And so it begins

We welcomed our new son into the world on Tuesday December 29, 2009. We couldn't be any more in love and now I am ready to begin my transformation. It will be a slow start since I can't exercise yet, but I plan to start by keeping my diet in check. Hopefully soon I will have something to report. Keep checking back to see what happens as time goes on.

Goals

These are my goals as of today. I am positive they will change as time goes on, but for now these are the main focus of my transformation.

• Lose 100 pounds (long term goal)
• Tone abs
• Tone legs and butt
• Tone arms
• BEAT DIABETES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now like I said these goals will change and they will become more advanced as time goes on, but everyone has to start somewhere. This is my starting point.

Introduction

I am a 26 year old mom. Like a lot of Americans, I am overweight. With a family history of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease I need to do something. With kids and a husband who need me I have to be healthy.

This blog will include meal plans, exercise routines, reviews on products, and photos to show my progress.

My transformation will start sometime after the New Year, as I am currently pregnant. As soon as I am able to get back to the gym following labor and delivery I will get this blog really up and running.

Feel free to visit the links at the bottom of my blog to find valuable information about weight loss and nutrition. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line and I will do my best to answer.
