A new journey. A new blog.

I decided to start a new blog for a few reasons. I wanted to be held accountable for my weight loss or should I say my lifestyle change. I'm not dieting, I'm changing my diet, the way I look at food, and I am going to do my best to workout more. I want to be an example for other women who might struggle to eat the right things, struggle with time to put yourself first and struggle to juggle all of the demands in between.

I am a new mommy to the most adorable twin boys. I went from working woman to stay at home mommy (quite the change). I have lost all of my pregnancy weight plus ten pounds, and it is still coming off. So why the need to blog about weight loss? I need to make a change. I've been talking about it way too long and now it is time to do it. I struggle to make healthy snack choices throughout the day, struggle to make healthy lunches and dinners. It is so easy to just put some chips on a plate with cheese and voila! there is my lunch! This is a problem. Am I overweight currently? No I am not. Have I ever been? No, not really. However, I have looked in the mirror for too long and wished I could change this or that (typical for a woman, I know) but now I am ready. I want to give a good example to my boys. I want to learn how to eat clean for them, for me and for my husband.

I hope my blog can be the source of some inspiration as I know I have drawn my inspiration and motivation from other bloggers.

That's it for now!
