So I didn't plan to start this journey just yet but since it's been a topic of conversation in the mother group I'm a part of I decided to get a head start. By no means am I in full swing. I'm going to eat unhealthy things, I"m going to skip my walk and emotional eat. But in the end I'm going to do more good then bad. I told my husband the other day I'm tired of being fat, having a messy house and not going out to do anything. He can join me or leave me be because I'm not going to be held back.
Life is pretty stressful right now. Work is stressful, finances are nonexistent, and day to day is just a struggle emotionally and mentally. I believe I have PPD but I'm hoping this life change will help that.
I had my gallbladder taken out a few weeks ago so I'm still healing on the inside so I'll be taking it easy and working up to a more intense exercises. The good news is while I was in the hospital I actually seemed to surprise the doctors on how healthy I was. I had diabetes and high blood pressure when I was pregnant but as of now I don't have the issues. It's almost like they expected me to. So before anything can go wrong with me and I have that "life changing moment" I'm going to try and make a change.
Deep down in my heart I hope that my husband will join me on this roller coaster I am getting on. We all have things we want to change and bad habits we want to kick. I would love him to stand by my side but he has to make the decision himself to make a change.
So here's to the next chapter of my life.

Losing is winning
So 6 weeks after delivery I was down 45lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. My highest I ever was at 360 and at 6 weeks I was 314. I hope by the time I go back to work I'm below 300. I've made a lot of new friends and have a lot of support. Not to mention the inspiration in my arms everyday.
Problems
She was born with low blood sugar. She had jaundice and had to be on a UV light bed for 2 days. I cried when we put her on the bed. I could only take her off to feed her. She was my little glow baby. She also failed her hearing test. But we still went home on time and now all is well. Well except her hearing we still have to find out whats wrong with that.
Early Bird
On November 29th I went in for a usual NST. My baby girl was not active. They sent me to labor and delivery. I wasn't scared. I thought I would just be monitored and sent home. Michael left work and met me at the hospital. Her heartbeat was fine but she still wasn't moving. The decided she was well enough to try to induce me. It was a rough night I couldn't sleep well with all the monitors on me. I went 12 hours without eating. They gave me something to help me sleep. Michael was by my side the entire time. The next morning they check to see if I was dilating and I wasn't. The doctor suggested that I have a c-section. He knew that wasn't what I wanted but there was something obviously wrong since she wasn't moving. I agreed to have the c-section. I expected to have some time to think about what was about to happen but I didn't. At 10am I was prepped for the c-section. My water broke right after they gave me the epidural. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. It didn't take long for our little girl to join the world. She got to spend the first 30mins in her daddy's arms. With her little foot print on his hand. She was here a day short of December.
