So here it is. I'm putting it out there publicly.
I need to get in shape.
I started a walking program last week. My problem isn't the exercising it's staying with the program. I hate gyms so I found a lot of stuff I like to do at home. Leslie Sansone's In Home Walking, The Firm, Pilates, Gunnar's CORE program....you name it I've bought it.
Why so motivated?
#1 - I have two little ones that I need to be around for and keep up with.
I've been fooling around with 75 extra pounds on my body for about 4 years.
I've labeled it "baby weight",
but the truth of the matter is my "baby" is almost 2 1/2.
#2 - I found another roll in the shower. As if the fat that hangs over the bra added to the back fat roll wasn't enough! Just over my hips a new crease - ugh! And I used to have this cute backend -
like J-Lo - well maybe not as cute as hers, but it was cute.
You could see where my back ended and my bootie started.
Now it's just one big, wide mess.
And don't get me started on my thighs or arms.
# 3 - Time goes by whether I do something or not. A year ago I was all pumped to get in shape for a wedding I went to this summer. I was so determined. I just didn't get too far. Well, I didn't get anywhere really. I looked the same as I did last summer.
This is a new beginning for me. I'm doing this blog to help me stay motivated and accountable. If it helps others great! But I need to do this so I can stay on track. Almost like I'm checking in with somebody. Can't afford WW, Jenny Craig, Nutri Systems so I'm going with a blog.
If you want to follow me or join me on this journey, by all means, there's enough room.
I'd love to hear comments - so feel free!

Well, Good Luck to you Stace! I know you can do it!
My big issue...Not being fit! I've lost 100 lbs., but I KNOW I'm not fit. I need to exercise so I don't lose my muscle mass. My schedule is so crazy that by the time I get home in the evening (night) I just want to crash. (Most nights I don't even care if I eat. I just want sleep!)
So, to be supportive AND try to help myself out...I am going to commit to walking a mile everytime I am near the track for a kids' sporting event (which is quite often). I can't commit to everyday or week or something like that, but I will commit to every time I am there!
I hope I can stay as motivated as you! AND...Good Luck to everyone else who jumps on the "bandwagon"!
I don't remember where you live, Stacey, but I'm always looking for a walking buddy!
