A little about me. I am a 41 year old overweight mother of three. I am not morbidly obese but I am uncomfortable and I intend to shed weight until I get to that 'comfortable' state again. I won't say exactly how much I want to lose because, as my trainer told me today, what your goal weight and your comfortable weight are maybe two different things so I am setting only short term, attainable goals to get started.
My starting weight is 170lbs, I am 5'3". My BMI today is 30.1
For my height my ideal BMI is between 18-24
My IDEAL weight is 135, but again, if I'm lifting weights as much as I intend that weight will probably be closer to 140ish.

Here are some of my mini goals for Week 1:
Drink 6-8 glasses of water
Incorporate more fruits and veggies
Move at least 30 mins EVERY day
That will do it for this week.
Besides this blog, I'm also using www.sparkpeople.com to track my progress. If you'd like to join me, you can 'friend' me there. My i.d. is 'onebusymommyof3'
On your mark, get set....GO!
