Getting Started

Well, this is a new journey for me. Blogging that is. I never thought I would do this, but am to help journal many things going on right now.
I have started working on weigh loss. I am following Jorge Cruise's books The 3 Hour Diet and 8 Minutes in the Morning. I haven't started the exercise portion yet, but plan to this next week.
You see, I am a busy mom with 8 children ranging from 2-18. The oldest works and need to be at work early. My husband leaves an hour later for work. Then my day really gets busy with homeschooling the others. My husband and I have been married almost 20 years and I have always taken cares of others first, but now I am trying to get myself back in order.

My goals for my weight loss journey over these next few weeks is:
To lose 30 pounds
Eat healthier options
Get my children to follow in my footsteps.
Add more exercise to my routine.

I believe that in the long run, I will feel less tired and be able to keep up with my very busy 2 year old.
This week I have already lost about 2 pounds and haven't been as strict as I should be. My plan is to be more strict and plan everything out to make it easier.
