In preparation of the "Get Fit Friday" challenge.....

...I'm posting some pictures. I practiced this morning with the pets, now I'll suck it up and post mine.

This is me with my youngest son Adam on my lap.....we are 1.

Well.....he is one, there's a three in front of my one. This was 1988. Oh, and the other little kid with his back to the camera is Nathan, my oldest. He was 3 at the time.

Here I am two years ago (and this is where the "sucking it up" part comes....oh, I've got to hide my eyes, I can't look).....UGH! There I am, the female on the left.

I was 160lbs when I married my husband in 2001 (even that was heavy, but I'd settle for it now!). Lots of potatoes & weinies, carnitas, chorizo & egg burritos later and this is what I've done to myself.

I'm very serious about the challenge; I'm tired of looking like this, tired of being tired. Years ago (while dieting, I'm sure) I told someone, "I can't do anything about getting older, but I can do something about my weight". I think I should type that up and paste it on my computer at work and on the refrigerator at home. It is my truth.

I don't need to be anything but healthy; healthy mind, body and soul.

And so it begins............again.
