A better me

I've decided to finally start taking better care of myself, and part of that will be holding myself accountable for what I'm eating and doing to make better/healthier choices. The hope is to track progress (or lack thereof) and have it to look back on down the road. 

Part of my weight gain comes from poor food choices and poor eating habits, life stressors, lack of sleep, and preference for beer. The other part comes from lack of adequate exercise. Having seen in the past what a good workout routine can do for my attitude (and my bod'), I'm beginning to find the traces of motivation, again.  I pray that I can hang onto it and push through the toughest first few weeks of routine change. It's about time I put time into me again, and remind myself the boundaries I can overcome with my mind and my determination. I strive to be a better person, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. So, wish me luck. This sh@t will not be easy! 

The biggest thing will be remembering and finding the time to blog. For my future-self, I hope I can maintain it.
