The End of day one... 364 to go

Here it is, i started to throw the junk away, i have made list of great recipes that are healthy and full of proteins and fresh veggies and fruit. And I hit the gym, for a total of two hours. I don't think i would have gone if my girlie Megan came to help motivate me from being blahhh about it. But Why i was there I saw a GO Commando half marathon run and a 5K run in October. That is my short term goal. I am going to compete and finish it.  So I am down to 364 day, i am going to pound down water, have a nice simple dinner and get some good rest.  Until tomorrow, I hope we all find our inner desires and drives because I hvae found mine.

First step

Admitting you have a problem, food may be my friend but it sure hates my thighs.

I am clearing out the junk from my large snack cabinets and filling it with healthy alternative people in my house may get mad...mainly the kids but they will have to find the will to shut it. Okay i will make sure i am nice to them back. 

Next is planning to work out. I have plenty of time to work out it just finding the drive and the appropriate amount of time. I know I need to walk before I run, But i would love to be around 160 in a year and that means a lot of time moving and running.

...Until i find out what that magic amount of time is I am going with 2 hrs.

AND A GYM I GO TODAY. 

From the Beginning......

So with any good  story to be told there is a beginning, a middle, and a end. Where you go in the end depends on the person you are and the choices to choose.  For me I will start by saying, a am a mother of two wonderful children, they are the loves of my life and could always make me smile. My son who is eight has Aspergers and ADHD, which has made out house a zoo at times. My four year old daughter is a diva in a since of I am 4 going on 24. I have been married to my husband since 2007, and wow time flies I think we get caught up so much we have missed our anniversary twice due to life. I am a former US soldier and did almost ten years. But this is where I am starting to struggle I joined the military extremely heavy and became a smaller version of me while in, until i became pregnant and 12 years later I am heavier than I have ever been. So Today is the day I am taking a stand.


......I thought " stop watching all these shows about people losing weight and do it for me and my babies." But I am giving myself a goal, this is a 365 day challenge. I want to air the laundry and try to drive myself to find the healthy balance in my life. Why do i have a YMCA membership just not to use it. I am in a crossing in my life where I no longer want to be what I see in the mirror. I want to feel healthy, look healthy, and know I am healthy for me, not a career, or for others.

 So, whether people read this or not I want to put my story out there and share with people that this what i am living and although it may be hard today is when i take charge and change for me.

So for Day 1 I have weighed my self and the bad mother jammer said 261.2 WTF!!!!!
So I am a bit taken back and ready to cry into a bowl of chips and salsa.... But no I am not.  Now all i hear is I will survive hey hey do do do do. in my head. I got this ( I hope).

First thing is first, Here are the before shot
