My journey!

I'm 34 years old, have an amazing 8 year old son and an amazing 7 month old daughter. I've always been a large woman, but it wasn't until just recently that I've realized just how much I've let myself go. I weigh approximately 300lbs! How did I let myself get so out of control?! I decided to start walking every day and started on Sunday. Went for a 2 mile walk, which isn't much, but it's a start. Walked 2 miles yesterday morning, and then another 2 1/2 miles yesterday afternoon when my son got off the bus. We had to run across the highway and my son shouted, "Wow Mommy! I never knew you could run!", and it's true. I don't run unless motivated to do so. How awful is that? My goal is to lose 50lbs by the end of summer and *hopefully* run along side my son when his school has their annual 5k in October. I've got a long road ahead of me, but I know I can do it. I've got 2 beautiful children as my motivation. 😊
