where have I been?

As usual time escapes me.  Could be the full time job, could be two kids & a hubby.  Could just be life.

I am watching my favorite show -- Biggest Loser.  Even though I realize "reality" tv is not REAL, this show inspires me.  It inspires me to go to the gym, to think about what I am eating, to determine what I want out of my life.

So many things are in our control, so many are not.  Why not work towards controlling the things we can fix.  Wow, what a difficult concept.  :)  What can I control?  I can control what I am eating, I can control how much exercise & sleep I get.  Ok, some might call me fiendish (thanks Melvina), some might call me a maniac (thanks Charise) but really, I am just me.  Slightly obsessive, but determined.

Today was a milestone day - I officially weigh what I did when I found out I was pregnant with Noah -- OVER three years ago!!!!  I haven't seen "onederland" in over 3 years!!!  When I was in high school, I thought weighing over 150 was DISGUSTING -- now that is my WW goal weight.  Is that my final goal?  No!  I have many of those, but small steps.....

In this journey I am on, I have found support in many places (some unexpected).  I thank everyone who is putting up with me and my slight craziness about the gym.  What is crazy?  Going 7 days a week, sometimes twice in a day.  Not biggest loser crazy, but pretty nuts for a girl who has two kids, a full time job and a two hour commute each day.   Why do I do it?  Because I am inspired!  I can do this ~ maybe not in 17 weeks like the "real" people on tv, but in my time, on my pace.

Long term goal:  to inspire others to do the best they can, everyday for every reason!

Be back soon -- hopefully sooner than months from now!
