Here Goes Nothin!

Here we are.....

A month away from my 38th birthday.  Shocking.  Shocking because in my head, I still feel like I'm in my twenties......I know, as silly as that sounds I really do feel like I'm still in my twenties.  My body on the other hand, well....that's another story.

My body is that of a lazy, overweight, 30-something lady!!! I don't know WHO did this to my body! But if I ever find the culprit, I'm going to give them a piece a of my 20 year old mind!! ((LoL))

All jokes aside, I decided to document my journey because I feel I'm finally in a place "mentally" that I feel I WILL lose this damn weight once and for all! On November 26th I turn 38.  I know that's simple math but that's only 2 years away from 40!!!  I don't want to start my 40's the way i started my 30's and how I lived most of my 20's!!  Especially because I've read and heard from A LOT of people that it is SO hard to lose weight in your forties.  How true that is, I don't know....but I do know I don't want to take a chance and be stuck in this fat suit for the rest of my life. 

My official start date on this journey was October 15th, 2012.  I know I'm going to come across mental obstacles & physical pains but it's nothing I can't handle.  I've been through worst & anything I come across will just be a small price to pay for the big payoff, which is getting my life back and being able to fully enjoy it.  By fully enjoying it I mean being able to chase after my 4 year old and catching him.  Throwing the football around with my 3 older boys and not getting winded.  Being able to go for a bike ride and lasting more than 20 minutes! And, I'd be lying if i didn't say I want to be able to go into a regular size store and buy something off the rack that doesn't exceed size 13!!!  I don't want this for vanity or compliments, I want it simply so I can live this life as long as possible and as healthy as possible.  I don't want my boys having to take care of me when I'm older and I most definitely don't want to be someones burden one day. 

So I will be doing a weekly post to document my losses (or my cries if I don't lose lol), challenges or problems or whatever is on my crazy mind.  Hope you all will join me for this psycho circus I'm embarking on because I think it's gonna be one hell of a ride!
