Exercise, Eat right, Excercise, Eat right

Okay, I'm not into resolutions anymore because they really don't work, so I'm not even going to go there. But, I am going to follow through with my plans to exercise and eat right. I need to make better choices if I am going to lead a better life for myself and my family.

From the time I was 16 years old, I have struggled with my weight. It has wore me down, ruined my self image, cause several health problems, ie:high blood pressure, caused me MANY opportunities to get down and play with my children, and caused me to withdrawal from my husband because of embarrassment. I no longer WANT or DESIRE to live that way any longer. This is not a resolution BUT A COMMITMENT!!!!

I will be the big 4-0 in 2010 and I commit to be fit and fine by 40. It will take hard work, sacrifice, determination, motivation, and Jesus Christ. I cannot do any of this in my own strength but if I put Christ first, He will give me all that I need to succeed. I have wasted alot in my almost 40 years of life and I will not make that mistake again. My husband, children, and family deserve more than that. They need me to be my best so I can be there for them. My kids need me to be an example to them, so that they in turn can be happy, HEALTHY, adults. I need to do this for me. I did it once, I can do it again:)

Enough said!
