About Me

I'm a happily married mother of 2 (6 and 3). I live in a small town community on a farm where my husband grows produce and beef cattle. We have chickens, cows, donkeys, a horse, a rabbit, dogs, cats, a cockatiel, and some fish. As you can imagine, my job is to take care of all of the children and animals (most of the time.) I have a little farm market in the summer months, but I like meat and carbs too much for that to make a huge difference in my weight loss program. I don't like exercising because it seems like a waste of time, but I can't motivate myself to get out and do much work either. My husband thinks I should cut the firewood rather than join a Zumba class. I get his point, but I think I would rather dance.

My Goals

I would really like to weigh 150 lbs again. I think I would feel better about myself and maybe have more energy to play with my children. Also if I get healthier I should feel better which will hopefully improve my relationships with the other people in my house.
