About

This is a blog about my journey to regain my health, fitness and focus.

About Me:

I’m a single mom of two awesome kiddos. Raising them on my own can be trying at times, but it is also the most rewarding thing I’ve accomplished in my life. I am excited to be embarking on a path of healthier living and reaching some personal goals. It’s time for me!

Why I want to get in shape:

I want to make sure I live a long, healthy life so that I’m still around when my kids grow up. I also want to be a willing participant in life, rather than sitting on the sidelines as I have the last few years. I’m ready to get out there and do the things that bring me joy!

My Inspirations:

• My daughter – she’s my best friend!
• My son – he’s a cutie and keeps me on my toes!
• Swimming and SCUBA diving – time to get back in the water on the regular!

My Surgery:

After much research (8 years on and off), I spoke with my doctor about weight loss surgery. My MD recommended me for the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (read about it here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007435.htm) and I’m scheduled for December 4, 2013.
