Hi, I’m Jacque. I’m a stay-at-home mom of 4. 1 girl (12) and 3 boys (10,4,2) I am not used to blogging and basically very cautious and quiet. I have 45 pounds2go, more like 50-60. I’ve never counted calories I always believed if I exercised enough things would work out. Obviously I stopped moving a few years ago (10 to be exact) and its all caught up with me. I have not weighed myself yet. First I have to find the scale under my bed and go buy batteries, but I promise to do it. This week I’ve done better but I sure don’t get a blue ribbon for it. Now the kids and hubby are home for the weekend and there’s left over pizza in the fridge. After reading everyones blogs I now realize I must be dehydrated and need alot more water. I need to get up…..
I started that entry sometime in the beginning of Jan. I never finished it or posted it. It is now Feb. 2 I did get the batteries for my scale and weighed myself (first time in almost 3 years) I discovered I have 55 p2go for my goal. Since then I have lost 7 lbs. I’ve increased my water intake and reduced my portion size and make better food choices. Also am avoiding sugar especially soda pop. I am waiting on my Y membership (long story) but am excited to get started on increasing my exercise. I also wear a pink band bracelet to remind me daily I have power to change my eating and exercise habits and become the healthy person God meant for me to be. Well I need to go drink some water. Thanks Leanne!

WElcome. I hope that you will enjoy this group as much as I have, these ladies are great motivators. It sounds like you have gotten your mindset going (thats the hardest first step for me) and you are well on your way to success. Congrats on the pounds lost!!! Cutting out the soda is huge but it really makes a big difference not having all that sugar as it all turns to fat or so I’m told. Keep up the good work and again, nice to have you here.

Welcome. It took some time for you to get here, but you are doing it. This is a great site, the motivation and support are amazing. It’s nice to know, you aren’t alone. Everyone has a bad day or week or month. Everyone hates excercising. Everyone is human.
You said you wear a pink band bracelet to remind you you have the power to change your life. I am guessing you mean the breast cancer one. That’s actually a great idea. Support breast cancer and use it as a double reminder that you can change your life.
One day at a time. That’s all it takes. :clapping:
