Wow! This was an Epic fail!

I don't even remember why I started a blog back in 2011. Probably for the same reason I'm back. A place to log my journey to live healthier. But man a lot has changed since that last post.

1. Job change Home Daycare ➡adjunct college instructor.
2. The Xhusband (father of my big kids) passed away from complications from a lifetime of alcohol abuse.
3. Job change Adjunct instructor ➡head of the general education department at the college (including two weeks as acting dean -long story)
4. Continued yo-yo dieting
5. Kids ages to date: Josh 14, Katie 11, Tori 2.5
6. Job change GE Dept head➡corporate training (Epic to be specific)
7. Current selling our house to move into our forever house.
8. Started my Ph.d program - not sure what future it holds.

And STILL not happy with my weight!

Soi'm back here. To blog about. To have some accountability. I will not be 40 and fat (and it's only 2 years away).

The steps I will take to get there:

1. Joined a gym (brand new and doesn't open until mid-January) along with my husband and son.
2. Will drink the appropriate amount of water daily.
3. Keep my food diary on myfitnesspal.com (tchrnmommy is my screen name)
4. Menu plan
5. Portion control
6. Record weight week.y (I'm a chronic daily weigher)

The stats:

5' 2" (apparently I grew an inch after 3 pregnancies - so my doc has said)
145 lbs

Now I know I am far from morbidly obese. But I am definitely not happy in my skin. I can hide the pudge with good clothing styles, but I can see it. I see it in my face, my arms, my abdomen, my thighs....

The goal:

128 lbs (but also trying to be realistic so I'd be happy at low 130's)
I'd like to reach this goal by swimsuit season.

I guess that's it. I will post some pictures.

That's all for now. But if you're dying to know, 2012 must have been the year of video because I have a lot on my you tube channel! Lol. Link around here somewhere.
