I'm back

Back...what does it mean?

I'm now starting the weight loss thing all over again. This time, with another child on board. While I was away, I had another one!:) He is truly a blessing and I'm so glad he's here. But more weight on, lost it all plus some only to gain some back. Thing is, I'm not all about the weight loss anymore. I'm about finding the right way to find fun with the kids. I'm a lot overweight by the scales and by the BMI, but I feel okay. Of course, I can always stand to lose a few. But, honestly, the weight is so behind the other things that are way more important in my life. Enjoying my kids, my other half, myself. These are the things that matter. We do things together. We play sports. We walk. We play. We have fun and enjoy each other. THAT, my friends, is what's important.

Beginning

So, today is the beginning of my effort to be accountable. Yes, accountable for me. To take back myself and find time for doing things and be there just for me. I am working on weight loss (who isn't) but more importantly, I'm working on finding that person that was me...me years ago. The energetic one. I need to be that for my kids. I want to be that for me. Losing weight is the key to better sleep, more energy to play as hard as my kids do. I have found out that part of my problem is thyroid, which is hopefully now under control with meds.....forever. THe rest is all me. Find time to exercise. Find time to play. Find time to read. And, finally, at the end of the day, find time to be at peace before I close my eyes. I do the last. the rest? A work in progress.
