Howdy Ya'll!
Welcome to my new blogspot! Hope all of you are having a wonderful beginning to 2012!
Something happened today that sparked the need for this new blog. Clint and I brought the boys down to Omaha to visit the nurses they had in the NICU and UNMC while Clint attends a work conference for a couple of days. No, that isn't what sparked this need...wait for it. Ok, so I thought that I would bring the boys' swim trunks and little swimmers so that we could enjoy ourselves down at the pool sometime during our trip...now do you see where this is going? As I was getting some little floaters for the boys to use, it hit me. If the boys are going to go swimming, that means I am going to go swimming....if I am going swimming, that means I will need to be in a SWIMSUIT- if I need to be in a swimsuit.....OH NO!
The fact that I would even worry about being in a swimsuit, to the point that it really put a downer on taking the boys swimming, means that it is time to do something about my figure so that I NEVER hold back on something so fun. I have said for a long time that I have needed to get rid of the extra pounds I am carrying around. It isn't that I woke up one morning and was suddenly 30-40 pounds over-weight, it is something that I have been contributing to over the years. I have always said that I was going to change something. I am hoping that adding this aspect to my schedule, this need to update people on what is going on and how I am doing, will put some extra motivation and accountability on me.
I am posting before pictures, and then will continue to post once a month so that you can see the progress being made. I will also update you with what I am doing to get into shape, and to live a healthier lifestyle more frequently.
So a toast to a healthier lifestyle in 2012....CHEERS! If you would like to join me, please do and comment on your success and struggles, we can support each other on this most important journey!
