I could call this blog the start of a journey. It's usually what you would write when you are undertaking something new. This isn't something new though. This is a journey I have started, stopped and thought about taking for 15 years...even when it wasn't "needed" it was a daily thought.
I am 28 years old. I have five beautiful children. I have approximately 100 pounds of extra me. It's time for it to go. It's time for me to take a stand and recognize that if I want to be around for those 5 children and my grandchildren, that I have to make a healthier me. It's time to see the baby weight, the spare tire, the love handles...it's time for it all to find a different place to be. It's time for it to go.
It's time for me to go. I have tried ajusting my diet in the past but I need to make a firmer commitment to start "Going". I need to move and exercise and burn the calories. I can stop the intake and stop the gaining, but I need to lose. To do that I need to go.
I have been happy with myself and I have a fairly positive body image. I am not ashamed of the weight that I have put on having 5 kids in 8 years. This is a different kind of commitment. It's not a decision I have made out of a low self image, this is a commitment to be healthier, to be fitter, to live longer, to have more energy...to be better.
It's time for the weight to go. It's time for me to go. It's time to continue this journey I have started, back tracked, started again, and then forgotten about.
It's time to go.
