I have been rather absent from this site as I have been through taking care of my body during my pregnancy. I am trying to do a complete mental switch from who I was to a new me and I am trying to do it NOW! It's not an easy task and falling off the wagon has happened so many times. I guess the good thing here is that I keep getting back up on the wagon and trying again.
One of the biggest road blocks for me in life is the way I was raised. I lived with my dad and step-mom on and off and they often didn't eat healthy. They are both quite overweight with many health problems. The idea of microwavable food and not exercising became normal. Trying to change that after so long of it being my life is not an easy task.
I do like the taste of healthy food, and don't always mind cooking (though in the heat of summer being as far away from my warm kitchen as possible tends to be preferable), it's just the other foods are more convenient. I haven't gotten myself into the healthy habits of making the less convenient food work into my daily schedule.
I am a touch bit of a lazy person.
So once again I am trying to be healthy, for myself, for my son, and for my unborn baby. I don't want my son to grow up like I did, not thinking about what he eats and often tending to prefer reaching for quick and easy foods. Actually, as often as possible we don't have those things in the house. I have to break my bad habits so I can set a better example than what was set for me.

For a long time now I have been wanting to make changes in my life. I think about all of the things that I am unhappy with and changes I would like to see happen and then I don't actually do anything. I am rather lazy that way.
I am tired of being lazy.
There are so many things I want to do with life and the longer I push of doing what needs to be done now the longer it will take for me to achieve the things I actually want to do. I can't let my laziness sit in the way of me actually getting out there and living life.
I have a two and a half year old son, and another baby due in five months! If I can't get myself up and living then what sort of an example am I setting for them? Not a very good one.
I want to live! For me, for my husband, for my children, for me!
