Mike & Molly

So Brady and I watch the show Mike & Molly.  Ever heard of it?  It's pretty funny.  Crude at times, but what isn't these days.  Anyways we are watching it the other night and Brady says to me, "we had better be careful because we are on our way to looking like those two!"  If you haven't ever seen the previews or the show it's about an overweight couple.  They are pretty big too, to say the least.  Now I have always struggled with my weight.  What can I say, I like to eat.  In the 9th grade when I made the softball team and they told me to go get a physical, the doctor told me I was overweight then.  I couldn't believe it!  I didn't feel fat at all.  So I know this is my struggle that I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life.  I knew that then and I still know that now.  Our big problem at home is now that we have a kid and when it was winter it was just easier to stay at home.  So you find yourself eating earlier for the child and putting the child to bed early.  Well then you need a snack later.....right?  Wrong!  Well we ate our snacks anyways.

Well I don't want to be that Mom who is too hefty to play with her own kids.  I don't want to get type 2 diabetes from my own laziness and stupidity.  So here is to making a new life for my family.  I'm going to try to eat healthier and teach my own children to eat healthier.  No more giving myself a treat while Baine eats a apple!  :)  Embarrassing I know but it happens. Haha!  I would like to be a runner but that is going to have to take a lot of effort from me so I'm going to start with walking and weights.  I need to build some muscle. Especially since my shape-ups were kicking my a## yesterday!  Again, embarrassing I know.  I am embarrassed that I let myself get to this point but with some motivation and hopefully some dedication this will be the worst of it!  No more Mike & Molly at our house.  I don't need Brady to have a meltdown because he is so afraid of being overweight!  Fear can be a good thing.
