Its fair to say that for the past 9 months, we have let ourselves go-completely. Unfortunately I didn't know or understand the damage that gaining weight alone could bring. I doubt I would have understood the importance of it back then, as I do now. So now for me 50+ pounds heavier and Dennis just as much maybe more, I feel like we're suffering in silence. Much damage came from not exercising and eating right. The majority of health problems can be controlled with proper health control not to mention a lot of emotional problems. I later found out emotional issues can come into control just with proper eating habits and exercising. The drastic move to North Carolina only made it worse on us. I think Dennis would agree when I say we lost control of ourselves and lost sight of whats important.
BUT NOT ANY LONGER! We are on a mission! A mission where much will be lost! I am talking baggage! Baggage of every kind; emotional, mental and most of all physical! Its important to me to be healthy so I can teach healthy habits to my family and be healthy ourselves!
Our health journey just begun. So far we have been working 48 hours on our diet. For 14 days (already have completed 2) we will only eat 20 carbs a day followed with exercise. Then we will slowly add more and more to our diet and exercise. By my birthday I am hoping to have lost at least 15 pounds. (approx. 24 days)
It will be hard hard work, lots will be cut from our diet and we will want to give in but with all your help and support we can do this! Please leave your encouraging comments and please pray for us to keep our strength. We are beginning a life change and I know this will be for good. Satan will want us to quit, and when tough comes I will shout " I am in control now, sucker!"

Wow. Good luck with that! I can't seem to find the strength to exercise, even though I need to lose the 20 lbs I've gain from my pregnancies. I hope you are successful!
