Dropping the Weight(s)

I recently decided that it is time for me to loose weight. I am done having kids, my career has taken off and my marriage is stronger than ever. I finally have some time to focus on me! But, like most of you trying to weigh less, I have realized that this is no easy task. I have realized that loosing weight is so much more than pounds and inches. It is about getting rid of all the things in life that keep you feeling heavy--things like being a guilty mom, dwelling on the past, worrying about the future, not getting enough sleep, and wasting too much time on fruitless endeavors.

So here I am on may way...or shall I say "on my weigh" to a better life. One where I am focused on and driven by only the things that matter the most--faith, family, health and happiness! For me, loosing the weight is directly tied to what is important. I want to exercise my faith in God to help me conquer these areas of my life. I want to be more available to my family. I want to lead a healthier life--physically and otherwise. Accomplishing all of this will make me an even happier me.

In this blog I will be sharing my weight loss journey. I will share my ups and downs and the insight I gain along the way. In terms of my physical weight loss, my goals are simple. I would like to lose 30 lbs. by Christmas. I will exercise at least 20 minutes daily and I will change my eating lifestyle. As for the other weights in my life, I want to conquer them by keeping all things in perspective. This is the not so simple part! But with my faith in God, the love and support of family, friends and blog followers I know I can do it!
