I look at myself now and wonder how I got to be the weight that I am. I had been on the track to weight loss and at one point had even gotten down to 234 lbs. But now I am back up to 292 lbs. and I know that for my own health I need to get back on track.
I have recently finished classes to get my real estate license for work and am not so completely swamped. During the classes I was working full time in addition to the classes. I am also a full time mother and wife. My husband has been out of work for several months due to an injury, we are hopeful that he will be back to work by the new year. However during this time I would come home completely exhausted and the last thing I wanted to think about was cooking a healthy meal. So it was pick up from anywhere fast... chinese, KFC, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, the quick fried foods from the grocery deli. All of which have contributed to my current condition.
So it's time to refocus and hopefully stick to a healthy lifestyle. I need to be held accountable to the choices I make and I really need to make time to exercise everyday. I have several workout videos, a exercise ball, and a gazelle. I just need to make it a priority. Beginning tomorrow I will be tracking my meals and exercise. I find myself tired all the time but this has to become a regular part of my daily life.
