Introduction

       I'm sitting here wondering what I should type.  This is my first ever blog and I'm not sure how to begin.  I wanted to write about my journey to lose the pregnancy pounds I racked up with my two kids, L and H.  As I'm sitting here not exercising, my youngest, H, is getting his sweat on in his Jolly Jumper.  Surprisingly I don't feel guilty about that.  I also don't feel guilty that I took H for a walk in his stroller this morning just so we could hit up the local bake sale before all the cupcakes were gone.  Why, you ask?   I've decided that this is my last "fat" weekend.  Tomorrow I have a date with my hubby, and on Sunday I will finally start, for the hundredth time, my pregnancy pound eviction.  This time it WILL be different.  Okay, okay, I know I've said that before but I really mean it this time!  Stop laughing, I can hear you.  Actually I thought that starting this blog might be a good way for my to stay on track.  Maybe I will find others who can relate and we can all support one another.  I didn't want this to sound so Kumbaya but I really can't do this on my own, I've tried and I'm too weak.  Oh and I love food as well.  I love to cook, I love to bake, I love to watch other people cook and bake.  And of course there's the fact that if we don't eat, we die!  If that isn't motivation enough to keep eating I don't know what is!  So tomorrow I'm going to have a nice lunch, eat popcorn while I watch the Hunger Games (ironic) and mentally prepare myself to begin my own personal version of the Hunger Games.

      But I'm sure my weight loss won't hold your interest forever so, I'm going to touch on other topics of interest as well, I just haven't decided what yet....hmmm.   More on that later.  I'm not quite brave enough to post my beginning weight but I will say that I would like to lose about 28-30 pounds.  Besides altering my diet, I would like to become more consistent with my running program.  That's another thing I love to start and then stop.  It seems like to only time I have to be able to exercise is in the evening which is when I'm usually wiped out from eating and child rearing.  Oh and all my favourite television shows come on then too.  Okay that'a all for now....I need to keep you coming back for more.  So tell your friends, your neighbours, the lady who gets you your coffee everyday at Tim Hortons to come and read this blog.  Really, do it.....I need all the help I can get!
