Hot Momma Wanna Be: December 2010

So I have been thinking about how unfit I am and that being an older mom (meaning that I was older when I started to have my kids) I know that I need to make a change in my life if I want to be around to see my Grandchildren. Some of my friends from a board I am on that I have gotten to know over the past 3 years have been talking about running lately. They have inspired me to try to do more to get fit. One of the mom's mentioned a program called Couch to 5K and I thought that sounded like a good program.

So starting now, this blog is going to be about my journey to go from obese to fit. I don't know how long it is going to take, I am not looking for a quick fix, I want to do this for the long run and keep up with it. I am sure there are going to be times when I slip up, but I am creating this blog to keep me accountable. And for all of my followers to keep me accountable too. So I definitely encourage positive feedback!

Doing better

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I enjoyed spending time with my family. I actually didn't do too bad with food that day, I was so busy helping Samantha with her food that I didn't really eat too much myself. I still enjoyed a piece pumpkin pie though. I've gotten myself back on track now. A friend of mine told me about Weight Watchers new points program, now they count Fat, Carbs, Fiber, and Protein instead of Fat, Calories, and Fiber. They also changed it so that fruit is a free food, I have decided to check out the program and have signed up for a 7 day free trial. I think I am going to really like that program, I needed something better than the app I was using to keep track of food. I weighed myself yesterday and I finally saw a loss! I am down 6 lbs, woo hoo! I am off to Costco now to get some more healthy food.
