This morning I weighed myself for the first time in a while... It was a sad number, but it didn't really shock me.
It just helped me realized that i NEED to get serious about taking care of myself NOW! This is my highest weight ever.
I drank a bottle of water, took my vitamins and ate 2 pieces of 12 grain bread with peanut butter.
Then I did my first workout in the Couch to 5K Running program. It was challenging, but i did it. I made 2 full laps around my section of the neighborhood and then to the first speed bump passed my house. I was huffin & puffin, but i made it. By the end my jog wasn't much faster than my walk. One workout down... 26 more to go.
The two biggest things I need to avoid are soda & baked goods. I'm such a sucker for a muffin. I had stopped drinking sodas a while ago, after reading Skinny Bitch. The problem is i started drinking regular sodas instead... so it was good bye fake sugar chemicals, hello sugar!
I stopped eating meat a few months ago. I mostly avoid dairy products & eggs as well... but occasionally i splurge on cream based corn soup (from chili's) or a grilled cheese sandwhich. At first I saw the pounds drop, but just because I mostly eat vegan, doesn't mean I always ate healthy. And slowly all those pounds i lost have crept back on plus a few.
Since I was about 8 years old I have always dreamed of having 4 kids. I always planned on starting my family early in life- I want to be young enough to really enjoy my grandkids. At this point in my life i am wonderfully blessed to have 3 boys. I would absolutely LOVE to one day have a girl. I know I can't manipulate whether my last pregnancy will be a boy or girl... but I can dream right. I don't want there to be a huge age gap between my kids. I'm not ready right now to go for #4, there are some things I need to address first. So I have my list of things to take care of and i'm working on them as I can.
Enough for now... off to work.

Back again.. LOL
I am the first to admit that i'm horrible at keeping a regular blog. But a friend just started blogging and it reminded me that I should be blogging too. I have 2 main goals right now.
The first goal to be be better to myself- body and soul. My first step towards this goal is to make a few changes to my lifestyle. I will be following the Couch to 5K Training Program. I am also trying to incorporate as many of the Practical Applications of the "Raw Energy Life Force Diet" into my life, one at a time. I do not currently own a juicer, so I'll be going without the morning drinks. I would also like to start meditating again, it really helps to unwind and recenter yourself. Picked up some new vitamins today as well.
My second goal is not have to work outside my home... unless of course I get a job with Blizzard Entertainment. :) Right now I don't think my current earnings is worth the crap and the time away from my kids. John is working a second job part time to cover about half or what I make from working. If I can match it with my online sales, I'll be able to stay home to fully take care of my family & the house, design more and hopefully go back to school.
