Swimsuit Season, Here I Come!

I have finally made a decision today to change my life. I am going to work hard to lose the weight that has been creeping up on me over the past four years. Enough is enough. I have three young children and I am ready to be fit enough to keep up with them. I'm tired of being tired and feeling uncomfortable in my skin and my clothes. I am sick of tight jeans that aren't supposed to be tight. I want to wear a real swimsuit this summer, not a grandma suit with a skirt. I am too young to match my mom! AAHHH! I want to retry waterskiing this summer. I need to build up the strength in my legs though to help push me out of the water and sustain me as I go across the lake. I was able to get up last year but felt weak and wobbly once I was up. I am ready to have the strength to maintain my own body. I need to lose weight and strengthen my core. I am going to give myself six months, though I am hoping that I can reach my goal before then. For now, though, I am going to take this one day at a time. I don't want a quick fix but a realistic change to my life that will include healthier choices in food and adding exercise to my weekly regimen. I have put myself and my health on the back burner for 12 years now and I am ready to step forward and get myself to where I need to be for myself and for my family. I have finally realized that if I am not feeling well, I am not able to give the quality of time and attention that I could to my husband and my children. If I finally take the time to get myself in better condition, if I choose to make better decisions for myself, then I think that little by little, other areas of my life will improve. I am ready! Here I go!!!!
