So this morning I browsed a few blogs in the dieting/weight loss category and got the much needed inspiration I’ve been looking for. I am so happy right now. I feel so good about it. Yeah I ate way too many Conversation Hearts this morning and way too many Sour Cream & Onion Rice Crackers (which are actually really low in fat and calories, but I ate TOO MANY). But I feel a lot better. For lunch I am going to run home and eat some leftovers from the fridge and just relax. I’m really excited to get back into this whole dieting thing. I really don’t even want to consider it a diet.. It needs to be much more of a lifestyle change than anything. The word diet in this day and age seems so temporary. Like a quick fix. I want to be healthy! I don’t just want to lose weight, I want to be a healthy person.

One of my biggest motivations is that I really would like to extend our family in the next few years and I really want to be as healthy as I can before I do that. So here it goes.. I’ll try to post regularly about how I’m feeling and how it’s going.
