Hump Day

Wednesday..hump day..which kinda parallels life in a way. There are peaks and valleys along this road of life. Everyone wants to be on top where the sun is shining and we feel the warm breeze on our face. But what makes life exciting are the valleys along the way that show us how strong we are or how weak we are. And we grow. The low points in life are hard no doubt. But looking back it's the valleys of life where I truly learned what life is all about.

So today I have made some progress in making lasting changes in my health. I have lost around 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks following Weight Watcher principles. In the future I will put before and after pictures and hopefully this will encourage others. But for now, it's just me working through this thing, this obstacle that has been before me for so long. Promises have been made to my daughter and promises will be kept. My goal is to have 30 pounds shed by Mother's Day; a present for my daughter. They say you should lose weight for yourself. I agree that in most cases this would be true. But I have been carrying this weight for so long; it represents so many things. This weight that keeps me from moving on in life. Mother's Day is May 11th so I got 25 more pounds to go and hopefully will lose even more than that. Wish me luck!

Change Starts With The First Step

So my first post of my first ever blog. Hopefully this will be a rewarding experience. Change..we'll that's what I'm hoping for. Changing for the better and becoming a more physically fit and healthy individual. I've got weight to lose and a journey ahead that will take me who knows where. But I finally decided that I'm tired of having to think about the consequences of indulging myself, knowing that if I can get to a healthy weight that will no longer be an issue. The catalyst that started this all is my weight but as my blog states "It's Never Too Late" and that entails so many things. So there will be thoughts to ponder, recipes to share, helpful ideas and things learned along the way. Welcome and come back often.
