An Inspiration?

I never thought I would be an inspiration to anyone in this life. I don't do anything extraordinary, I am just me and am ok with that. I am striving to be a better me but I am not moving mountains or creating cures. I am beyond pleased that others since hearing about my journey are jumping on the wagon and coming along for the ride. How cool is that?!?

17 lbs down now and I feel great! I am one lb past my first goal with a mere 18 to go to be back at my pre-wedding weight. Everyday I see a struggle of some sort. Yesterday, I caved for ice cream. That's okay with me, I have more control now than before and can keep my sweet tooth as long as it is not a daily routine. Another struggle for this full-time working mom, is finding time to work out. My time when I am not working wants to be totally devoted to my little man and my husband but I need to do this for them and for me. First and foremost I need to regain love in myself so I can be a better mother and wife. I need to be healthy so Logan can grow up knowing how to be healthy and happy---which is a wonderful gift to give him. Balance is a daily struggle for me but will get there.

A New Me

I just re-read my previous two posts. I am a bit of a blog slacker--eh, whatever. What is new in the world of ME?? Well, let me tell you. Since Octover; we have moved back to Oil City and I have committed to myself to be a better me and thus far stuck with it! Go me! I completed last night C25K week 3 day 2 and am loving it, really--who thought I would love to run? I have decided to sign up for my first 5k this coming June. It is an easy, flat trail and I am pretty excited about it! My goal is to finish, even if that means having to walk some of it.

In the past month and a half I have really started taking my journey to heart and really working on my weight loss venture. When I started 6 weeks ago I tipped the scale at 215 lbs (Yikes) and today I stepped on and to much excitment saw 199.5!! Hello ONDERLAND!!! My first goal was 199, can I do that---heck yes! I AM NOT GOING BACK!!!

I have rid my life of some toxic relationships and I must say- I have not felt this "me" in years!!
