I'm a wife and homeschooling mom of two. I work from home; great commute! I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm back in full swing and happier than ever!
I was always just a tad bit big. My mom says the doc said I was always an inch too short for my weight. In high school, I started eating poorly, just didn't make time for much more than a diet coke and a SCORE bar. I hovered around 130-140. I'm a wife and homeschooling mom of two.

I got pregnant then actually got too thin after my daughter was born. Everyone thought I looked sickly. At the time, I was just happy to be skinny, but now I look back and see how bad it was. After my son was born, I went back to being skinny and thought I was hot stuff.
Then when my son was 5 months old, I gained SEVENTY pounds in just two months! Six months later, I found out about a thyroid disorder. But I was having other physical problems and couldn't worry about anything weight related at the time.
But here it is twelve years later and it's time to get my life back. I had a minor stroke May 29, 2006 and had to have some killer physical therapy. I've mostly recovered and I'm ready to "bring it!" I do have to work around some lingering stroke symptoms and autoimmune issues, but I CAN DO THIS!
I KNOW I'm going to succeed! How can I not with such a great program.
2008 is MY YEAR. Every 30 days a little more sculpted and a little thinner. I have decided and committed. Now it's MY time to SUCCEED!

I'm restarting Power90. I did well before, and I can do so again! I LOVE BEACH BODY products! I KNOW pushing play WORKS!!! I'm doing the Power 90 program and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! The kids (ages 12 and 15) will be my partners again.
I'm also cleaning up my diet. Before, I'd try to eat decently when I cooked but I had the wrong attitude about food. I hated it. I also had a hard time eating enough and the idea of eating 5 times a day seemed impossible. But now?
I read on one of the boards that Food is Fuel. When I started thinking of it that way, it made it much easier to do what I needed to do. And the kids and I are cooking new meals and such to boot! It's FUN and not so tough anymore. I am using protein "shakes" and meal replacement bars for part of it, but everything else is the top two tiers of Michi's Ladder!
A major part of my success in the past was the boards so I definitely won't neglect that this time around. It is so nice to have a place to talk to others going through what you're going through, to ask questions, to get kudos. Oh, and though I HATED the idea of posting my day 1 pics, I knew it would help me succeed and it did so I'll definitely do THAT again! I knew I had to change those pictures! Just as many before me have done, I was going to make a change month by month. And I tell you, I have read the posts following my 30 day pictures a few times in the last 24hours! LOL
My future plans? Power 90X one day :)
