Day Two - My Official Starting Point

Hi Everyone:) So, I took my weight this morning, not a pretty thing but I've listed it as Weigh I #1 on the side. I guess it could be worse. This time I feel like I can do this...beat this food demon I've dealt with for so many years (and hid so no one would know). I will try to update my blog daily, however weekend will be tough because of my babies. I literally have no time to be on the computer on Saturdays and Sundays so I will do my best.

I'm not really sure what to talk about in a blog because this is the first one I've ever had. I guess, a little more about myself, I'm married to an awesome guy named Doug. He is really very supportive of everything I do in life amidst having his own health and family issues to deal with. He's is great with our kids. About the kids....I have one 13 year old from a previous relationship and 2 children with my husband (they are 2 and 7 months). My husband has 4 children from a previous marriage, 1 girl, age 16; and 3 boys, ages (and I'm guessing on this one) 22, 20 and 18. We don't see his children much, just his daughter every other weekend. I feel for my husband because she is pulling away, as she should at this age. She just got a boyfriend...currently the love of her life....and spends a lot of time with him. I see the jealousy in my husband. I'm sure it will come my way when my son starts dating. He is very secretive right now with his personal life. He spends a lot of time in his room, door shut, either on his laptop or cell phone conversing with God knows who. He is a great kid though, all things put aside. There are so many worse things he could be doing in his life. He does have his times, but for the most part he's great. My two babies are wonderful as well. My 2 year old is definately testing the waters but I'm sure he'll outgrow his tantrums (at least I hope he does). My 7 month old is just the happiest baby, all the time. I will try to post pictures of them shortly. I'm still finding out all the ins and outs of how to create my blog site.

So, in terms of weight loss, I'm really shooting for 2 pounds a week and faithfully exercising at least 3 or 4 times a week. The exercise in itself will be a chore because, after working full time, coming home and taking care of everyone, that doesn't leave an aweful lot of time for me. If I want to exercise it has to be around 9:10 or 10 at night. I'm already up at least 2-3 times at night with my littlest one so getting up any earlier than I have to (6 am) is out of the question (unless I want to be a zombie at work). I would love to go back to Weight Watchers as well. I have been going to Wednesday afternoon meetings because they are a few blocks away from me at work. I haven't been able to go the past 3 weeks though because I had a death in my family one week and the other 2 weeks one or all of the kids were sick. So next week I will try to hit a meeting. I will weigh in every Friday to let you guys know my progress.

Thanks so much for following along. And in advance, I apologize if anything I say may offend anyone...my blog is not ment to offend anyone at all. Sometimes my mouth just gets carried away. I will choose what I write wisely (at least I'll try). Everyone have a great day and hopefully I'll follow up tomorrow:)
