I'm fairly new here. I just turned 42 in January--yes I'm proud of it :} I have three kids--
1) 19yr old daughter in college
2) a soon to be 17yr old son on the 16th of this month
3) and a 15 yr old daughter.
I've been married 20 years. Had the kids fast and young. Was I crazy or what? I had three C-sections which did a job on my body. Esp since I had them almost back to back. I have always been a fit and average size person. Course then comes the kids-- they kept me very busy when they were little but I never found time for ME. I'm sure many of you can relate. Something clicked about 4 years ago. I spent many days doing for them and my husband that by the time a free minute at night came for ME-- I was too tired to do anything. Yes it took me that long to realize I wasn't helping anyone of them if I was always functioning on empty. I started running-- hated it at first-- but now I find myself hating missing a run. I ran like crazy for a year. Did a race and came in dead last-- yup dead last. Was that humbling. The follow year tho-- I placed 3rd in my age group-- I was hooked. Maybe hooked too much. I ended up with no muscle tone--- don't get me wrong I was losing weight but I also was losing muscle. I ended up anemic and drained. Something had to happen or I would be in worse shape than I was when I did nothing. I decided to do alot of researching on my own. I wasn't one to hit the club (altho my husband was) I decided to make my house my own little gym-- this way no excuses. I stumbled across Cathe's videos and immediately became a fan. Heck she is in her 40s and has a couple little ones running around--- I decided there was no reason why I couldn't have muscle tone like her. Please note: I don't want to be her-- but I am inspired by her. She looks great and she is so encouraging on her tapes. I'm never bored. I finally took the plunge and ordered a HC dvd. I have made it a goal for myself since the 1st of the year to be in tip top shape come vacation time in April. I didn't place my order til January -- the date was my birthday-- what better gift to give myself. I JUST NOW received word my package has been shipped. I was worried-- since so many of you ordered way back in July. I can't wait-- I have 63 days til beach time---some how I think-- no I know I will do it. You ALL inspire me-- I have read many postings -- we all are different in many ways but yet we are very much alike. WE all want to be healthy and in shape for OURSELVES. Ok -- that's enough about me! :7
