How many of you have those people (and maybe we can be those people too at times) that complain, complain, complain about their weight.....BUT steadily eat things that are not helping there situation!!! Well those excuses are only handicapping the person (or you). If this is you, take a stand today and make the choice to be healthy and choose LIFE!
Diabetes and heart disease can be big issues of some who are overweight. Maybe you are not to that level yet so start now and get on the right track before any of those diseases become an issue for you and if you do have diabetes or heart disease it wouldn't hurt to fix things with your eating habits in order to get the best life possible.....a healthier life!!!

| A picture of me at the beginning of the year when I started this journey and as of today. I am still a work in progress though. |
Diabetes and heart issues are in my family. This is one huge factor that has also led me on this great journey towards getting healthier.
So next time when you pull into McDonald's, pick up that bag of chips, go for that extra slice of cake, piece of fried chicken or some other type of food that is not good for you when you eat it in excess think of what you could look like or more important FEEL LIKE if you started getting a plan in action to become healthier. You can do it. If I can do it, I know you can! Work hard and have those things in moderation and every once in awhile but don't make it a regular thing. You will need to change your food as well as exercise. It is a lifestyle change not some fad diet or get skinny quick thing. A lifestyle change means you can keep the results by living better through whole foods and regular exercise. Start by reading the first few blogs I wrote in January and see what I did and things that I faced. It can be done folks!!!!!!
STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!! I had to tell myself this too....it can be done. With kids, with busy schedules, with limited resources...It can be done. All you need is dedication and motivation to really make a change!!!! If you need a little push, take a look at these links and find out what diseases and health risks are associated with being over weight and unhealthy diets.

Now hope I didn't offend anyone. This is only to maybe give you a push towards what you already want...a healthier life and to tone or lose weight! It can be hard at times but just get back on track if you fall off. It has happened to me a few times during this process but I come back harder and more motivated! Trust in yourself and just do it! :)
Here are a few things I also want to share....
