Day 2

First of all today I want to tell a little bit about my family. So, as I continue writing, you will have an idea of who they are. This is not just about me. This blog is about what I am thinking about and dealing with on a daily basis. My family contains myself my hunny, my two teenage boys and I have a Daughter who is the mother of my two granddaughters but they do not live with us.

Okay, so yesterday I decided to take some action to ensure we make some changes in our lives. One of the first decisions is to start eating better. I want to start taking better care of myself and help my family take better care of themselves as well. Positive changes are usually harder to make and continue on with. Opposed to starting negative things, those always seem to start so easily and they are so much easier to continue on with.

As of Sunday which is our next scheduled grocery shopping day we will purchase better foods. I want for my family to become healthier. Of course I will still buy some fatty junk food for the boys. Teenage boys tend to need some fatty foods. Well, at least my boys do. My boys are not unhealthy in the least. They are both well all three of my children are lean and pretty fit. I just want them to eat a little healthier.

My hunny and I are the ones who have gained a few extra pounds here in the last year or so. We are not excessively overweight or obese in the slightest. We just do not look or feel like we want to. Soon enough that will change because we both realized it was time. Now we are both putting forth the effort to make those positive changes.

Besides planning on buying better healthier foods we took a huge step yesterday. We went to a local gym and signed up our family for our first year of gym membership. We have also made an appointment to meet with personal trainers to help get us started with doing all we can to make those changes we want to make. Every little bit counts and as long as it is a positive change it should help us accomplish our long term goals.

We will be setting some short term goals. We are taking one step at a time. I am sure some steps will be difficult but we are determined. I know once we get started it will become easier and easier. We will see what challenges come our way.

Tomorrow is another day, I will let you know what it brings……..
