Welp here it goes. Have you ever looked in the mirror and said "WOW I look gross"? I don't do that at all; I avoid the mirror and cover myself up completely if I have to be in fromt of it. A rather pathetic thing to do for an athlete...well I used to be one. I played sports growing up soccer, track, cheerleading, volleyball, and many others. I loved soccer the most. I played all the time. In highschool that was where it was at for me. Eventually I went to college and playing soccer paid for part of it. Eventually life got busy and I spent less and less time playing sports and more time as a mother. Having a child did wonders for my body,. but that's what I get for being a lazy toosh. Now six years after having my daughter I am in the worst shape of my life and really I am just tired of not being who I know I can be.
I have been inspired to lose weight be seeing a mojor change in an old friends life. She was a thick girl, but by no means fat. I always saw her as pretty probably because I knew what an amazing person she was. She had her first child (who might I add is just adorable) and just a short year later she is in the best shape I have ever seen her in. She did it the right way, hard work and motivation. I strive to be as much as an insperation as she is to me.
Now for my goals, I would share exactly what they are but I am not to the point where I want to talk about my weight. I will share that I am currently at risk for heart issues, breathing issues, and I am probably suffering from sleep apnea. I have broke it down into three different goals. I think if I set one goal I would feel slightly overwhelmed and I would just give up. Since the whole idea is to not give up I figured I would start small then go big (or get smaller). I would like to be able to say by the end of this summer that my first goal has been met and I am well into the second.
I want to be the best me possible for me and my kiddo.
Step one:
 Get off my lazy ass and walk (and maybe jog a bit if I dont pass out)

  1. This is fantastic!!!! I am so proud of you! I know you will achieve every goal you set. I'm so glad to see that you've set a big goal and some smaller ones. I definitely did that as well. It really, really helps keep you motivated and so that the big goal doesn't seem quite so daunting. Get it girl!!
