New beginning...

So, tonight began my life change!  I am totally changing how I treat my body and what I put in it!  I have known I've needed to make a change for a long time now, but lately I have been feeling so low energy and just overall yuck!  I never, ever eat breakfast and I am not usually hungry until around 11:30 and I feel starving hungry for the rest of the day!  After the kids go to bed, I just snack, snack, snack (on all the wrong things of coarse).  I sit at a desk all day and have no exercise at all...I HATE that I am becoming a couch potato!  I have tried a million and one diet and exercise routines and nothing has ever worked! 

This is going to sound nuts but I went to bed last night thinking about this.  I always do, when I'm laying in bed, but by the time I wake up, I forget all the motivation I had!  So I set my alarm to blaring Spanish music (cause I knew I'd say, wth?) and it worked!  I got up, ate breakfast (raisin bran crunch...mmm), ate Chinese for lunch, skipped in and out for dinner and went for an evening walk with my family.

I already feel so much better and now I decided I would blog about it.  I have a lot of people in my life who just love me unconditionally and I really love them for that, however, I really need encouragement to get in shape and eat right!  So, if your my family, friend, (or husband, wink wink..) please tell me to keep going, don't stop and well, frankly, put down those french fries!!!  My hopes are that blogging about it will keep me motivated and be held accountable!  XOXOXO

My tender heart...

Oh Nathan, my sweet little tender heart!  He is our love bug!  He is always so sensitive and sentimental.  When we took Katie to her kindergarten orientation, he teared up.  He turned around and looked at me and simply said, "Memories" and then pointed to his tears, which of coarse made me tear up.  (Guess that probably means he gets it from me) He is always doing things like that.  Tonight was no different.  Now my kids have their fair share of fighting just like everyone else's kids do, but it moments like this that make me just love them so much more!

Katie was doing her rounds of goodnight hugs and kisses and she went over to Nathan who was busy playing on the computer.  She laid her head on his shoulder to just say goodnight and without saying a word just patted her head so lovingly.  It melted my heart and thankfully I had my phone handy and snapped a picture to capture the moment!  My heart is filled with love....
