Truth Or Fiction?

Okay, I could totally sit here and lie - saying I have been working out and eating healthy. LIES, LIES, LIES.

I'm not going to lie. I've been sitting at the computer too much. I've been laying around, napping. Feeling blah and I am sure it's because of my unhealthy eating habits and my gloomy outlook on life lately.

For those of you who do not know me, my husband can no longer drive because a head injury has caused him to have seizures. He has to be eight months seizure free in order to drive, and that has not happened yet. So, I have to play taxi driver. I drive him to places he needs to go, I sit in the van and wait for him. I take him to doctor appointments and everywhere he needs to go.

I tend to my kids, take them to activities and school. If I want "me" time - it has to come early in the morning or after I am done running everyone here or there.

I have tried to schedule "me" time, but because of my husbands unknown work schedule it is just about possible to make a plan and stick with it. In the next couple of months, my husband will be medically retiring... but for now, I am in limbo. For the past year and a half, I have been in limbo.

Now that I have all of that off of my chest... I really want to make a positive change in my life. I realized today, while talking to an old friend - I am 35 years old, I am not getting any younger. If I don't watch it - I'm going to be a fat 50 year old with heart problems who is on oxygen.

I really do not want anyone to take this blog as me whining.... I do enjoy putting my children and my husband first... but, I also know that I need to take care of me in order to take care of others.

So - now that I have your attention... follow me on my journey, help cheer me on! :)
