangles - 100 Days of Weight Loss - going to be blogging about it daily to keep me on the up & up.

I love to read - my Ipad has the kindle app & it is loaded with Fiction. I love military romances and paranormal romances. I love to be taken into "new worlds" that the author has set the stage for & spending time there.

My family and I rescued/adopted a brother and sister German Shepherd mixed breed pups on March 10th. They have truly changed my life for the better - it has been a challenge but I am LOVIN' it each step of the way. So grateful for them and so glad they came into my life. WE ARE BOTH BLESSED TO HAVE EACH OTHER!
