A NEW WAY OF LIFE! FINALLY!

Steve and I have FINALLY found, somewhere inside, the desire to FINALLY get in shape and better our lives! For years it has been excuse after excuse as to why we weren't going to exercise, eat healthier, and become more active. WHAT WERE WE WAITING FOR? It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it was at what point in time that the final decision was made, but we are on our way to getting in shape and being better role models for those who matter most in our lives; our children and other family members, and whoever else may be watching us either from close distances, or from a far. I hope to inspire many as I start this journey. Who in their life wouldn't want to change their lifestyle if they notice the numbers on the scale slowly rising? I was in denial for so long as I watched the scale slowly climb. My clothes were getting tighter, and I was in denial. "It's okay," I would tell myself. "I am still happy. I still have family that love me. I am still the same fun-loving person. I won'tlet my happiness be determined by the numbers on the scale. I see people that are bigger than me..." Where and when do the excuses end?? I can guarantee that they don't end until YOU decide for yourself that it's NOT okay to make excuses anymore. And that is what we started doing just last month. I will be happy to share my thoughts and experiences with all who are willing to read. I will eventually make a youtube video of my transformation when I reach my goal weight, but that will be several months down the road. I may, in time, get brave and begin to share some before and after photos! I am still in that phase where I am ashamed of how far I let myself go, and how awful (seriously!) I look in my day 1 pictures! But I will cherish them as I go through this journey, because I know that I never want to look or feel like that again! And I still know that my happiness is not determined by the numbers on the scale, but by how I FEEL inside and out and already I feel a HUGE difference!
