Why lose?

Why do I NEED to lose this weight?

  • To be healthy (lower blood pressure and reduce risk of cancer)
  • To keep up with my kids
  • To love myself and what I see in the mirror everyday
  • To feel & look sexy for my husband
  • To not feel tired & achy/sore
  • To not be ashamed about my weight when I see people I haven't seen in long time (or even to post pictures of myself on Facebook)

But my #1 reason and motivation for losing weight is me not wanting my kids to be ashamed of me.  I want them to be proud to introduce me as their mom.  


I NEED to figure out when in the world I can get some exercise in.  Ideally I would join a gym with an indoor pool and start swimming.  I love to swim and that would be enjoyable and not feel so much like exercise.  BUT, our budget does not allow for that luxury so I need to hit the pavement or dust off the Wii workout games and exercise videos.  It's just so hard to find the motivation and energy to do that at 8:30 at night.  What are you favorite home workouts?  


Are you a mom that works full time?  How do you get it all done?  Cooking, cleaning, play time, exercise, intimacy?  I can't figure out how to get it all in...so maybe someone can tell me how THEY do it.  Remember, I. AM. POOR - so no cleaning lady, personal trainer, etc.  Help a busy momma out and give me some ideas :)
