About Me

This blog is about my life.  I plan for it to include a little of everything, from my journey to lose weight (A LOT of weight), my adventures as a wife and mommy to misadventures in crafting and cooking, and finding a "home".

Weight Loss & Pregnancy

My husband and I have an amazing little girl and have been blessed every day to be her parents.  We both feel like our family is not complete yet.  We do want to have another baby.  Before I want to go that route, I HAVE to get some weight off.  I started my last pregnancy as a high risk patient and ended up having a rough pregnancy.  This led to my daughter being being born via emergency c-section two months early (I will write about that story another day).  However, I would like to eliminate some of the risks of pregnancy by taking off some weight first.   

I could easily list 500 reasons I want to lose weight and be healthier.  Having a safer pregnancy is definitely towards the top though.  I would love to be able to keep up with my daughter and husband.  I dream about being able to go on a trip (or even the zoo) and be able to walk forever seeing everything there is to see.  Right now, my knees and feet can only take so much before they ache too bad and I have to call it quits!

Since I have had little to no success at weight loss in the past, I can be really hard on myself.  I truly can be my own worst enemy.  This time, I am going to try something I have never done before.  I choose to forgive myself for the times I have failed and love myself through this process.  

More info to come....

Much Love,
