You ready?

I am starting on another big journey. I am overweight. There is no reason to sit here and be embarrassed to say it, it's true. After I had Aiden I had my "ah-ha moment" where I knew that it was time for me to do something about this extra weight. I started Zumba and FELL IN LOVE. I was starting to see it changing my body, self-esteem, my marriage....but then, like I mentioned in the post before this one, Aiden got sick. Our life changed dramatically and one of the things that I had to let go of was Zumba. I went through such a time of depression. I don't even think most of my family knew how bad I was getting. I was home with this precious child, but I was mourning. I was mourning the loss of my life, friends that I thought I had, money, freedom... Please don't get me wrong here, I LOVE staying home with my son and no one on this earth can take care of him like I can. It was a no brainer for me to resign from my job. It just came at a bad time. Suddenly we went from being very comfortable to...barely making it. I cried for hours most days. I wondered how I could make this work for my family. I found Thirty-One and suddenly I didn't feel quite so bad. I started making money for my family, meeting new people, being Celebrated*Encouraged* and Rewarded by my fellow Thirty-One ladies! It put a smile back on my face!

I was still missing something in my life...well...a lot of somethings but one in particular. I NEEDED to go back to Zumba. I am happy to post today that I will be starting back on May 1st! I can't wait to get that much needed "mommy time" back in my life! Suddenly, I am celebrating life again. Things are starting to look up and God has provided. This last year is in the past. It is something that I have learned from and will not be taken for granted.

I will be posting every day about the journey of being a first time parent and the personal journey that I am getting ready for. I hope that you will join me on this journey of change. Changing my body, changing my attitude, changing my business, changing our income, changing my marriage, changing.....everything. I can't wait!!!
