2008: A Healthy Estate.

My goal for 2008 started off a simple trial. Take a walk outside everyday.

This then escalated into: "Become healthy" which escalated into having a personal trainer and going to the gym 3 times a week.

I'm really proud of the newest addition to the family, but i'm ready to have my body back now. And yes it is possible. I Know it is because I am living that life now.
It's hard work, but it's not nearly as hard as I made it out to be in my head. The hardest part is looking at my overweight body in the mirror at the gym, with all it's imperfections, and feeling like i am not as good as anyone else. But i also realize that this train of thought is counterproductive, and am striving to visualize myself fit. And as england would say "Become a Yummy Mummy". I'm thinking positive and working my ass off. And even if I cant see the resultes yet, I feel them. My mood swings are less, my cravings are less, and I'm over all more healthy.

I have also signed back up for Weight Watchers online in order to track my own progress and how much I eat. since I realize I need help right now to work out the appropriate amount of food for myself day to day. I'm just not good enough yet at recognizing when I am hungry or not. I'm also not taking into account my activity levels which are much more than they used be a few weeks ago.

So yes, I'm a bit obsessed with health, but between last years health fiasco and the growing problems genetically found in my family (mother's side) for cancer and other illnesses, Health has taken a priority in the the top 3 on my list.

So here I am trying to balance my normal sedentary loves, like writing, in with my busy schedule which now includes working full time, kids, husband, and church ect.
It's is crazy to juggle it all!

Life is good however, and plans to move back to the U.S. are full steam ahead. We're waiting on Rose's passport(s) to come in the mail and then alex can go down to london to apply for his visa. Life is really good :)
