Okay. So I'm turning 35 next month, and I've just lately had a rude awakening: it's not as easy to lose weight now as it was at age 21. I know, I know--common sense, right? Whatever. I'm too immersed in the lives of three little people to even get to the doctor for a physical. When I called, they told me it had been three years. Years...I was way overdue. But, here I am, 30 pounds (30? really?) overweight since having my third child. Too many batches of cookies baked, too many takeout orders placed, too many late night dinners eaten with my husband, and not enough exercise, apparently. So, I'm turning over a new leaf--because there's no limit to how many leaves one can turn over--and I'm taking advantage of that. I've been at the elliptical for almost 2 weeks now, and I'm hoping to see some results soon. If nothing else, I'm setting a healthier example for my very observant and curious children. But let's face it...finding time is tough. Making time is harder. Especially when there are so many other craft- or shopping-related ways I'd love to use the few minutes of time I have each day.
Anyone else out there in the same boat? Anyone have any words of encouragement or advice that has worked? I'd love to hear from you!
