Time to Get SERIOUS!

I am at an emotional crossroads right now.  My warp vision of my physical well being has 'slapped me in the face'.  What exactly do I mean?

I know I have talked about all the knowledge behind losing weight.  Now I need to APPLY it.  I know what I need to do and have just as many excuses too. But NO more.

Humiliation and embarrassment of myself and to my children was made loud and clear on Sat Jan 19, 2013 while we were out with the kids at Golfland.  We played miniature gold which was fun, then we were off to the go-karts.  We waited a good 30 mins to get on.  I did attempt to get seatbelt on, but came up 2-3 inches short from buckling.  :( 

Thankfully my daughter is still young enough and not embarrassed by me yet.  I hope to never embarrass her.  Most of all I felt embarrassed and humiliated to walk off the track.  God bless my daughter, she was fine with it all.  She got to ride with her daddy.

Then I had to explain to my son that I could not ride.  I promised both of them that this summer when we go back to Wisconsin I would ride the go-karts with them and go to water park with them.  I felt I disappointed them by not being able to partake in their fun on go-karts.  

I know I have it in me to do what I need to do.  I am starting by controlling what I eat.  I am starting back at gym.  Starting back Wed, Fri, Sat and if time allows on Sun.  The weather is nice now, going to try spending time outside with kids at park.  Even if all I do is walk, but I will no longer sit and just watch.  I need to be moving.

Some of my goals:
*ride go-karts with kids this summer
*have fun at water park with kids
*par take in 5K's


I think this is a good start.  I will continue to add to my goals and update when I accomplish them as well.

So God be with me on this journey and give me the strength I need to a happy healthy me.
