So I suppose I need to do this intro.

um.....

I played soccer my whole life so I never needed to really watch my weight. It stayed fine because hey I was training 7 days a week. I was my thinnest, too thin even, when I got married. Then I had 3 children in 4 years. I found myself at my highest ever of around 175. I watched what I ate a little and got down to 165 then my world was rocked and I found out my husband was sick. My world was turned upside down. We packed up everything in 2 weeks and moved cross country. My husband went into the hospital. Over the next 2 years of battling his illness I ate. And ATE. At my highest I was 222.

I started going to the gym, worked hard and lost 40 lbs. Then I got pregnant again

And found myself over 200 again. I just ate whatever and lots of it.

So here we go again. Time to do this thing. I am so sick of being overweight I can hardly stand it. I want this to be the time. So often I read logs and everyone is so "this is finally IT". I want it to be it. I do. But I've struggled with feeling like a failure my whole life that the whole thing kind of scares me. I'm scared of letting myself down again. And my husband too. But myself most of all.

About me a bit. So I'm a mom of 4 (so far) and we homeschool. I also have a side graphic design business so finding time to workout is hard. But I've got to find it somewhere. I did NROL4W for a while, lost a little weight, saw great gains, and LOVED IT. But dude I was famished all the time. It was really really hard to get enough of a deficit to lose weight when that heavy lifting made me so hungry. I know it can be done but it isn't going to be done by ME.

So I've just been trying to eat right for a bit and now find myself at around 184. 2 more lbs and I'll be able to say "I've lost 40 lbs" (again). I decided to suck it up and buy Leigh's Fat Loss Troubleshoot and work it. I've been weighing this week for the first time ever. It's not hard, but not easy when I cook for a family of 6 as well. I've been having to weigh out everything and use separate pans for my food. Do what you've gotta do eh? Already I've lost weight this week.

Last week I had gallbladder surgery so for now exercise is on hiatus until I'm healed. So I'm just going to weigh and track until August when the Women's Challenge starts. You'll see my *gasp* Before Pictures around then. I'll be trying to post my food logs here as well as exercise during the Challenge.

Well time to make dinner has past. Ill nab my food logs for this week too.
