New Beginning

Hi all,
This is my first blog post, ever..... So I'm really sorry if this is weird, my whole goal is to be honest to myself and anyone who is reading.
To give an idea what this blog is about, here we go. I am so tired of having to search for what is healthy, the best exercises, the best fast weight loss diet, basically I'm done!! My story is not so different from others that are overweight. Battled with it since I was a very little kid, had a health disease that made me gain weight, and it never went away. I have done the unhealthy ways to loose weight: annorexic, atkins diet (personally worse than being annorexic), the grapfruit diet (my personal favorite, didn't have to buy perfume for a month), Slim Fast ( couldn't stand the grainy taste), and so many others.
On the other hand I have gone the healthy route: exercise of an hour a day, 3 balanced meals, 6 smaller balanced meals, no soda, no sugar or salt, Weight Watchers, etc.
My problem is I make to many excuses and that is the reason I fail: to much food, to little food, I don't have time, food is expensive.
The problem with all of these excuses, is just that excuses. I am sick of being fat, unhealthy, tired and above all trying to shop!! This is why I have done this, I will push myself for 6 solid months, NO EXCUSES!!
To give a backlight into my life, I am a full time student, work full time, volunteer with the American Cancer Society full time, a wife and a mom to 4 furry creatures (my cats Smokey, Little Bear, Mary, and Lulu.) My life is busy, there is no way around that, but there is no more excuse for being lazy.
I was supposed to start my experiement this past Monday, but my klutzy self got hurt while I was moving with my husband to our new apartment. So now that I am healing, I will start officially Monday, March 15, 2010.
I will be posting receipies, exercise tips, and mental health tips. I am by no means a doctor, physical therapist, or a therapist. These are just items that have helped me, and might help you. I am just a average woman making a change in my life and those who know me.
So until Monday, see you all later!!
