Introduction Text I am currently working on changing my lifestyle. I am overweight and have blamed it on pregnancies for years. Now my youngest child is 9 and the excuse is old. When I was younger, I always said I did not want to be overweight like many of the people I know. However, here I am weighing more than those people do. I have seen the stress the weight has put on their bodies and the health issues they have had due to that weight. I don't want to go through the same thing. I have recently noticed my children picking up my same eating habits and immediately want to break these habits. The best way...be an example. I took a break due to some illness and injuries but am back and ready to go!

My overall goal is to lose 75 lbs. My short-term goal is to lose 1% of my body weight each week. I have 2 very active children and I want to be able to keep up with them and be a role model for them and their fitness. 2015 Resolutions Summary: 1. Spiritual: Grow a deeper relationship with God. 2. Financial: Pay off all debt excluding mortgages. Refinance mortgages. Start saving for future purchases/events. 3. Personal: Have a better attitude about my job. Explore education opportunities. Become more organized. Become better equipped to defend myself. 4. Physical: Treat my body as the temple that it truly is. To have body that is pleasing to my husband. (Lose @ least 35 lbs this year with ultimate goal of 75. Exercise 5x's a week. Eat healthier. Drink more water.) 5. Family: Hold kids responsible for their actions. Reconnect w/family. Organize my home. Finish kids' rooms.

I will accomplish my goal by increasing my physical activity, improving my eating habits and drinking water as I should.

I am 40 years old, married and have 2 kids ages 9 and 11. My children are very active in sports and I want to be active with them. I am married to a wonderful husband of 14 years that supports me in all ways. I have started and stopped my attempt to lose weight so many times it is ridiculous. I am commited this time to making a lifestyle change.

I love music of all kinds. I play the piano and would love to learn guitar but haven't managed that yet. I love to read, to the point it could be called an addiction, which does not lead to an active lifestyle. I am tired of being fat and the effects it has had on my life.
