Advent season

We have been so so so busy.  We decided to simplify our lives and get rid of some everyday conveniences.  We ditched our cell phones and our internet access.  Let me tell you it is nice.  I'm still undecided on if I want to continue blogging or not,  I would like to but I find it difficult to do so not having access to the internet at home makes it rather difficult.  So I hope this finds everyone enjoying their preparations for this Chrsitmas season and may you find peace this holiday season. 

A bit of my history

So originally I was going to fill this post with pictures of examples of myself through the years, but my computer is still on the fritz. So, I'm two finger typing on the iPad and it stinks.

Here it goes

Way back when, I was a very active person. I wa a ballerina starting in 1st grade through middle school then again in my adult years. I also did jazz and tap. I started cheerleading in 3rd grade and did that through college. I tried volleyball and track, but I didn't enjoy those. Then after my first few years of college I became pretty inactive.

When I was in middle school, I had major issues with eating. I was anorexic, there I said it, I was stick thin. I looked sick. On a positive note I'm here and I overcame those years. Because of that illness I have never been ok with my body though. I have always seen myself as fat. I really need to learn to love the skin I'm in and to treat my body with respect by taking care of it.

What kind of weight would I like to get back. Probably pre wedding weight would do. I don't remember what it was but I looked healthy. So I finally stepped on the scale a few weeks ago for the first time this summer and * gasp* I gained over 10 pounds just this summer. Eeek! That is not good. So on Sunday night I hit the scale again and that is going to be me weigh in day btw, but I was more than a few weeks ago *gulp*

So a healthy weight range for someone my age and height is 102-128 pounds. That means I need to lose about 40 pounds to get into the upper end of that range. I think 102 would be a little too small for me btw.

Another issue I have is bad genes. I learned at a young age that I have extremely high cholesterol. So I have to work on controlling that as well. I have 2 beautiful children and 1 awesome hubby and I need to be around as long as I can for them. So it's time to get healthy.

Still MIA

So I'm still MIA. I am going to be disconnecting our Internet and simplifying. So in order for me to continue blogging I will have to write my bogs once a week or write them once a week and set them up to post on certain days. what are your thoughts? Is there anyone even interested in what I have to say? I still want to share my journey to healthy life and my journey to simplify but is it it worth it if no one is reading? Any thoughts?

A New Direction

So, I've come to the conclusion that what I've been doing with this blog is just not working for me.  I feel like I'm not getting anything out of it.  So, I'm going to take it in a different direction. 

You see I have a rather low self esteem.  I don't like the way I'm treating my body, not physically, not emotionally.  This body of mine has to last me a lifetime.  So, I've been working on this whole improving my health thing.  However, I keep slacking, I think it's because I have no one and nothing to report to.  


So here's what I will do, I will take you on this journey with me.  I'm not necessarily doing this for others.  I'm doing this for myself.  Maybe, blogging about it will help me to see my progress.  This doesn't mean that I'm going to stop updating with homeschooling or with some of the other things I have posted on in the past.  There will just be less of that and more of this.  


I've also noticed that there isn't a huge community of health bloggers out there.  I find a lot on food and homeschooling, but not much on health.  Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.  


Anyway I will start with a post this week about my lifestyle so far.
