Just getting started
Hi All!
Just wanted to introduce myself! I am just your average American mom. I work full time, chase after my toddler, and try to find time for my husband. Sorry it's not more exciting! I think like most moms, after my son was born, I stopped being a priority in my life. Everything else started coming first, the baby, the house, my husband, work, and on and on. Looking back this may not have been the best decision, if I am not taking care of myself, I am unable to be the mother and wife that I want to be. I was one of the lucky ones, I gained 15 lbs during my pregnancy and lost all of it within 4 weeks. Unfortunately, the stress of being a new mom wore me down, and by my son's first birthday party I had gained 50 lbs! With the additional weight I am not able to be the mom I want to be. I want to run around and play with him, I want to have the energy to come home and go to the park, I want to love my life.
I have started the South Beach Diet, I know it's a "fad diet" but it seems to fit well into my lifestyle. I am in Phase One and on Day Five. I am looking for more than a diet, I want a lifestyle change, so I hope this is the change I need!
I am excited to start this journey and look forward to offering encouragement and support to each of you! I know I am going to need it!
Good Luck,
LosinitinCO
