Three days this week so far, and I have exercised every one of them. I am glad to know that even when I slip up on what I am eating, that if I keep up the exercise, I am still moving toward a healthier life. One of my regrets is letting days, weeks, and months pass where I did not really & truly work on losing weight and becoming healthier. You know, when you say to yourself, by the time my next vacation comes, I want to be down 20 pounds, or by summer I want to be in such and such a size of clothes. Almost inevitably that event rolls by and you are still where you were months before. I guess what I am saying is that I want to seize every moment I have. We hadn't been able to have children for the first 7 years we were married. I believe that was due to my weight. It is ridiculous to me that I lost those 7 years because of food that I ate and not exercising. I would not trade a single one of my now three children for a single morsel or the whole load of food I ate those seven years. Now that I am looking at wanting to get pregnant again, but knowing I need to wait until my weight is at a more managable level for a healthy pregnancy, I want to make sure that I am not wasting a single minute, hour, day, week....
