Growing up on a family farm built my character and values. However, it did not set me up for very healthy eating! My mom is and was wonderful; she was a stay at home mom for most of my growing up. From scratch, she made three meals a day. She is famous for her homemade bread and caramel rolls. We ate dessert most days...especially if there were hired men at the dinner table. Serving sizes were not exactly observed! Unfortunatley, coupled with my history of overeating is the fact that I was never in sports in my school years. That is one of my biggest regrets for more than just fitness reasons. Not until I was in college did I really become conscious of my eating habits and lack of exercise. I started both some healthy and unhealthy habits to lose weight. When I was married at age 22 I felt beautiful in my wedding dress--but not quite satisfied with my figure weighing about 162 pounds. Five years later, I am now 177 pounds. I have lost a few pounds since giving birth to my daughter who is now two and a half years old. I feel (and look) like I have lost weight, but the number on the scale won't budge down. I am a teacher, so with my summer time off I would like to get in to a great fitness routine before fall. When school starts again, my days will be long with an hour commute which will make it hard to fit in workouts. However, if I can get on the right track and get support from friends, I think I can get on the right track to lose weight throughout the year.
