Welcome to my shrinking blog

Hi! I am creating this blog to document the new chapter in my life. It's the chapter that I have put off writing or starting for ten years. I am officially starting the P90X program tomorrow morning and am determined to finally do this for myself. There's no turning back, I've got to do this to better my life not only for myself but for my children. My husband is soon to deploy again so I am dying to get started and continue this program while he is deployed. I have lived long enough hiding in my house, hiding in baggy clothes, and hearing comments on how well I "used" to look. I'm hoping friends and family can help hold myself accountable through my daily blogs and keep me motivated to stay on the right track. I'm tired of living as the "before" picture, and want to finally be able to call myself an "after". If you are struggling through the same situation, please join this blog, and if you have any helpful tips or suggestions, you also are welcome to join.
Thanks guys, and wish me luck!

  1. It's funny that you have decided to do this. I am planning on doing something similar during our deployment. I know exactly what you mean about hiding, I feel the same way. I'm hoping to have dramatic improvements by the time she get back for Iraq. I think if you set your mind to it then you can do anything. Determination is the key to success, heck I think your boy Dave Ramsey even says that. Use that in this situation as well. Packing up things in the house I came across a lot of old pictures of myself and it just disgust me to think of how I am now compared to what I "used" to be. I don't think you will have any problem with this program. You will have to keep everyone posted on the progress and maybe it will be something I can look into as well. Best of luck! You can do it.
