I am not sure what to say about myself... I am a stay at home mother of three who has some how found herself over weight and not all that active, though my profile pic may not show that.

This last year I have begun to feel old and dissatisfied with myself. I told myself this year I would make a change and it starts here, today.

I find dieting and exercising very difficult to get into... I am a meat and potatoes girl and I don't like a lot of wierd or obscure spices, hence, dietary foods don't taste very good to me nor are they filling.

As for getting up and creating a workout/exercise routine... Have you ever heard the saying, "A mothers work is never done?" This is the story of my life and I feel that if I am not constantly cleaning or picking up after someone then I am falling behind and that's just not acceptable.

It is beginning to look as though I am going to have to regiment my life and that of my kids if I am ever going to meet all the goals I have for myself. I don't like regiment. Life is far less stressful when you're able to roll with the punches or fly by the seat of your pants...

Oh well... thus begins a whole lifestyle change and that includes some of my mindsets, which is not going to come easy for me. Wish me luck and I'll do the same for you.

Oh... btw, some of my goals are to lose the exess weight, get back into shape. I would like to be able to do the 5k Koman run next September (I've never been much of a runner). And eventually (long term goal) I would like to be able to bike and maybe even run with my wonderful husband... he's a triathlete - I have my work cut out for me!!! And last but certainly not least, once my youngest child goes to school I would like to go back to college.
