Let the Games Begin

Becky James here. That sweet baby girl in the picture is one of the reasons I am doing this. Not only do I need to shed the baby weight, I also want to teach my two girls how to eat right and take care of themselves. What better way right?! (And since she is 7 months-old now, I can't use the excuse that I just had a baby.)

I think the hardest part for me will be fitting in the exercise and making sure that I don't run to sugar for that afternoon pick-me-up, i.e., ice cream, chocolate, or anything else I can find. I know that I need to do this and I don't look at it as depriving myself, but as taking the time to take care of myself.

Back in the day when I actually did exercise, I loved to take step, kickboxing, or just about any other aerobics class. I also loved to run on my treadmill, but I fear doing that while the girls are awake, and it is almost too loud to do while they are sleeping.

Other hobbies and interest...I enjoy crafting, cooking, baking, reading, and having a clean house. Most of these don't get done on a daily basis, but a girl can dream. I love pop culture trivia, but find that lack of sleep is slowly turning my mind to mush. Best of all, I love to play with my girls and I am so grateful that I can see the world through their eyes.

We have a family blog, but it is private, so if you want an invite just let me know.

I am excited to get to know everyone and learn some fun healthy tricks and tips.
