This is me....

So here it is, the blog I have been talking about creating for months now. Thanks to a little encouragement from a friend, I will now begin "the next chapter of my life".

This is about me having issues with my weight. I just walked off the scale at 183 pounds and there is nothing about that number that makes me feel good. Weight is something that I have struggled with since I started having children. After baby number one I just accepted the fact that I was fat and a size 14, bought new clothes, and did the best I could to feel okay about being that size. After baby number two, I could not stand the fact that at my last OB appointment I weighed 208 pounds. My first day at the gym after having her I was 185. I worked so hard for two years to get that weight off, I got down to 160 and was a size 10 and I felt good about myself. I completed 2 triathlons, many 5K and 10K races. Now, here I am post baby number three and having all of the same struggles again.

There are days where I will look in the mirror and literally feel disgusted at how I look. I cannot stand the rolls, the saggy hanging stuff (including my huge you know what), and my "muffin top" (which inspired the name of this blog). It is now time for me to do something about it.

My current situation makes it difficult for me to exercise regularly like I did before. My husbands schedule is crazy, so when can I get to the gym? If it something that I want bad enough, I will change it right.

I want it bad enough.

In the future I will be posting my measurements, current weights, food logs, and my thoughts about losing weight. This blog will also contain music that helps me to get motivated when I exercise.

I hope that in doing this I can help myself get healthy and maybe someone else.

Let the journey begin.
