Giving this a try...

I have never blogged!  I've written on my Facebook wall, had a Live Journal for a bit, but didn't really keep up with it.

BUT...

I would LOVE to lose weight!  I find I do better when I tell others of what I have been doing.  Makes me want to stick with it.  I figure sharing with the good old world wide web would help me get it more out there.

Its going to be a slow start, we're in between houses (gotta love moves) so we're living with family and I'm not motivated and have a funny feeling I won't be for a bit.

However, starting on Monday or Tuesday we will be camping!  For a month or longer!  I'm excited to hopefully take this opportunity to work in a LOT more exercise!  I'm going to get out there with my kids and swim and hike and bike, and maybe take a morning run down the trail next to the camp ground.

We're also going to be nearly technology free the whole time.  TV will be off limits unless it is rainy...and I mean pouring rain...but board games come first!  I will still get on the internet about 3-4 times a week though.  Bills still have to be paid and family needs to be informed of what we are up to and we're buying a house, so checking email is a must!  But I will have a time limit and internet time will probably be after the kiddos go to bed.

Are you trying to lose weight?  Have you failed at losing weight before?  I have!  8 years ago I got pregnant with my daughter and have yet to lose any of the weight I gained with her, and have also had my son in between then and now and not lost weight from him either. :(

Wish me luck and away we go....
